What guests loved the most

“The location can not be beat. Very easy access to the orphanage and to watch them bath in the river. The food was hot and very good. The staff was very helpful, the rooms were clean. My room walked out into a patio where I could over look the river. Was a very relaxing weekend. ”

“Hotel is really good. It was excellent staying for one night: big clean room, big bathroom and balcony with table, where we had our supper and breakfast. Working AC, cable TV, clean bed. The staff was friendly and was trying to make our staying more comfortable (for example, they turn on some tools against gnats, when we were having supper). I was choosing between this hotel and another, on the opposite side of the road and, as for me, it was right choice - the best for watching elephants bathing.”

, Russia

“The location was fantastic. Breakfast outside the room looking over the river was never to be forgotten.”

, United Kingdom

“Only three rooms and balcony overlooking the river where the elephants came to bathe.”

, United Kingdom

“I stayed here for two nights and the hotel was clean and comfortable. Great shower, good air con and TV. Unfortunately, due to heavy rainfall the elephants didn't show on the first day and I was quite upset as it was for a photo shoot! But, when they arrived in the second day the hotel were so helpful and kind in getting my photos. Thanks guys!! They even set up the table out on the terrace for a better shot. Elephants come out from 8.30am, 10am and 2pm. ”

“Only location is what attracts the tourists to come otherwise there is no value addition for the hotel.”

, United Arab Emirates

“Great place to sit outside the room in the morning for breakfast and watch the elephants bathe in the river. Room very comfortable and clean and everyone welcoming. There's only 3 rooms here so book as highly recommend.”

, United Kingdom

“The only nice thing is the experience with elephants but you can understand that they are more keen to sell tickets for watching elephants instead to offer a good service”

, United Kingdom

“Stunning location allows 'wake up views' of elephants.”

, United Kingdom
