Top 10 Lodges in Kanchanaburi, Thailand

May 8, 2023 Major Galusha

Kanchanaburi, capital of Kanchanaburi Province, is home to the Burma Railway (aka "Death Railway") bridge built by Allied POWs during WWII and immortalized in Bridge Over the River Kwai. A memorial and two museums commemorate those who died in the effort, and a yearly carnival includes a pyrotechnic recreation of the bridge’s bombing. The wider province offers forests and caves to explore, and beautiful waterfalls.

You won't find a better view all along the river. Very peaceful. The owner are amazing friendly people with 5 good dogs. Room are very clean and basic, but everything that's needed. The common area is a lovely shaded spot to sit if it gets too hot.

The Bridge Residence Hotel

The Bridge Residence Hotel is situated right at the heart of Kanchanaburi city which is on the tourist area toward the Bridge of the river kwai the historical town of the world war2 (WW2) and also closed to the museums, the railway station, restaurants and bar very easy to find a transportation anywhere inside and outside of the land of peace and love xxxxx

OK for what we paid for ...

Reviewed By srhmmj

We spent four nights at this property. Parking was easy, either under the building (close to entrance) or in the yard. The hotel is a 6 storey building with two elevators. The room is of a good size with adequate furnishing and lighting. Our bathroom featured a shower, the water pressure was on and off and with that we experienced sudden but quite predictable changes in temperature. The bed is of a good size and the bedding was quite comfortable. We hated the position of the AC as it will blow straight in your face and does not seem to feature a function which will make it blow less when it reaches the correct temperature. The room also had a mini fridge (with minimal contents ... thus great to store some of our drinks) and a safe (which did not appear to be particularly well fixed). Everything felt very clean. There was also a balcony but the view is nothing to write home about ... or even take a picture. We looked over a family house (with very loud chicken) and a school. The river is visible if you lean well out of the balcony. Our rate included breakfast which was on a pre-order basis for the first morning and then a buffet for the following days. The spread is OK but service not very attentive. The most significant downside is the VERY weak Wi-Fi; I had to resort to using my phone as a Hotspot in order to watch YouTube (forget about the TV if you do not speak Thai). All in all, well located and you get what you pay for.

Art and love are woven into every detail

Reviewed By Peter R

This heart-crafted hotel is a true artistic labour of love... Artistic in broad strokes of a homely courtyard design, and cozy rooms warmed by rich earth tones; artistic in the many details of paintings, weavings, and ornaments decorating every wall and nook; artistic in the drawing pads and pencils which are put in different corners of the hotel for guests to try their hand; and artistic in a broad palette of inspiring efforts to support local communities and the environment; including selling paintings by ethnic Karen youth. I also enjoyed wonderful conversations with the owners, spanning art, history, spirituality, belonging and conservation. Highly recommended for families, amateur and professional artists looking for residences and retreats; or just finding somewhere to finally get that book chapter or report written (me) !! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Jim Guesthouse

Perfect!

Reviewed By Prue143

My son and I really enjoyed our recent stay here. Jim is the perfect host, nothing is too much trouble for her. She is so welcoming and respectful. She advised us of things to do and see and booked us tuk tuks and taxis. She also arranged for some my our washing to be picked up and cleaned. The accommodation are small bungalows. Ours had a double bed in it with an en suite shower room. There is air-con, a tv, wifi and a fridge The rooms are basic but very clean and have everything that we needed for 4 nights. I borrowed a hairdryer from Jim no problem. Breakfast is toast, eggs, jam, coffee, juice and lovely fresh fruit from Jims garden. There is a lovely swimming pool around the back which is a good size and very welcoming! It is located about 10 mins away from the main strip in a quiet location. Would stay again if we were ever back this way. Thanks Jim

My Home Guest House

It Was Perfect

Reviewed By tommydanger

I was traveling with my wife, in laws, and 1.5 year old daughter. You truly can’t beat what you get for the price. $10 USD for a bed and air conditioning is hard to beat. We didn’t need anything special and that’s exactly what this place is all about. You get your little shed with a bed. The ladies that ran the place were so sweet to our daughter and their daughter and our daughter became instant friends as we arrived. They also set up a ride back to Bangkok for us via minibus, which I highly recommend so you can relax. Definitely a diamond in the rough.
