Guest reviews for River Kwai Hotel

3 out of 5

Very average.

Pros: Breakfast - with reservations. Bath tub - if you paid the extra to have one. Kettles and tea cups could be provided, free of charge, if requested.
Cons: Kettles and tea cups should be provided free of charge. Tea/coffee could be provided free of charge.
Location: Too far out of town to walk. Need to get a taxi or other form of transport. After eating in town of an evening, difficult to get back.
Not really close to anywhere. Have to get transport to or from anywhere of any interest, and that is a lot easier said than done. We felt the hotel was very much geared towards Asian tourists, rather than Western ones. The whole place was rather dated and did not represent good value for money. Whilst breakfasts were supposedly "more than you could eat", that only applied if you ate the food they provided.
