Second time here - great staff, food & clean rooms. Make sure you pre book as hard toget rooms now as popular. Some rooms more expensive than others but still worth the price. More

stayed at Pong Phen guest house and really enjoyed our time. Location is good for local attractions (museums, etc.). The staff are really nice and helpful and the sitting area is great to socialise, eat and drink. Pool is small but good for a cool down. Rooms vary in price depending on facilities, locations and size. More

I had a room down by the river, with a little varanda. Was quiet but kind of basic. No place to put stuff, or hang stuff and barely enough light to read. With two people the room would have been quite small. But at 500 bhat; river view; cannot have it all. Nice to have access to swimmingpool. Restaurant has... More

This guesthouse is one of those that has guest writing all over the wall. In the comments, pong phen is praised for their smiling, friendly and helpful staff. I haven't met these people. Asking a simple question is a major inconvenience to them, no acknowledgement of even understanding what you said. No response to "hello", "good morning" nothing. Food good... More

If i could give it 3.5 out of 5 if i could as i think that would be a fair score as it probably is better than average. the thing that let it down for me was that i personally thought the staff were really rude, but all the walls and guestbook are covered with comments saying how nice they... More

All in all a decent guesthouse, well kept and maintained by the very friendly (and hard working !) staff. Competitevely priced rooms, drinks and breakfast, reasonably priced food (although we didn't try it). The guesthouse does what it promises, and an added bonus is the swimmingpool. Noisy birds in cages, but that's probably part of the exotic feeling. More

I really enjoyed this place! The people working at Pong Phen is very welcoming, happy and friendly. It felt kind of sad leaving this place (both the guesthouse and town) but I will definitely go back! Already looking forward to it! I stayed in one of the AC rooms close to the pool and the room was clean and nice.... More

The staff at Pong Phen are fun, friendly and are an invaluable source of information about what to do in Kanchanaburi. The guest house is located at the end of a small soi off the main street, which is great as it's a little quieter, yet still easy to get to. It's about a 15 minute walk to the Death... More

Spent one night here but the noise from the kitchen late into the night was not good. Spacious, clean rooms with A/C and all you need - just the position of our triple room was much too close to the kitchen. Staff were pleasant and helpful and food was good. More
