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.

Perfect and authentic.
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.

Great location wonderful staff
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.

Pong Phen Kanchanaburi- Jan 2024
Cute and quirky place in a great location. Loved late afternoon beer overlooking the river. Very tranquil. Just one thing....some travellers are not considerate enough on their own in terms of their smoking habit around others. I wish they would ask guests to not smoke on the restaurant area, certainly not during breakfast hours.

It is what it is. A busy place based on inexpensive rooms with breakfast included. Obviously needs some repairs and renovation. But for the price it was fine

Amazing place, very clean and friendly and quiet. A lot of freedom. Other clients seem to be mostly older gents and their local wives, but no trouble or noise. Favourite place to stay and will be back. Pool is amazing

Fantastic place to stay - very good value! I stayed in one of the bungalows which had a nice, small balcony. Location is excellent - off the Main Street, but still quiet. Breakfast, which was included, was very tasty! I liked it so much, I extended my stay by two days.

Pongphen Guesthouse is conveniently located, just off the main drag with a myriad of cafes, shops & restaurants at your fingertips. Our Riverview room was clean and spacious but required a bit of maintenance. The pool is welcome relief at the end of a hot day of touring and breakfast was more than ample.
