The guesthouse is situated at the banks of river in Kanchanburi, not very far from the thai burma train tourist spot. Rooms were absolutely neat and clean. We checked in around 12:30am in night and had not even pre-booked the rooms, the staff were cooperative. They do have some breakfast menu options but we did not try.

We stayed in the AC bungalows with private bathroom. Our shower had some small bugs in it, but the other ones were fine so I guess we just lucked out. The location is fine and the rooms are okay. If you just want a decent place to sleep while visiting Kanchanaburi, this place is fine. Note: only one women speak... More

I was uncomfortable when i got there and they didn't have my reservation. Or as it appeared maybe don't even track reservations? The woman at the front desk put me in an AC room for 500 bhat.. It was clean and ok in the day, but I noticed the bathroom window didn't have a screen and faced the main street.... More

We stayed here for 4 nights, the room we had was a single room "bungalow" which had a glass roof over the bathroom area- the glass roof made for a sauna type effect throughout the day which caused the need to run the air-conditioner non-stop through the night. Added to this the service was very poor and staff were far... More

We stayed two nights at Sam's and despite the good location and the ok rooms the service was so bad that I wouldn't come back again. I'm actually right now writing from Sam's entrance, since we booked and payed a Mini Bus to pick us here 1h32min ago and nothing so far.. We try to tell her to call someone,... More

Sam's Guesthouse was a lovely place to stay in Kanchanaburi with rooms overlooking the river. Although we opted for a room without a view it still had a good atmosphere. It was along the main strip of restaurants and bars, so close enough for everything you need, but down a side street so quiet enough for a good nights sleep.... More

I paid extra for a room with air con, but it was broken when I got there. The first lady agreed to change it but then another woman who is obviously in charge came out yelling at her in Thai "don't change the room because another one will come in and complain. Give him a fan instead." She ungracefully assumed... More

We stayed some nights at this guesthouse in a small and simple bungalow with aircon. The colourfull bathroom has a glass ceiling which gives you the feeling of an open-air bathroom, we liked it. The location is very good, directly at the mainroad with a lot of restaurants around. Service was not at it's best, but okay.
