Great location. Property on older side and probably due for a Reno to take it to the next level but I stayed for ease of location - close to the action but away from the hustle and bustle. Pleasant staff. Will happily choose here for my next visit.

Goof location next to the river kwai. Well kept property with clean rooms. No elevator to the upper (third) floors. Hot water is only luke warm. Definitely not warm enough for using the bath tub as some other reviewers also noted. Breakfast is ok with many varieties but food was not kept warm. Restaurant staff showed limited interest in serving customers even when there were fewer than 10 people during breakfast time.

Flies are a real problem here. I guess maybe just time of the year as I don’t see other comments but just intolerable. In hotel areas. Room is fine with doors shut and air con on.
Unfortunately, also hotel is deserted which means no atmosphere. They must be 100 rooms and it is deserted which is a great shame because the hotel and the staff are lovely

Lovely pool area and view over the river
Good for the price and quiet location - easy walk to bridge. Property is looking tired but clean and pool area is lovely. Very poor service in restaurant first night - waited over an hour for ANY service - not even a drink. Seem to have plenty of staff everywhere but the restaurant.

2 night stay April 2024.
I love staying at this hotel. Very peaceful and the staff can’t do enough for you. The main swimming pool is beautiful and clean, the walk along the river Kwai is lovely. The breakfast is amazing. I’ve stopped here a couple of times now and I will definitely be returning again.

Lovely hotel and the room overlooking the river was beautiful. The pool area was also nice and you can ring and order drinks and they bring them to you. The only downfall is it’s about 20 minutes away from the city however we stopped here as it was a 10 minute walk to the bridge over the river Kwai. Staff were pleasant overall a nice stay!

Must have a car..
I booked here because the pictures show the bamboo restaurant on the river with perfect view of the bridge.. the restaurant has been closed since Covid I am now told..
About a 2km walk from reception to the bridge - this has to be done in daylight. The start of the bridge only has narrow plate to talk and no lights, a long way to fall. Which also means you need to get a taxi back from town which is easier said than done. Because your on the other side of the bridge about 15 min by road no one wanted to know, easier money to be made from the bars pickups.
Room was really nice, 3rd floor stairs were a little tedious once you were in and out a few times, but the service was spot on with the kart to pick you up and service for your luggage so getting around the resort was easy.
I would stay here again, IF I had a car or bike
Breakfast was great, will even do demonstrations for eggs or Thai coffee making.

Overlook Hotel - "The Shining"
Nice Big Hotel with no Guests.
Feels like in the movie "The Shining"
Big bathroom, but no seperate shower.
You still have to shower in the bathtub.
Only the empty hotel, nothing to see around in the area, you need a transport.

This is a really nice property and lovely swimming pool options. Always seemed like a lack of staff particularly around breakfast time. The grounds are nice and great frontage to the river. An easy 10 mins walk to Kwai bridge makes this ideal for getting to that area.
the staff weren't that friendly2, polite yes so would say hello but rarely servcie with a smile

Unfriendly for anyone with any slight disability
Very frendly helpful service on check in. The rooms are large and spacious but only 2 coat hangers in the wardrobe is not good.
The grounds around the hotel are most impressive and well maintained.
Access to the swimming pool for people with any slight disability is an impossibility as there are no steps for children or the elderly.
Its the same inside the hotel with no lifts or elevator to safely access the upper and lower floors.
The Breakfast provided is good and provides a good start to the day but why do you place the cutlery in single use plastic bags? This is 2025, please stop this practice of single use plastics.
Overall the hotel is in a great location but has seen better days and is in need of a little TLC
