    “2 night stay”

    I have stayed at Pong Phen Guesthouse numerous times over the last almost 25 years. It was some years since my last stay and the place is much changed, with the addition of a new building and a swimming pool. We stayed in a superior room in the new building, which was very comfortable. Criticisms would be that there was no curtain on the tinted window at the back of the room, meaning the room was bright early in the morning. Also, the showerhead was leaky and somewhat defective. That said, we enjoyed our stay. The staff are as pleasant as ever, the location excellent but nice and quiet. The breakfast, which is ordered from a menu, is good. Pong Phen Guesthouse is an excellent value for money budget accommodation. I will undoubtedly stay there again.

    “Good option for a short stay”

    Room reviewed: bungalow A good option given the location, clean if basic rooms and friendly staff. There's a restauarant/ bar onsite which is a nice option if you arrive late or feel lazy. The views of the river are really nice too. As it's down a side street, there's no street noise. Some considerations might be: - if you're leaving early, you might miss breakfast that you paid for as the kitchen doesn't open in time to get the early train - the bungalows are next to the restaurant bar area so expect to hear other guests until 10pm/ after 7am. Not a big problem but worth knowing.

    “5 days stay ”

    We loved it here, it’s very clean, the breakfast is included and does the job. The ladies working here are very efficient at their job and attentive. They are always asking where we are going, if we want more food etc. Yes the bed rooms aren’t white etc but don’t let this put you off, it’s extremely clean and well looked after :) Thank you for having us :)

    “The best place to stay in Kanchanaburi”

    I love this guesthouse, I have stayed in P9 next to the pool many times, and it is perfect. The renovated rooms are first class, with facilities provided all new and in good working order. The daily housekeeping is fantastic, they will basically order you to have the room cleaned every day. The chef on the premises does a great job in preparing dinner and the free breakfast, cooked with live.

    “Toller Aufenthalt ”

    Wir haben für drei Nächte in zwei Deluxe Zimmern gewohnt (im ersten Stock in zweiter Reihe). Die Zimmer waren riesengroß und sehr sauber. So auch das große Bad. Einziges Manko: leider etwas hellhörig und die Vorhänge verdunkeln nicht, so dass man morgens im Hellen liegt. Wir waren zu viert (zwei Erwachsene und zwei Kinder) unterwegs und es gab leider keine Familienzimmer. Bei der Zimmergröße hätte locker noch ein zweites Bett oder Hochbett reingepasst und es wäre immer noch ausreichend Platz gewesen. Es war etwas schade, dass wir zwei Zimmer buchen mussten. Der Pool war klasse und eine tolle Abkühlung nach Ausflügen in der Gegend. Das Frühstück war inklusive uns auch gut. Es gibt eine Auswahl aus mehreren Gerichten über Toast. diverse Eier, Pancake, Obst, Müsli etc.. Das Restaurant war super. Jedes Gericht, das wir hatten, war sehr gut. Wir haben alle Tage dort gegessen. Es gibt auch leckere Pizza, worüber sich unsere Kinder gefreut haben. Insgesamt auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Wir würden wiederkommen.
