Stay in Raft Room 9 for one night.

The bedding was unusual for Thailand. The mattress was soft to medium firm, so very soft by Asian standards. There was no duvet. In place was what looked like a very large towel or thin cover. This didn't matter as Kanchanaburi was steaming hot and I set the AC to run at  a higher temperature anyway. I slept really well anyway, so no complaints there.

The room also had a tall table with two high chairs, a clothes rack, a fan and two additional electrical sockets, one of which was just above the bed.

The bathroom was pretty basic and functional. I already knew this and understood that there are limits to what can be done in a floating hotel, so I don't hold that against the hotel.

The room had a balcony with beautiful views of the river. You can even feel the raft rocking whenever a large boat passes by.

Location wise, the hotel is on the river, about 15 minutes walk south of the train station. The main street with all the bars, restaurants and shops is less than a 5 minutes walk.

The hotel has an in-house restaurant sitting on an elevated position above the river offering awesome views of the river as well as sunsets. The restaurant had a Thai and European menu. The blue cheese salad is definitely worth trying.

Overall, I had a very good stay. If you want to stay on the river in something less rustic than a boat, then VN Guesthouse is a good option. The room is not all that comfortable, but not uncomfortable either. The only negative is the bathroom, but it's something you just have to accept unless you want a luxury boat.

Magnificent Spot On River. Nice Simple Room, But Very Basic Bathroom.

Very comfortable and clean guesthouse, great location with lovely dining area looking out over river.  Meals were tasty and good value. The landlady was extremely helpful and warmhearted, she is a great ambassador for tourism the local area!

Great stay

Really nice little guesthouse which is perfectly located (near everything, but not too close) with an even nicer restaurant looking over the river and which serve, maybe, the best padthai un the world (and a very good panang curry as well)! 😉

Maybe the best padthai in the world!!!

River room - lovely and quirky on the river. Basic but clean.
Reception - very friendly and welcoming
Location - in a quiet part although 5 min by tut tut to bridge of river kwai.
Restaurant - absolutely excellent.The green curry was lovely.
Outside - tut tuts cheap although main attractions walkable too.
We got a train from kanchanaburi station towards namtok and stopped at kwai bridge (viaduct part) and checked out the nearby cave (2 mins away). ? 100baht.
We used grab taxi app throughout our 3 week stay throughout Thailand. Easy to put in pick up and drop off location, clear fixed price shown. Saves hassle of haggling tut tuts or taxis.
I would definitely recommend this guest house.
The only thing to note was the noisy nightclub across the river so if you use earplugs will be fine.

Quirky room on river. Basic but fine. Food excellent. Friendly staff. I would recommend

Stayed here for two nights during a tour of Thailand, easy access to the train station to access the Death Railway, amazing green Thai curry. Rooms overlooking the River kwai.

Only downside is the nightclub opposite is very loud and does not close until 1:30 am but the host does supply free earplugs 

Amazing location and host

One of the original riverside guesthouses and little has changed in around 40 years.

Beautiful views from the restaurant and rooms. Prices were good and the food was exceptional. Can be a bit noisy at weekends with Thai river discos and a nightclub across the river but the its still an exceptional place. Ear plugs free at reception.

Old favourite

I have been to this area many times, and wanted to stay in a room on the river.  I couldn't believe the price, but booked it nevertheless.  It turned out to be one of the great values, excellent locations, and completely quiet, so that one could hear the river monitors that sunbath on the bamboo barrier outside the bank of rooms on the river.  Although the review  I read was in error about the conditions of the facilities, that the toilet was the old style, in fact the room was clean, well laid out, and perfect for our needs for the price, 300 baht a  night ($10.00 U. S.)  There is a charming, airy, restaurant upstairs, from which one can view the complete length of the river, from bridge to bridge, and across to the other side.  I took my morning tea and evening wine, as well as most daily meals from this restaurant.  The staff are very hospitable and knowledgeable, and directed us to transportation, exhibits, and every worthwhile activity for which the Death Railroad on the Bridge is known.  I learned   that the guest house has already earned highest ratings.  They are most often used by Thais.  I was the only foreignor around!

Great value for money in modest, rustic, guesthouse on a river

Every disadvantage has its advantages.
VN guesthouse sadly had to close due to the coronavirus, they plan to re-open in July. 
Of course, they will need to stock up on fresh produce for their restaurant. As expats and regular costumers, they were nice enough to give us the cheese they still had in stock for free. We appreciate it very much, and cannot wait until they open again so we can go for some of their
 amazing meals. 
They have the best salades and sandwiches in town,  with of course the best cheese!
Their Thai food is also amazing,  and they serve delicious fresh fish (reserve 1 day ahead).
Besides their restaurant they also offer good & clean rooms on the river against a very good price. 
100% recommended.

100% recommended

It is a nice place close to the stations and the Main Street, but very calm. It’s a simple place, small room, but clean. Just in the river, you can listen the river.
Disliked  · The door not close very well.

Ok uma noite

Nice enough place for 2 nights. Bar is nice. We had a river view raft room which had a beautiful view, but was a bit dark and dingey and the bathroom is very basic. It is on a raft however so they can't be criticised for this.

Bar is relaxed . It does suffer from the occasional drain smells.

Very easy to walk to from the train station.

Nearest big street is only a 5 minute walk but sadly is dominated by go go bars.

Good value river view exploring base.
