Enjoyed the stay but the hotel needs some upgrading and looks a bit tired in places. Restaurant/buffet was good and location right by River Kwai Bridge (5 minute walk)

Reservation service:
No problems, good as always.

Felix River Kwai

Accommodation and facilities:
The room itself was nice enough if a little tired as is the rest of the Hotel. The Sonkran boat cruise was an hour too long at 2 1/2hrs and was very hot and sweaty. The main thing to let this pplace down was the Spa, if it can called that. The facilities were a disgrace for a hotel of this size and stature and the service was a joke. The lady was on her phone during the massage and kept leaving the room to talk to her friend. If you want a 5 star stay in Kanchanaburi DONT stay here as i only discovered whilst i was there there is a Beuatiful new hotel Dheva Mantra where id be staying if returned located just up the road.

Reservation service:
Excellent and efficient as aleways. The only website i use for booking hotels around Thailand...

Felix River Kwai

Accommodation and facilities:
Large, clean and friendly resort next to river Kwai. Close to Kanchanaburi town (If you don t mind the treacherous walk over the rail bridge) Staff friendly and helpful, room clean and large but with some niggles (Noisy / broken AC) Breakfast - OK. Buffet dinner - poor. Facilites - good.

Reservation service:
As usual Sawadee are top drawer. Decided to stay extra night, was told by hotel staff had to arrange through Sawadee. One short phonecall later and everything was sorted. We have used Sawadee coutless times over the last 8 years and have always found them fantastic.

Accommodation and facilities:
The room balcony was extreemly dirty and almost unusable. The pathways and stairs were also grubby and needed maintenance. The rooms themselves were ok, but the bathroom was below par. Room service was very slow. No coffee making facilities in the room. The pool area was good and the grounds were generally impressive.

Felix River Kwai

Accommodation and facilities:
Very important structure of several small 2 storey building nestled in beautiful gardens with 2 swimming pools. Our deluxe room was facing the River Kwai which was a very great moment at Sunset! Chinese restaurant serves a real Chinese food with an excellent Peking Duke and the ambiance in the bar at night was a great moment thanks to the live band. The buffet breakfast is huge and excellent. Nothing to say about staff, most of them English speaking, they do their job in a correct way. The main advantage of this hotel is that it is located at a walkind distance from the famous bridge.

Reservation service:
Efficient, but Sawadee should not request the full payment at the time of reservation (2 months before the arrival date)

Hotel is in a lovely location and the gardens are wonderful,our room overlooked the river. The breakfast was ordinary but for what we paid it was not bad.The staff were very helpful it was a shame that the hotel was not busier.Tour desk (we booked a trip on the train and elephant ride, waterfall and Hell Fire Pass - our guide nickname X was excellent and also the driver) TV s in the restaurant - not the best location the hotel would be better off investing in having UBC in guest rooms instead!

Felix River Kwai

Accommodation and facilities:
The check-in was efficient, we had booked 2 x double rooms, we arrived at 2pm only one room was ready, we waited until 3pm for the 2nd room. This is our 2nd stay at the hotel, the 1st stay was in 2007. The rooms are in real need of renovation. The bathrooms especially need an update, cracked tiles etc. The linen and towels are very old. On returing to our room for our 2nd night we had no toilet roll and only 1 tissue neatly folded and put into the empty box. I had to telephone twice to get a toilet roll delivered. The 3rd night, we had no hand towels. At 2000baht per night this is an expensive hotel in Kanchanaburi and should be better. The breakfast is very good and the two evening meals we had were very good, the Chinese restaurant peking duck was excellent. The location is near the bridge and can be walked over to get into the more tourist part, we had a car so getting around was easy.

Reservation service:
OK

Accommodation and facilities:
The hotel grounds are very beautiful and peaceful (we were staying in a superior, garden view room). The location of the hotel is very convenient: every afternoon, we walked in the shortcut way, over the bridge and arrived at the point were we took a taxi (100 Baht) to the center. The way back to the hotel, after dinner, cost us 150 Baht (a nice tuk tuk ride).Breakfast at the hotel was excellent and the service was good.

Reservation service:
Very good.

Everything was great!!! We wished though that their sauna was free and also they should have their own boat to transport people to and from the other side of the river; not all people like to walk on the bridge.

Felix River Kwai

Accommodation and facilities:
We stayed at this hotel for 1 night and would have stayed longer if we had not got other bookings arranged, the staff were very helpful and the rooms were very nicely arranged - some parts could have been tidied up but on the whole it was good. The pool was great - the best on our visit to Thailand and the food/service was good. If you want a nice walk across the bridge to the resort it can be done in a few minutes, otherwise taxis have to take the longer route and may be expensive if you don t barter. They do provide a transfer from the hotel to the town but that depends on if the vehicle is available - otherwise the staff at the tour desk will arrange one at a very reasonable price and they re really helpful too!! Enjoyed our stay and would go there again.

Reservation service:
As reliable as always. Good rates and very quick responses.

Felix River Kwai

Accommodation and facilities:
Nice hotel whith very good location (you can walk to the river kwai bridge),clean and comfortable rooms, and newly furniture. Bathroom are a little bit older, but also clean and comfort. Great and cultured garden, two clean pools whith enough deckchairs and towels....every room has balcony/terrace with chairs and table. You can order the quiet garden view or you can have river view...this, we can not recommend, because there is a discotheque on the other side of the river....what a noise... The breakfast is very good and you can have all that the heart can disire. The prices in the restaurants and bars at Felix River Kwai are in order. The staff was very helpfull and friendly. We can recommend it, and we will use it again, if we need a hotel in Kanchanaburi.

We had now problems, to use the booking service, and every thing was okay.

L hôtel est absolument superbe avec un jardin magnifique et est situé à deux pas du fameux Pont au bord de la Rivière Kwae. Malheureusement les chambres mériteraient un petit coup de jeune et de plus des détails tels que le fait de ne pas avoir de papier-toilette de rechange ou d avoir de vieilles pantouffles noircies etc. gâchent un peu le séjour qui s annonçait paradisiaque. 6 sur 10

This hotel was in a beautiful location. We had a river view room which was very spacious, well appointed and quiet with a good sized balcony and lovely view. It is only a few minutes walk from the famous bridge. We caught a long-tailed boat to the JEATH museum and from there a tuk-tuk to other sights. All in all we found this resort to be excellent value for money.

The garden view room was spacious and well kept.The landscape is good.I just cannot understand why this Hotel can subsribe to the Russian TV programme RUSSIA TODAY which is unheard of. CNN, BLOOMBERG or CNBC which are so much more popular should be made available.A one-way trip across the RIVER KWAI cost 1800Bht.A bicycle rental cost 60Bht.per hour.This is too expensive.The Hotel should provide at least one complimentary return trip to Kanchanaburi in the course of his stay. Generally, meals are more expensive and are only mediocre.I would come back, but I will make better meals and transportation arrangement in the future.
