Jolly Frog
A favourite for those just off the bus from Th Khao San, this place lacks certain luxuries, such as organised staff and flushing toilets, but does compensate by having a large communal garden and a range of rooms.
Apple's Retreat
With the most welcoming smiles in town, friendly and knowledgeable staff give the place a homely feel. All the compact, clean rooms look out over a well-maintained garden. In a bid to be ecofriendly, the rooms lack a TV and fridge.
Sabai@Kan
This two-level boutique resort is handily located along the main drag. Rooms overlook a swimming pool and have heaps of natural light.
Pong Phen
The best-value option if you need a pool, Pong Phen has rooms that range from backpacker simplicity to more spacious options with balconies. The restaurant offers decent Western and Thai dishes.
Ploy Guesthouse
If you manage to find the rather elusive receptionists, Ploy has stylish rooms, some open-air bathrooms and a pleasant rooftop terrace.
Blue Star Guest House
This collection of wooden bungalows is enveloped by trees, giving it a natural, out-of-the-way feel. The more expensive rooms are down by the riverfront. The variety of rooms makes it a good idea to see a few before deciding on one.
River Kwai Bridge Resort
You’ll need good eyes to see the bridge, but the bungalows here are clean, a bit stylish and more than comfortable for the money.
Bousawan Resort
This gorgeous Thai-style resort with bungalows and raft rooms set among spacious grounds is a little removed from the main area, so transport is required.
Sugar Cane Guest House
Sugar Cane boasts some of the better raft-style accommodation, with rooms on a raft with a wide communal balcony, as well as landlocked bungalows and a social riverside restaurant.
Vn Guest House
Still the best option along this strip, VN remains popular due to the beautiful river views and floating raft houses. Prepare for a few passing karaoke rafts if you stay at the weekend.
Duenshine Resort
Across the river near Felix River Kwai Resort, this family resort has clean and comfortable rooms that aren't especially stylish; the balconies and porches overlooking the lush gardens make up for the dowdy interiors.
Felix River Kwai Resort
Felix markets itself as the only five-star resort in Kanchanaburi, and it has the facilities, opulence and panache to back up such a claim. Renovation work means Felix, which is 2km west of the bridge, is still the king of Kanchanaburi's resorts.
Inchantree Resort
North of the bridge, this boutique resort has set stylish Balinese-style bungalows with open-air showers in amongst Kanchanaburi's usual assortment of stuffy hotels.
Thai Garden Inn
Set just behind bustling Th Mae Nam Khwae is this peaceful 11-bungalow resort. Rooms are tastefully furnished with natural materials, while the upstairs restaurant is the place to be come sunset.
Bamboo House
For a sense of truly being away from the maddening crowds, this is ideal. Set in large, open grounds, the river raft rooms have stunning sunset views of the Death Railway Bridge. Cheaper rooms have shared bathrooms.
Kasem Island Resort
Set on its very own island on Mae Nam Mae Klong, this relaxed resort offers a variety of slightly dated wooden rooms, all river-facing and with private balconies. A free shuttle boat runs to and from Th Chaichumphon.
