Felix River Kwai Resort♡

City retreat in the tropical area

8.0

This place makes you feel you sleeping in a jungle. At night it is loud not because of city noise, but wild life. Frogs, birds, wild dogs or cicada, you can expect them making noise when you try to sleep. Interesting experience, but also can be a bit annoying. The hotel is located next to the river, there are many restaurants around and the view over the river is very pretty, especially during the sunset. The rooms are nice and tidy. The pool is great and looks nice too. There are also lots of benches and swings near the river. Watch our for mosquitoes. There is a lot of them.

Retro but not in a good way

We first visited 15 years ago and sadly apart from the welcome addition of a lap pool nothing has changed. The hotel is on the wrong side of the river But close to the bridge. Gardens are lovely but much else is anchored in the early90s Rooms are large and come with decent balconies,comfortable beds and superb views of the kwai. It is relatively cheap but let down by the following: Tired decor Bath and shower in serious need of an upgrade - more 70sthanmodern Taps tiles and shower require refurbishing Breakfast was the second worst I have ever experienced in Thailand: Lack of cups , glasses and cutlery Staff standing around not helping or renewing the buffet which was tired and often cold. They are clearly catering to the Thai onference trade and not tourists Some of the front desk staff were willing and helpful but not all This could be a great hotel but needs new management

Beautiful gardens but fails to deliver and many advertised services not available

This is more a conference facility than a hotel. It was Mostly very empty when we were there as their conference had ended. They run a minimum of services if you are not part of conference - a room, the pool, breakfast and a restaurant. But note, most other hotel facilities are closed down - swim up pool bar closed, second pool full of leaves and closed, sauna closed, no bar in resort (despite it being advertised) so you just sit in restaurant, tennis courts closed a long time ago and in disrepair, one Restaurant not the two as advertised , no business centre (despite advertising one), Big dining rooms set for 100 people but no one was there. Bit like the Shining! Room very tired. Shower could not produce stream of hot water despite complaining twice about it. Cold water showers not that bad though. Bed however is very comfortable and the aircon, though noisy, does work reasonably well. TV aerial held together with tape and so went on and off. Breakfast is good but dinner in restaurant was awful. Dreadfully slow and I moved my own plates, something that people do a lot here. The gardens are beautiful and probably the only thing that is well maintained. Very convenient for the Bridge on the River Kwai with picturesque walks along it. Nice pool. Reception staff very helpful. But it’s overall been a disappointment and we won’t come back.

Don’t expect to be impressed.

Great location, tired hotel, awful restaurant food and service. If you have other accommodation options available then avoid if possible.

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The hotel is old and worn down, which gave an overall negative impression. When we visited the massage service that the hotel advertises, the experience was unpleasant. The place was messy, I was given a dirty cup, and the massage therapist behaved unprofessionally and made inappropriate, sexual remarks, which made the situation very uncomfortable.

More like a resort rather than hotel. There is a short cut to the dead bridge. There is no lift if you are staying in the 2nd flr
