Natee The Riverfront Hotel Kanchanaburi

Natee The Riverfront Hotel truly lives up to its name, offering a beautiful and serene view of the River Kwai. From our room on the fifth floor, we enjoyed a wide, open panorama over the river — a real highlight of our stay. Breakfast was excellent, with friendly and attentive service. The selection was a good balance between Asian and European dishes, offering something for everyone.

We had a very pleasant stay at this well-located hotel. The room was spacious, well-appointed, and featured a large, comfortable bed, a rain shower, and a jacuzzi bath. Our unit was conveniently situated by the pool with direct front access, which added to the convenience. However, there was an unusual void between the bedroom’s sliding doors and the pool entrance, accessible via a wooden door. This area felt underutilised and could be better designed to add value to the space. Parking was easy, and the check-in process was smooth and efficient. The hotel itself was exceptionally quiet, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Our room overlooked the River Kwai, offering a lovely view and sense of tranquillity. The pool remains shaded until around midday, but there is a small terrace that receives early sun—although it only has two loungers, which may not suffice during busier times. Breakfast was generous, with a wide range of options. That said, as expected in Thailand, guests should not anticipate a traditional full English breakfast, as local interpretations of Western dishes may differ. The hotel is set on the town’s main street, with a few bars and local restaurants within easy reach. However, this is a small town, so visitors expecting a vibrant “walking street” may be underwhelmed. While there are a couple of good places to eat, the area would benefit from a more upmarket dining establishment to broaden the appeal. The Bridge over the River Kwai is approximately 2 kilometres away and easily accessible particularly convenient for us as we had a car to explore the surrounding area with ease.

This was an excellent hotel, and we stayed two nights. The room was superb, with lovely views over the River Kwai. The bathroom / shower room needs a special mention, as we could shower, whilst enjoying extensive views across the river. The breakfast was really good, with plenty of variety. The swimming pool was really good, but sadly suffered from a common problem in Thailand, not enough sunbeds. The hotel is located within easy reach of the bridge, museums and the war cemetery. Special mention to the staff, who were very attentive and helpful. Great hotel, highly recommended.

The hotel is in a great location with lots of restaurants and bars close by. The bridge is around a 20minute walk away, although plenty of tuk tuks around if required. The room had a great view of the river. The staff were very friendly and we arranged at reception for a sunset boat trip to pick us up from jetty on the property which was lovely and recommended. The only annoyance we had is there is a live music venue across the river and you can hear the music and bass all night starting around 4/5 in the afternoon.

Beautiful hotel, stayed here a few years ago and it's as lovely as ever, very tranquil right on the river, the rooms are lush, wood panelled, huge bed, big tv, jacuzzi and shower room and overlooking the pool and the river. Great breakfast in the mornings with lots of variety from cereals and yogurts to traditional Thai curries and noodles, beautiful coffees brought to your table. Lovely pool area, very clean and very quiet. Friendly staff.
