Bravon Sky Hotel

8/10 Good

"Massive clean room. Bathroom should have a vanity or shelving to place toiletries. Need a towel rack by the sink."

Hotel Elephant Park

10/10 Excellent

"The elephants were great but we were not told about check in being after 3.00pm and early arrival would have to pay an entrance fee! To add to the confusion the hotel emailed me cancelling my 4 rooms at 2.00pm. When I contacted them, no apology just that it was a mistake!"
