Dheva Mantra Resort

Overall vibes and service of resort staff were awesome. Though it’s stated 5-star, amenities were dated. Space is big, gets a little spooky at night due to extreme darkness around the area. Knowing the history of kanchanaburi I couldn’t step out after 9pm 😂 No Netflix hence you could wind down and relax at this place. If you want a relaxing place to stay, definitely consider Dheva Mantra.

Upon arriving a few hours before check-in time, we were warmly welcomed by the staff who swiftly checked us in. There was a free welcome refreshment drinks by the lobby for newly arrived guests. The hotel, styled in a colonial manner, is situated by the River Kwai, which is 1.4 km from downtown Kanchanaburi. The property appeared well-maintained, with elegant decor in the lounge and a delightful tropical garden. Photography enthusiasts can capture stunning shots of the riverside, featuring sunrises, sunsets, and passing boats. Although unsure if swimming is permitted, there are steps leading to the water. Our room overlooked the river and boasted a balcony. Complimentary fizzy drinks, mini chocolate bars, and snacks were provided. The room was spacious, featuring pristine Thai teak floors, high-quality wooden furniture, and comfortable beds. The bathroom was exceptional, offering a powerful hot/cold shower and a separate bathtub. Fresh, unstained bath towels were provided. The expansive pool had all necessary amenities, and the internet connection was reliable and fast. The breakfast buffet offered a variety of food with hot and cold drinks, while the lounge 'Terrace' menu featured reasonably priced international options. The onsite 'Rice Barge' floating Thai restaurant by the river served delicious dishes like pork curry, laab chicken, and phad thai with prawns. The staff were courteous, friendly, and attentive, providing assistance as required. Visitors can enjoy feeding the rescued rabbits in enclosures near the pool. Contact the reception for rabbit food. For transportation, having your own vehicle is advisable. The resort does not organise tours, but various tour activities can be found in the city. A nearby 7-11 store, located about 400 meters from the resort by foot. Please note that a 300 Baht fine is applicable for lost room keycards. This is a perfect spot if you are looking for some nice and quiet place away from the city. Thank you Dheva Mantra Resort team for making our stay relaxing. We will be back again.

Love the room which is located on the ground floor with a partial view of the river. The staff is friendly.
