“Prime elephant viewing spot”
+This was in a prime location for elephant viewing. They start the parade during breakfast whilst you’re seated downstairs - they just march straight past a few metres away, and the herds are brought up and down past the hotel all day till 4pm (check the orphanage web page for the times, it’s like clockwork). You can stand on the balcony, sit in the cafe part or just stand out front. The hotel was simple but clean, AC worked, showers decent (so many water outlets!), breakfast was good. Staff lovely of course. If you arrive earlier than 4 - call the hotel and they will tell you the back road in (to avoid the elephants on the Main Street). You may be told you cannot access the area till after 4pm. Also avoid anyone here who tries to get you to go to a herb garden. It’s a scam. Beware of being asked for a tip to have your photo taken with an elephant. A keeper may line you up for it then ask for a tip. This is not allowed and should not be encouraged. Tell them you have no cash on you and they should walk away. They do have a bunch of elephants to get back to the orphanage after all.
−Beds a bit hard.

+The location is fantastic. The hotel is situated right along the route where the elephants walk to the river, so you can watch them directly from your balcony. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the air conditioning worked well. I also appreciated the flexible check-in time, as I arrived earlier than expected and the staff did their best to accommodate me.
−The bed sheets were not as clean as expected, and overall cleaning could be improved.

“象を見るなら最高のホテル”
+立地が最高ベランダから象の行進が見られる一日4回もベッドに居ても象達がやって来ると気配でわかりすぐベランダに出て見られた一階のレストランで食事をしていたら目の前を大きな象が通って行くのが見られる私は2泊出来たので沢山の象が見られて最高でしたリバーサイドのホテルも素敵ですが私は象の行進が見られるこのホテルが大好きでした象が可愛く一生の良い宝物が出来ましたスタッフさん達も優しくて親切でした部屋も清潔でした皆さんがいつまでもお元気でホテルが益々繁盛しますようお祈りしています

“Terrazza sugli elefanti”
+Staff molto gentile e camera grande e accogliente. Il vero punto di forza è il passaggio degli elefanti davanti l'albergo.
−Il letto era grande ma le lenzuola erano macchiate
