Smiley Frog

Definitely recommended this place for the price we got (about 550 thb for two people per night), if you are open to some southeast asian charme.
The garden is absolutely stunning to chill and have some drink after a day of exploring. The view on the river is also great. But the room itself is a little old-fashioned. You'll have a good (air conditioned) night and be able to wash yourself, but don't expect everything to be squeaky clean and be ready for the miscellaneous ant or other bug here or there.
Would go again if I could

Visited a friend who was booked in here. I think that the original owner has shifted to a new building across town with the same name. What is left is showing its age. Rooms are bungalows and small motel-style. Nothing wrong but nothing to recommend it either. But ya get what ya pay for. at around 5-600 per night this is indeed one of the most economical places to stay.

Chambre équipée à minima mais en correspondance avec le prix de la nuitée, cependant la jolie chambre en bois montrée sur les photos n'était pas pour nous....
Par contre, emplacement plein centre très pratique, et malgré tout en retrait du bruit de la rue car au fond d'une ruelle.
Le jardin semble très bien tenu et est très agréable et apaisant.
Accueil moyen.

This property was perfectly positioned for our stay. The view across the river is lovely and the garden is well kept and a lovely space to relax in.
The room had everything we needed.

Très beau guesthouse , ont est très vite transporter par la beauté du jardin , cependant les murs sont assez fin

自然の環境が良く、庭に椅子が置かれ自由にくつろぐことが出来る。レストランの食事も美味しかった。スタッフも親切。価格から見ると申し分ない施設でした。また来たら泊まります。

Excellent location with a great garden. Good price, comfortable room.

The bungalow was great

Very nice property in a stunning location with a beautiful riverside garden.
Rooms are basic but comfortable, hotel is in a great location for bars and restaurants in the area.
Only downside is the rooms don't have a fridge.

Hôtel très agréable avec jardin au bord du rivière.
Location scooter à gauche laundry.

庭がきれいで、テーブル椅子が何組も置いてある。そこで朝食を食べると気持ちがよい。部屋の掃除が行き届いている。セブンイレブンがすぐ近くにある。

บรรยากาศดี

There are a number of guest houses along the river in this area which is more or less the tourism strip. I checked out a couple of them before choosing the Frog, as it was the best option at a walk-in price of 500 THB.

Although the garden setting on the river is indeed lovely, the accommodation itself is very basic even by Asian standards. The air-conditioning and hot water worked well but the bedding was dirty and of poor quality.

Unfortunately, I had bad luck with the people occupying the room above me. They were up until the wee hours of the morning and I could here every move they made.

Overall, a rather unpleasant stay, so I chose a different accommodation for the next night.

A nice place in a great spot on the river and near to the nightlife. But a lovely quiet place.
Good food on site at very reasonable prices.
The owner was very helpful when I needed repairs to my motorbike, taking me on her bike to find a garage that was open.
Thanks :)

บริเวณที่พักสะอาดคะ มีพี่คอยรับลูกค้าคะ ถึงแม้ว่าเราจะเข้าพักดึกกว่าที่คิด พี่เค้าก็โทรมาถามว่าถึงไหนแล้ว อาห่าอร่อย ราคาไม่แพง มีเมนูให้เลือกเยอะ ชอบปีกไก่ทอดกระเทียม กินจนลืมน้ำจิ้มเลยคะแต่ในห้องพักไม่มีตู้เย็นและทีวีคะ

Good location, basic but good room without a fridge in the room. Staff were friendly and helpful.

They have a large varied menu of western and asian food, the food prices are reasonable. The price of a beer was reasonable. The staff were nice and friendly, and good service. We have visited on more than one occasion and will visit again when we go to Kanchanaburi again.

I been coming here for 16 years since it was called jolly frog, it has its ups and downs BUT one thing never changed is the restaurant staff adding and stealing a few extra baht on the bill, yes it was happening before and still happening, i always know what i order and how much it cost, this time 3 days in a row i went to eat there and order the same thing, and today with a different waitress she charged me almost double, talked to the boss but ofcourse she took her staff side, terrible attitude from the staff and dissapointed reaction from boss, i will never come there again and i will make sure many will hear about it!

Smiley Frog restaurant used to have an excellent reputation for good quality food and service at an affordable price. Sadly, the quality of good food and service left with the previous owners.

Disappointing meal with terrible service.

How strange, in light of the current tourist downturn, to ask your customers to settle the bill when the food is still being delivered to the table; simply because the owner wishes to count the money. What if we had wanted another drink, dessert or coffee??

As said, this restaurant USED to have an excellent reputation. A reputation that took the previous owners years to build but the new owners took only minutes to lose forever.

Not recommended.

I like the huge garden facing the river.
