Thai Guesthouse

We had the second-floor corner room and it was terrific. The room was big, showers and toilet were good and squeeky clean. Small but adequate fridge. View from side window, and nice balcony right outside. The host, Nikki, was very helpful in recommending places and repeatedly getting us transportation -- he's a gem, but customers should be sure to ask their questions early as he is not always present. Lots of Thai restaurants and a few cafes nearby.

Great location, really nice relaxed feel about the whole place. The host was usually at hand to help with any questions etc .Arranged a motorbike for me to hire and helped me with a taxi on my day of departure. I would definitely use this place again. Expect no frills or 5 star luxury. It is what is says on the tin but super value.

Nicky, the host, went above and beyond expectations – very helpful and obliging, lovely demeanour, calm, relaxed, flexible (e.g. with late checkout) and reliable – Tea and coffee (and kettle etc.) available for communal use in the reception area (which is very pleasant to sit in, with fish and cats, and great brochures full of good-value activities!) – Washing machine onsite, and our room had a warm annexe with a drying rack – Easy tuktuk ride away from many main attractions; Nicky helped arrange the tuktuks for a reasonable price – Several sites of interest (e.g. the Bridge over the River Kwai, the JEATH War Museum, a WWII cemetery) are within walking distance – Overall I would highly recommend spending a few days in Kanchanaburi, my partner and I fell in love with the place, not least On's Thai-Issan Vegan Restaurant, five minutes' walk from Nicky's place – their banana blossom salad is the best salad I've ever had, it made me emotional. In general there is so much to see and do, and two cafés in particular – Mina's and Mulberry Mellow – are couched in spectacular settings.

Great location, close to everything such as food and transport, we walked everywhere. We caught the train back to Bangkok and it was just around the corner. Very close the night market with great food. The hosts were such lovely people, Nic was super helpful with transport information to Hell Fire Pass and gave us some great food options which were soooo delicious. We loved the gardens and nature it was quiet and they also had a very cute puppy Panda. We had booked for 2 nights but stayed for 3 and will definitely stay here again if we go back. The room was so clean and the beds were comfortable, the shower had good pressure and good hot water. The air-conditioner worked very well as it was very hot while we were there.

The guesthouse was a couple of hundred metres from the train station which was handy, also down a lovely quiet road away from the Main Street. The rooms were equipped with everything we needed and the staff were very welcoming. Was a perfect place to stay.
