Great hotel overlooking river where elephants bath
Other than a small stain on the wall and figuring out the A/C unit... everything was excellent with hotel. It is at a great location (overlooking river where elephants are bathed twice daily), the service (front desk, restaurant, housekeeper) were all excellent. We booked the room with the balcony overlooking the river (and this is highly recommended). You will definitely enjoy your stay at this hotel.

Great location right next to the river where the elephants bathe. However it is said that you receive free ticket into elephant park, however this is not completely true! We came early and were told we were not allowed to go down to the hotel early to check in without paying the ticket price because the elephants are bathing. So we had to either pay the ticket or wait until 4. Also the free ticket into the sanctuary is only for the bathing area you have to buy a new ticket to enter into the orphanage itself! Was a bit misleading!

Perfect hotel to see the elephants
I stayed here for one night. The location was fantastic, having prime access to the elephants. Room was new, clean and quiet. Breakfast was simple but delicious. There were 2 main downsides, firstly the check in/out times. 4pm check in and 12 check out. The reasoning is to access the area the hotel is in, you need a ticket (2500Rs) before 4. The second was a massage that the hotel insisted was part of the package. I requested for a female, only to have a male arrive after an hour waiting. He was unprofessional and I asked him to leave 3 times after feeling violated. Most of the staff were abruptly and unfriendly. I would still recommend this hotel due to the prime location. I wouldn't go into the orphanage if back again. I was able to feed the animals and chat to the trainers at the hotel without the thousands of people. Make sure you have smaller notes with you to tip however.

Great location & Staff
We stayed at this location in 2014 and were happy with the staff. The accommodations weren't the best, but were okay ... On this trip we were pleasantly surprised with the upgrade ... The remodeling of the rooms to a more up to date environment. We are so happy with this place and will continue to visit because of the perfect location and the incredible staff and accommodations!

Scenic
At 8.30 am Elephants are brought from orphanage nearby you bathe. They literally walk past hotel front door to water which has runs under your bedroom balcony. A magical experience. Bedrooms spacious but plastic mattress protectors made beds sweaty.

Elephant overlook
Perfect location on the Maha Oya river, directly above where the elephants are brought to bath and play. Be sure to take a room overlooking the river. The hotel staff are friendly and accommodating! Also, make a point to be on the balcony facing the river at sunset... and look up! There is a large colony of fruit bats that nest up river and at sunset they fly as a group into the forest to feed!

A hidden gem in, a must for elephant enthusiasts
Amazing view for a very fair price. The hotel offers premium housekeeping services and the food is great. But most importantly, you get to enjoy an amazing view of elephants bathing in the nearby river most of the day!

A life time experience.
We loved staying at the hotel, right in amongst the elephants. Watching them bathe in the river and so close to the elephant orphanage. Bottle feed two baby elephants.
