Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers an incredible view of the river and limestone mountains, perfect for those who appreciate nature. The staff is attentive and ready to assist, making the stay more pleasant. However, the rooms could benefit from some upgrades, and the music can be a bit loud in the evenings. Overall, it's a good place for a short getaway, especially if you enjoy beautiful views.
My stay at Elephant Crossing was quite the mixed bag. On one hand, I enjoyed the beautiful river view and some excellent service from Mr. Big, who helped arrange activities for us. However, we experienced significant issues with the hot water and noise from construction, which really affected our comfort during the stay. The location was great and the dining experience was enjoyable, but the disturbances left much to be desired.
While the hotel boasts stunning river views and a great breakfast, it unfortunately suffers from issues like noisy construction, outdated rooms, and lackluster service. For those who prioritize scenery over comfort, it might still be worth a stay, but be prepared for some inconveniences.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, mainly due to its excellent location with stunning views of the river and mountains. The room was nice and comfortable, although the bathroom could use some improvements. The service was good, but there were minor issues like mosquitoes in the room. Overall, it was a great experience and I appreciated the value for money.
The hotel has some great views from the rooms and is centrally located, making it easy to explore the town. However, the overall management seems lacking, as the rooms weren't as clean as they should be, and the staff seemed unmotivated. The noise from the river boats in the morning can be quite disturbing for a peaceful stay.
