Hotel Advice In Kanchanaburi

[duan]

I am planning to spend a few days in Kanchanaburi on my next trip to Thailand. Having read through the various relevant posts on this forum it appears that you have a choice of either staying in town or riverside near the bridge. If I stay riverside I would like to be able to see the bridge from the hotel and I have seen the photo from the Felix but am concerned that it is on the other side of the river from the other hotels and may therefore be more difficult to find tuktuks from there. I am trying to weigh up the various options and would greatly appreciate any recommendations for good quality hotels both in town and riverside with a view of the bridge.

Well, I was going to reply, but I have never seen a quality hotel with a view of the bridge.

I have stayed in 6 or 7 different places there all of varying degrees of quality and location.
