Pongphen Guesthouse

The food was delicious and we loved the banana pancakes for breakfast and ate a couple of times in the evening too. The pool was lovely but got crowded but was great for cooling off. Staff friendly and helpful - we would stay again.

Fantastic guesthouse, nothing to complain about, everything was up to our expectations. We will be back!!

Great hotel with a nice pool area, great staff and menu, would stay again for sure.

We really enjoyed our time there. The stab was so nice and serviceminded. The food was very good and it was easy to come around. We were very sorry when we had to leave from there.

Le personnel est incroyable et attentif. La chambre propre et le matelas parfait

Great staff.

Pongphen guest house is amazing it sits right along the river so try to get a room with a river view as it's amazing the staff were friendly and it was in a good location to visit places and a 30 second walk and you are in the town where's there's bars and restaurants for stuff to do in the evening

The staff was really kind and helpful.
The bungalow room was very nice.
The area is superb since it’s close to the busy street but away from the noise.
Morning breakfast by the river bank were a highlight

We loved our stay at Pongphen Guesthouse. Great location. Easy walk to many restaurants, convenience stores, etc. 15 minute walk from Kanchanburi train station (where you board the Death Railway) and the Death Railway Museum and War Cemetary. Staff was super friendly and very helpful in booking tours and telling us what to see. Located along river, we had some beautiful sunset views! They were doing some construction by the pool which was a bit noisy during the day but otherwise it was fabulous!

Staff absolutely lovely and helpful always accommodating. Food good and restaurant part very clean . Staff
There to help and just have a nice way about them. Clean tidy they look too and all staff cleaning staff laundry staff bar restaurant staff great .
Unfortunately building work was going on so my rating came down. Noisy due to that as day time near pool wasn’t able to relax at all which usually is the better part of my stay . Also the tv as kept going on and off most annoying in the bungalow . Cannot complain at all with staff and all the team worked very hard in all their own ways . Would I go back I think so but not as long as I was there 7 days but felt comfortable as a rule Karen England

Ok room. Nice breakfast included. The place is a building site, not shown on pictures. This needs to be made clear when booking. Looks like it will go for a longtime.

Renovation under way..loud

Unfortunately, when we checked in the guesthouse was under major renovations (no notice in advance) and as a result there was a lot of dust and building noise around the pool area while the accommodation was being demolished. We elected to move locations early as a result. Positives: The staff are very welcoming and friendly and helpful. The breakfast was super generous and tasty. The rooms were clean and tidy with a special note that housekeeping was super quick in the morning to clean rooms. The location is great with many bars and restaurants nearby. Many supermarkets close too. Once the renovations are complete this will be a really fabulous space to come and stay in Kanchanaburi.

Lovely, clean well positioned guesthouse. Beds very firm and so too the pillows but a good sleep none the less.
Very helpful staff..tour desk to arrange tours. Great restaurant, lovely tasty food, good pizza. No complaints..great place to stay

This was a great hotel to stay at staff were so friendly and helpful food was excellent couldn't ask for more

Very helpful and friendly

Very friendly helpful staff

This was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve stayed at globally. It was so quaint and authentic. The setting was beautiful, at the end of the road made it quiet with trees and plants around to seclude. At the very end it overlooked the river and the pool was perfectly positioned. The restaurant is open all day and had a very extensive menu of Thai and Western foods at very reasonable prices. We ate here at every meal. Included breakfast was a choice of eggs on toast, cereal, pancakes or muesli plus drinks. The room was large with AC. The bathroom was a wet room with an electric shower that wasn’t particularly heated but it wasn’t needed in the Thai weather! Location allowed a good walk to the River Kwai bridge and outside of the war cemetery & death museum.

The staff was amazing and wonderful location. The breakfast was good, standard, but good. Room was large.

Had to have the key in the slot to use the AC. No issue since most rooms seemed to have a secondary padlock style latch and we used our luggage lock to lock our room when not there.

Bed was rock hard. I like a hard bed but these were plywood hard.

Everything you needed was very convenient. The staff were super helpful.
