Miss A L Sherman 2009-06-02	Royal Riverkwai Resort & Spa, Kwai Yai This hotel is just fabulous with a view and river location to die for. It s set about 15 minutes drive outside of Kachanaburi town, so you have to take that into account when booking, but it is worth every second of the drive. The hotel rooms are quite basic but lovely, although we were slightly dissapointed with the bathroom - our shower didn t work properly during one of the evenings - and the bathroom itself was more basic then we d have hoped. Having said that, it really didn t matter and we loved the room. The service in the hotel and hotel restaurant is exceptional although we were less impressed with the food - we did stay out of season, so some of the food wasn t available, but our food wasn t as nice as restaurants outside of the hotel and it was obviously more expensive. We would definitely come back to this hotel but perhaps in high season when there are a few more people around to give it more of an atmosphere.	The booking service was just fantastic - we booked about 3 hotels through Sawadee.com and had no problems at all and the correspondence was really quick and helpful. Would definitely book with Sawadee.com again.
Jeanette Godden 2009-04-26	Royal Riverkwai Resort & Spa, Kwai Yai We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel is lovely, very quiet. We stayed here at the end of April, so we were the only people in the pool at times. Very nice would def go back. Mr Lec the taxi driver was fab too.	Excellent, easy to do, and all enquiries were dealt with efficiently.
Jeanette Godden 2009-04-26	Royal Riverkwai Resort & Spa, Kwai Yai Fabulous hotel, thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We paid extra to have a river view suite,well worth the money!! Lovely people. The food not that great, but restaurant on river Kwai is lovely, however the floating restaurant is awful for food so do not eat there.	excellent, easy!
Wetzel 2009-03-19	Royal Riverkwai Resort & Spa, Kwai Yai Hmmmm...first...the hotel is off the beaten track. Second....that doesn t matter, if you use it for one or two nights. Breakfast is not bad, prices in restaurant are okay and the food tasted good. There where daily-seminars with many asian people, but not noisy. In the evening there where more european/asian guests, but also not noisy. We used the clean pool and the deckchairs all alone...only in the evening, when the other guests arrived at the hotel, maybe two or three persons where in the pool.... The rooms are ok and clean, the bed cosy. The balcony is nice, with a secluded spot to sit on.... The bathroom is the only one, we have to criticise, because the wash-hand basin is incorrect mounted, and if you use it, you can also wash your feet at the same time, and we think, that the guest in the bathroom under ours could wash their hair with our water.... The garden is nice and the property is big enough, to take a walk on it...there are some holiday homes...very nice... The staff was very friendly and the chambermaids very complaisant if we needed something. We can recommend the hotel if you will have one or two quiet and lazy days, but there is almost nothing around. On the backside is the river and accross the street is a little shop, where you can buy beverages and food if you need.......	Easy to use, but sometimes I needed a dictionary.
Yvonne Vo 2009-02-26	Royal Riverkwai Resort & Spa, Kwai Yai Overall, our stay at Royal Riverkwai was nice. The hotel is not in the centre of town but it was fun as we got to rent a scooter and make our own way around. Taxis are hard to come by in Kanchanaburi so I highly reccommend a scooter. The room itself was nice. The bathroom however leaked. They provided a tv channel with just movies streamed from a computer. Buffet breakfast was provided and there was plenty of nice food. You had a choice of Asian and Western breakfasts. Staff were nice, although it pays to learn a bit of Thai whilst you re here. Make your bookings for tours whilst your here, Royal Rivwer Kwia is more then happy to help you. You even save yourself some bahts! Try not to book tours from Westerners as Thais are normally exploited in these businesses.	I booked online and it was a simple process.
Markmann 2009-02-02	Royal Riverkwai Resort & Spa, Kwai Yai It is a nice alternativ to the big caos in Bangkok. The hotel is a beautiful place to relax, with a nice pool and the possibility to have dinner directly on the river kwai. It is about 8 km away from the city center, so a very calm place for relaxing, but not for those, who want to walk to the city by foot. Staff is courteous and rooms are clean.	Easy to book, confirmation about reservation within 24 hours.
Jochen Wagner 2009-01-20	Royal Riverkwai Resort & Spa, Kwai Yai Very nice hotel in front of the river! Rooms are clean and well equipped. Breakfast buffet is very good. Dinner is good as well. Staff is very friendly.	No problems. Will book again.
Robert Norman 2009-01-03	Royal Riverkwai Resort & Spa, Kwai Yai nice resort, but very over priced, as was the food and spa packages! It is also quite a way out of the main town so it will cost you 200THB each way in a taxi. next time I go back to the Kanchanaburi region I wouldn t stay here.	very good
William Bluhme 2009-01-02	Royal Riverkwai Resort & Spa, Kwai Yai The staff were excellent, kind and helpsome. The hotel were nice, with a beautiful garden down to River Kwai. It was no problem to take a taxi or a songthaew from/to Kanchanaburi. We paid both 60 bath and 200 bath for the trip to the hotel..	We found it very easy to use Sawadee, and it works without any problems.
Jad Thomas Bajjali 2008-11-14	Royal Riverkwai Resort & Spa, Kwai Yai This hotel was pleasant and reasonably well maintained. Quiet and peaceful location. However, isolated and well out of the main town area. You will need to allow about 15 minutes travel time (and about $10) to commute if you dont want to eat in the hotel. Not for the party-harders!	Booking service was efficient and worked well. Only complaint was the indication of the hotel location was inaccurate.
