Great place to stay ”
The place is magnificent, I was lucky enough to have a room overlooking the river, on the balcony a table and chairs to enjoy the sunset. The room is spacious and very bright, the bed comfortable. The price includes breakfast. The small pool is perfect after a day of exploring Kanchanaburi. The staff is kind and helpful. The value for money is excellent, and I highly recommend it to anyone coming to Kantchanaburi

Great Value”
How did I not know about this hotel? Have been to Kanchanaburi many times and only booked a room here when my other 2 go-to hotels were full. Great room (deluxe double), very clean and spacious. Was on the top floor and had a nice view of the river. TV had no English channels, which is normally no big deal, but it's nice to have at least a news channel to watch. Swimming pool was clean and was a great way to cool off in the steamy afternoon heat this town offers. Breakfast was included, which was coffee or tea, plus a selection of Thai or western options. All staff I interacted with spoke English well and were helpful. They also offer motorbike rental and laundry service. I have to say, this was one of the best value hotels in this price range in this town. For just a few dollars more than the budget hotels here charge, you get a major upgrade over those rooms. This hotel will now be my number 1 choice in town.

The hotel is all you need in kanchanaburi, great pool, clean, spacious and comfy rooms, and walking distance to the night life. The breakfast included was also great with lots of variety to choose from. Will definitely be back!

Highly recommended!”
We had a good 5 days stay in this guesthouse… front desk and restaurant staff are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant serves very good Thai food at affordable price… the pool is right outside our rooms and it’s very clean. The rooms are clean and certainly value for money. The location of this guesthouse is good- near to bars, massage places and eating places .. will definitely stay in this guesthouse again.

Family Friendly”
The main tourist road in Kanchanaburi runs from the cemetery at 1 end yo the bridge on the river kwai at the other approx 1.5 mile Pong Phen sits on a small side street just off that so you can walk or taxis available Traditionally this is a back packing area and most hotels in the area are cheaper aimed at this Pong Phen is above the back packing standard and in a much better location than many of the more luxurious riverside resorts that you really need your own transport for It is a small family hotel the staff are friendly and a big plus great with the kids The pool is 1 of my reasons for choosing this hotel it is small in a nice surrounding and perfect for my son learning to swim The surroundings of this hotel are very nice The other reason was i needed a family room. The room was no frills but clean a good size and good sleep i would have liked Coffee facility but you can get hot water at reception The big negative for me was the wifi which was very slow. The food is another big plus the choice on the menu is great and cooked to order great if you want something cooked to your preference but not so good if you are in a big group but the location is good so lots of places to eat 7 eleven pharmacy within a 5 minute walk i visited when the River Kwai festival was on you could walk or motorbike taxi to the bridge but parking at the bridge was awful busy and an excuse to overcharge so hotel location a plus Most of the cheaper hotels around dont have the pool and the better hotels are away from the amenities and lack transport or in my case family room so a good option

Could have been perfect”
Only 2 things needs to be changed to make this the perfect little guest house. 1. Rooms needs black out curtains 2. Rooms needs a set of thin pillows instead of the high ones. If these two can be fixed I would decently give this place 5 stars

Value, location, swimming pool!”
With basic but clean rooms in which one can have a good night's rest, Pong Phen guesthouse is my 'go to' for central Kanchanaburi accommodation at the budget end of the spectrum. The location is extremely convenient, being only a very short walk from all the pubs and restaurants in the tourist orientated part of town. The resort has a surprisingly nice pool, with many of the rooms being located around it. There is also a restaurant and modest bar should you wish to stay in. If you have your own vehicle, there is off street parking.
