What guests think

Dheva Mantra Resort draws praise for grand colonial style, spacious riverside rooms, tranquil grounds, and a large pool, while recurring critiques focus on dated maintenance, occasional cleanliness lapses, limited dining and bar options, and variable breakfast variety.

Many guests commend the friendly, helpful staff. The riverside location is peaceful but a drive from town, so most rely on taxis or scooters and some found hotel-arranged rides expensive. Expect a scenic, quiet stay with spacious rooms and character, tempered by aging upkeep and limited dining.

Nice big property by the river very quiet but attention needed on the pool cleanliness( full of leaves and dead/dry plants hanging in the pool, unvarnished lounge chairs, not working lamps around pool , very tired umbrellas etc. Diner was good but breakfast options very limited and not of 5 star standard … Thanks for good stay but you can be much better !!;)

The facility feels somewhat dated and worn. While the buildings appear to have been well constructed, they have not been well maintained. The surrounding yards and overall resort compound could benefit from better upkeep, as they feel a bit neglected. With improved maintenance and management, this could be a truly great place. That said, the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful—easily five-star service. The breakfast buffet was enjoyable, though vegetarian options were quite limited.

One of the finer resorts I have stayed in Thailand. Love the architecture and gardens surrounding the resort. The pool and bicycles were a big hit with the family. I will be back for sure.....

The hotel building is amazing. Beautiful pool and pleasant gardens. It's a shame that the stairs and hallways are not cleaned properly and were not washed during our entire stay. Signs of liquids and dirt. The building is outdated and there are plumbing problems and uncomfortable spring mattresses. Other than that, it was nice.

Nice older 3,5* Hotel with huge rooms in colonial architecture. However management is unprofessional and understaffed. Front desk lied to me several times "there is no Sauna in the Spa" - when I went to men's locker there was Sauna switched on read to be used. The Spa receptionist said it's 200 THB (regardless how many persons and how long). Front desk once again insisted in "there is no Sauna", then they said "it's broken" (but it was working 2mins before)... With a little money lot could be improved but it seems there is no money? Rates around 70€/night a absolute maximum - more would be overcharged for a 30 year old hotel with such a renovation gap. Note: on the busy weekends the "Mantra" might be missing when the masses from Bangkok are on the way to the closeby waterfalls. From Sunday to Thursday it might be very very quiet. Note: without a car you are lost (10mins to downtown with restaurants and massage temples) Breakfast limited western choice though good quality level. Pool towels are missing in "quiet times" in a nutshell: could be done better with some more professionality - international chain maybe?

This is my second stay with my family. It was better last time we visited (a year ago). Things looking the same and alittle more dated without any improvement on the facilities, for example the pool isn't as clean as it use to be. Breakfast doesn't have a much variety as before. Still the room is very bigs and over all environment is beautiful. Just hoping it would be alittle better

The property condition of 12 years and going through Covid I’ve gotta say that is well maintained. I like the bathroom products which smell very good. Our room is on separated building which gave us privacy and nice river view. The pool is gigantic with beautiful sight. Hotel location is better with motorbike or car to travel around with. PS. It’s not hotel fault but we heard loud EDM music from room balcony from a club or a night market near River Khwae Bridge, but luckily the room has nice sound proof.

Lovely room = junior suite overlooking the river kwai big size, only negatives I would raise are the fact it’s a resort in a tourist hotspot yet not 1 English speaking tv channel and what’s with the DVD players if you don’t have a stock of DVDS people don’t randomly travel with DVDS and when I asked reception they just did not understand me at all, and locks on the balcony doors of which I had 2 provide no security whatsoever as i locked my partner on both balconies and she pushed both doors open with ease so that needs to be addressed.

A very large and beautiful resort . You will need a taxi app on your phone to get anywhere unless you just want to stay at the hotel. Too far to walk anywhere. Booking a taxi thru the hotel will be 4x higher. No day tour information available, so you will need to find on your own. A very friendly staff. Food at the resort is not so great but the staff is.

The hotel buildings and grounds beside the river are lovely, the huge downside for any prolonged stay, is only one restaurant, serving only Thai food. Strangely the same restaurant provides the room service menu with international cuisine. But this is not served in the restaurant. Also no evening lounge or hotel bar available. So at night you would just be sitting in the room with one English TV channel. The town centre is about 10min drive away.
