Don’t expect to be impressed.
Pros:

Great location, tired hotel, awful restaurant food and service. If you have other accommodation options available then avoid if possible.

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
Pros:

The hotel is old and worn down, which gave an overall negative impression. When we visited the massage service that the hotel advertises, the experience was unpleasant. The place was messy, I was given a dirty cup, and the massage therapist behaved unprofessionally and made inappropriate, sexual remarks, which made the situation very uncomfortable.

Resort
Pros:

More like a resort rather than hotel. There is a short cut to the dead bridge. There is no lift if you are staying in the 2nd flr

Great location. Large rooms.
Pros:

2nd time staying here. It’s a really large hotel. The hotel is located next to the river Kwai bridge. The rooms are clean and large. The breakfast had mainly Thai option with a few western items. The swimming pool was amazing. Note there is a lot of stairs in the hotel which I didn’t mind.

Unique and beautiful location
Pros:

Had a lovely few days here, the staff were wonderful.
There were very few guests while I was there, and for me that was heavenly.
The actual bridge over the river Kwai is directly accessible from the hotel, a short walk from the security hut. Really unique !
There's also a 7 eleven just outside the facility, so that's very good too.

Amazing relaxing stay
Pros:

What an amazing relaxing place wow just what was needed. A lovely welcome from the hotel reception , all the hotel team were so friendly and professional. Our room was spotless and all the grounds are very well looked after . Beautiful views of the river kwai , and only a 5 minute walk to the bridge and little town . Wish we could have stayed longer but we will be back next time we visit. Thankyou it’s been a pleasure

Pros:

All of the interior spaces, including my room, are/were immaculate, exactly what you should expect from an establishment calling itself a ‘Resort’.
The exterior is showing a little age/wear from the brutal Thai weather.
I didn’t eat at the resort so I can not comment on the food or food service.
It’s a beautiful location on a bend in the river just across the historically famous River Kwai bridge. The bridge is approximately a 10 minute walk.

Pros:

Goof location next to the river kwai. Well kept property with clean rooms. No elevator to the upper (third) floors. Hot water is only luke warm. Definitely not warm enough for using the bath tub as some other reviewers also noted. Breakfast is ok with many varieties but food was not kept warm. Restaurant staff showed limited interest in serving customers even when there were fewer than 10 people during breakfast time.

Pros:

Flies are a real problem here. I guess maybe just time of the year as I don’t see other comments but just intolerable. In hotel areas. Room is fine with doors shut and air con on.
Unfortunately, also hotel is deserted which means no atmosphere. They must be 100 rooms and it is deserted which is a great shame because the hotel and the staff are lovely

Pros:

Great location. Property on older side and probably due for a Reno to take it to the next level but I stayed for ease of location - close to the action but away from the hustle and bustle. Pleasant staff. Will happily choose here for my next visit.

Must have a car..
Pros:

I booked here because the pictures show the bamboo restaurant on the river with perfect view of the bridge.. the restaurant has been closed since Covid I am now told..

About a 2km walk from reception to the bridge - this has to be done in daylight. The start of the bridge only has narrow plate to talk and no lights, a long way to fall. Which also means you need to get a taxi back from town which is easier said than done. Because your on the other side of the bridge about 15 min by road no one wanted to know, easier money to be made from the bars pickups.

Room was really nice, 3rd floor stairs were a little tedious once you were in and out a few times, but the service was spot on with the kart to pick you up and service for your luggage so getting around the resort was easy.
I would stay here again, IF I had a car or bike
Breakfast was great, will even do demonstrations for eggs or Thai coffee making.

Lovely pool area and view over the river
Pros:

Good for the price and quiet location - easy walk to bridge. Property is looking tired but clean and pool area is lovely. Very poor service in restaurant first night - waited over an hour for ANY service - not even a drink. Seem to have plenty of staff everywhere but the restaurant.

No go for disabled persons
Pros:

I’m disabled and walk with crutches.
For such a big hotel not having elevators, or rooms close to the main building is a pity. Also the bathroom had only a bath which is not so easy. A lot of steps, stairs, bridges to take when you walk around.
Lovely pools but not enough lounge seats..
You can’t change money in the hotel, so you have to go to the centre. Staff speaks poorly English..
