Awesome place with helpful staff, rooms simple but have everything what you may need with extra space with table and chairs outiside (and a private balcony when you are staying on the raft). Place has also own restaurant with delicious food and beautiful view, mattress sitting and low tables (or normal tables if you prefer). We booked for 3 days but in the end we stayed for a week.

Great value for money room. Toilets need to flush with a bucket and water but the room is very comfortable with air conditioning. River View is lovely it's such a shame that there are noisy resorts over the river making too much noise. But this is not the resorts fault and if you stay in a front room you may not notice it so much. Food in the restaurant is very good and outstanding value.

Staff were lovely and the physical location was brilliant, but to get there you have to walk down quite narrow lanes with aggressive dogs! Condition of the facilities weren’t great either my bed had bugs and the overall state of the room was pretty poor. I feel bad because the staff were friendly and helpful but I would not recommend it!

Great location and value”

We really enjoyed VN Guesthouse for the location, price and views. Even if you don't get a river-view room (which I recommend), you can still enjoy the view of the river at sunset with a beer from their restaurant. The restaurant has good food at decent prices. There may be better restaurants around town, but we were never disappointed with a meal and beer there at the end of the day, or the start of it. We rented a scooter from them, and that ended up being one of our favorite things to have while we were in Kanchanaburi. Their prices are a little higher for scooter and taxis, but they are convenient and competitive, and overall we found it best to use these services from the guesthouse. We would definitely stay here again! In fact, we extended our reservation one more night because of how much we enjoyed it!

We had a really nice stay at VN Guesthouse. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We felt at home from the moment that we were there! The location could not be better! Just 7 minutes walk from the Kanchanaburi railway station and 30 minutes from the River Kwai bridge station. There are plenty of restaurants and bars in the neighbourhood. The food served in the guesthouse is amazing, so as the view!! We recommend this place to everyone!

Nice place to stay with good restaurant”

The room was spacious and clean with a nice balcony area directly on the River Kwai. The bathroom was basic but clean with a warm shower with good water pressure. The place is ideally located for Kanchanaburi station which is a 5-10 min walk, helpful if you are catching the early train! It is a 15-20 min walk from the River Kwai Bridge but we saw this as a benefit as it wasn't noisy or busy. There is a very good restaurant attached which serves a variety of food and drink but there are also a number of other bars and restaurants nearby.

Wonderful Stay at this Raft House”

In Kanchanaburi, I was looking for a different sort of hotel so I decided on booking a raft house on the river. There are a few raft houses, I think there are four, VN Guesthouse appears to be more reasonably priced. Also I wanted to have a floating raft house that faces outwards to the river. Although it was not available, the owner made an effort to reserve one as soon as one was available after my booking. Location is rather far from the Death Railway where I need to take a long walk but the distance is manageable (staying along the river would necessarily be far from anyway). The train station is also not far from this Guesthouse. So is the Memorial Cemetery and the Museum. Guesthouse has a good restaurant and I am quite pleased with the food. Overall it was very good. I would recommend this to any traveler.

Calm & Serene”

VN is a few minutes walking distance from the Kanchanaburi railway station via the War Cemetery and Death Railway Museum. It's near the night market which is just next to the railway station. The tourist street is also minutes away with many restaurants. The room is decent and clean. I took the one facing the river which is great. There are seats and tables along the corridor for you to relax and enjoy the view. The staff are generally friendly. I would have rented their motorbike if the owner had not insisted on taking BOTH a cash deposit AND my passport. I ended hiring one nearby at the tourist street, providing either one. VN can arrange minivan to Bangkok and nearby for you at higher rates but you get to relax at VN since the minivan will come pick you up. Overall, it a calm and serene place to stay!

Nice room overlooking the Kwai River”

We truly enjoy our stay at this guesthouse. Located within walking distance from the railway station, this guesthouse offers rooms with a nice view of the river. Our room is comfortable and spacey we love it so much. The entire house however, rocks when any boat passes by, which can be a little terrifying for those who suffer motion sickness. Party boats with loud music cruise down the river every now and then at night, which is kind of fun to watch. We will definitely come back again.
