Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: 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.
Negative: Beds a bit hard.
Summary: Prime elephant viewing spot
