Rooms
The hotel offers a range of comfortable rooms and suites, each equipped with modern amenities such as air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. The rooms were clean, but the bathrooms were not too good, and the water pressure was bad. Overall, I would give this hotel a 3.5 out of 5 stars rating.




Facilities
The Sky Resort Hotel boasts a variety of facilities to ensure a pleasant stay, including:
Restaurant: Serving a delicious selection of Thai and international dishes
Bar: A cozy spot to relax and enjoy a refreshing drink
Swimming Pool: Perfect for a refreshing dip and soaking up the sun
Fitness Center: Allowing guests to maintain their fitness routine while on vacation
Spa: Offering massages and treatments to help guests unwind and rejuvenate
Conference Rooms: Ideal for meetings and events
The Sky Resort Hotel
The Sky Resort Hotel is conveniently located in Kanchanaburi, approximately 130 kilometers west of Bangkok. Its proximity to the famous Bridge Over the River Kwai makes it an ideal base for exploring the region's rich history and culture.
Overall Impression
The Sky Resort Hotel is a good budget option, but I would not stay here again due to the inconvenience of the location and the issues with the bathrooms and water pressure. While the hotel offers a range of facilities and is close to the Bridge Over the River Kwai, the lack of nearby shops and potential safety concerns make it less than ideal for some travelers.
