The staff was really kind and helpful. The bungalow room was very nice. The area is superb since it’s close to the busy street but away from the noise. Morning breakfast by the river bank were a highlight

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay at Pongphen Guesthouse. Great location. Easy walk to many restaurants, convenience stores, etc. 15 minute walk from Kanchanburi train station (where you board the Death Railway) and the Death Railway Museum and War Cemetary. Staff was super friendly and very helpful in booking tours and telling us what to see. Located along river, we had some beautiful sunset views! They were doing some construction by the pool which was a bit noisy during the day but otherwise it was fabulous!

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.

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.

Favourite place to stay in kanchaniburi

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
Christopher, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderfull stay at Pongphen. Everybody was super friendly and our 4 year old daughter also loved the place. Very good breakfast, very good food in the evening, quiet, fantastic staff, nice swimming pool and walking distance from the bridge, the night market and restaurants. If we ever come Jack to Kanchanaburi we will definately stay here again. Thank you!!!
Ines, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Overpriced, but good location

We stayed one night at Pongphen and paid roughly 1000 BHT. We felt this was a little overpriced for a dated guesthouse, but it was well-located and breakfast was included. Staff were friendly enough but I think we would stay elsewhere if returning.
