Positive: Location was spot on!! Next to the river and best view of elephants. Staff was very kind in guiding us through on many things. Good at the restaurant is delicious and tasty.
Negative: Rooms are not well maintained. In the night it is very difficult to move around with less lights and so many stone stairs. If by mistake you fall can cause fatal injuries.
Summary: Great location, best value for money!!

Positive: Elephants. Room size (Room 302) and bathroom good with particularly good hot and cold shower. Only 1 of 3 rooms in this side of the hotel which is mostly a large Function Room and cafe. Room 301 was the same, but Room 304 looked much smaller. We all looked onto the shared verandah (303 is a storage cupboard), which they set up a desk to take payments from anyone who wished to use it to see the elephants in the river! Pool area, bar and restaurant was very nice with good ambience and excellent food.
Negative: Constantly being asked for the upsell - touch an elephant, feed an elephant, climb on an elephant, asking for money for it. The fact that the elephants from the Orphanage over the road have been so commodified. We came here 6 years ago and just seeing them was good. Didn't like that the place is actually both hotels divided by the elephant river road and the new and old are strangely connected with many different levels and steps. River view room but verandah it looks through is taken over by other tourists, elephant handlers and staff 2 times a day for 4 hours total
Summary: Conflicted between the good and the bad

Positive: Such a beautiful spot on the river. The elephants come through at about 8.30-11am right past the hotel. Just outside our bedroom they were all there in the river being bathed and was amazing to sit on the balcony and watch them away from the crowds. Breakfast was amazing! The local guide Andrew told us about a local waterfall and his colleague even showed us where to go. Very helpful staff and an incredible spot
