Great facilities and location. 10 mins walk from the train station. The kitchen is well equipped. The dormitory is also very good with a great air-conditioning or fan if you prefer. The beds are comfortable with light, power socket and blackout curtains for great privacy. The whole place is very clean and well kept. Will certainly stay here again when I come back to Kanchanaburi. Lots of food shops/restaurants and supermarket nearby. A bicycle rental is also nearby along the main road.

There is only one toilet for 6 people to use but 2 bathrooms. If a person is using the toilet no one can access the bathrooms. This however won't stop me from staying here again in the dorm.

I liked everything. The single room is small but a very nice configuration, bathroom inside, comfortable bed, tv. I had a very relaxing time there. They provide coffee and water all day. Staff is very friendly and helps you in everything. It's a very peaceful place.

It's a little bit far from the bus stop but very near a wonderful night market and the train station to Bangkok, so in fact, it's good if you're not going to use the bus.

Very friendly staff and more importantly ;) : they have some cats walking and sleeping around. Very lovely and nice cats 😻 Early check-in was no problem (because we arrived early in the morning) and also we're allowed to stay after the checkout time in the shared living area (because of waiting on the train). Oh yes speaking about that: the train station of the Death Railway is max 6 minutes walk.

I honestly don't know :)

Very clean rooms. Nice common area with bus fridge and microwave and utensils for cooking. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location is great, right by the train station, war cemetery, death railway museum and many bars/restaurants. Also about 30 mins from River Kwai Bridge. In our experience it was better to stay near train station than bus station as much more to do around train station.

Not a very social hostel from our experience as we didn’t see many other guests.

I had a single room, which was very comfortable. The location is good if you want to stay near the train station. The hostel was very clean, and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and did their best to help in any way possible.

Not a lot to do outside of your room or in the common areas when looking to just take a break for a few hours.

It's a great option for budget accommodation. Comfortable bed, good shower with shower gel and shampoo, towels. Good air conditioning. Spacious parking. Can't complain for the price.

The only thing I noticed is that the power outlets lose power when the card is removed. This would have been great if, say, guests wanted to leave the laptop charging while going out to eat.

Very friendly staff, also informative and helpful in all aspects. Clean room and clean dining room. Can have free hot coffee every morning, can visit JJ night market every evening.

The garbage bin is too small, could see the trash over spilled the bin.
