About the Riverpool Resort
Riverpool Resort is situated directly on the river in the heart of Kanchanaburi's tourist district, yet despite its central location, it offers a tranquil retreat. Located on a spacious property on a side street, the resort provides easy access to the region's main attractions while maintaining a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are clean and comfortably furnished, featuring comfortable beds and extra-large bathrooms with walk-in showers and good water pressure.
The property features a hot tub, a restaurant, and free Wi-Fi throughout. Guests in river-view rooms enjoy direct views of the water, adding a pleasant ambiance to their otherwise uncomplicated stay. The owners and management are frequently praised by visitors for their hospitality and helpfulness, contributing to a warm and personal atmosphere that larger hotels in the area may not offer.
It's worth noting that guest experiences varied in some areas. A few visitors complained about the cleanliness of the pool and insects in certain rooms. Guests who are particularly sensitive to these issues are advised to contact the resort directly before booking to inquire about current conditions. The resort is open daily from 6:00 AM to midnight, offering flexibility for early arrivals and late check-ins. Its riverside location and central position make it ideal for travelers seeking a straightforward yet comfortable base from which to explore Kanchanaburi.

Google reviews
Excellent location in a central position. Situated directly on the river and in the heart of the tourist area. The accommodation is located on a large property on a quiet side street. The manager is very helpful. The rooms are in good condition.
I spent two nights at this hotel last weekend and was very satisfied overall. The room was lovely and exactly as described. It was located right on the river and was equipped with a bed, desk, mini-fridge, and a bathroom. There was also air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The price was reasonable for me, even though I'm used to higher prices in America. Right next door is a very nice restaurant with good food at fair prices, and other bars and restaurants are within a 5-15 minute walk. The staff was extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful. Free toast and coffee were provided in the mornings.
The pool was filthy, there were ants swarming outside the room, and there were insects in the bed. I had to find another room; I had only booked this accommodation because of the pool.

Tips for visiting hotels and resorts
Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.
After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.
Location is more important than the stars
A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
