Both beds were comfortable when you laid on them; one had bed bugs which we didnt sleep on. Room 104 smelled terrible, even after the staff "cleaned" the room again. When we complained to the manager, he said he didnt smell anything wrong. The hotel agreed to change our rooms the, then changed their minds, then gave me the key after I insisted they do so (long protracted argument) . Room 103 was ok, but staff and drivers were outside the window below making noise until 2 am. Upon seeing breakfast, we did not eat. Riverside rooms are best, room 101 was ok, you can open the window and air it out. My advice is to avoid this "hotel" completely! The only thing there are tacky, expensive shops & the elephant park. The nastiest place we have seen thus far. Avoid this: take a day trip if you want, we chose not to support the elephant park and left earlier than planned. Having travelled to all continents except Antarctica, this is the worst placed I have ever stumbled across...including hostels of India.

Отличный отель для тех кто хочет насладиться утренним купанием слонов. Персонал был очень дружелюбен. Возникла 10-минутная заминка при регистрации, потеряли уже оплаченную бронь. Но в итоге персонал разобрался и нам выделили самый лучший номер в отеле с Супербалконом и Супервидом на реку. Вечером в отеле спокойно, для релаксации идеально. Ужин и завтрак были вкусными.

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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 9 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Elephants!!

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! ##### Taylor Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Ray, Rye Victoria 29 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Surprisingly good stat Located so close to the river and elephants renovated rooms good menu well maintained. ##### Ray Stayed 1 night in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Schönes Hotel direkt am Fluss wo die Elefanten bad Morgens beim Frühstück den Elefanten beim baden zu Sehen ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### matt, london 25 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best kept secret This hotel is far superior to its rating and should be redone, only stayed one night as touring but it had the best shower of all and a good night sleep and a breakfast feature that is proberbly one of the best in the world ##### matt Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Yoshihiko, Kyoto 4 Jul 2017 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### リバービューの部屋の予約をお勧めします かなり前から、ゾウの水浴びを見られる部屋をリクエストして予約しました。 宿泊は、午後4時からのチェックインを厳しく運用してるようで、チェックインするまでにずいぶん待たされ、近くのレストランでビールやコーラをを飲んで過ごしました。 近辺のホテルでは、ゾウの水浴びを見るには一番ロケーションが良く、部屋のバルコニーからゾウの水浴びの様子を眺めたり、写真を撮って過ごすことができ、楽しく時間を過ごせました。 室内はやや狭いものの、よく効くエアコン、テレビ、ミニバー、冷蔵庫があり快適に過ごすことができました。シャワールームはアメニティもシャンプー、コンディショナー、ボディローション、石鹸と一揃いあります。 朝食は１階のレストランで、フルーツ、卵料理、薄いトースト、紅茶かコーヒーの簡単な食事ですが、こちらからも早く水浴びに来ているゾウを見ることができました。 ホテル宿泊者はゾウの水浴びは無料で見られますが、ゾウの孤児院は有料となります。 ##### Yoshihiko Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### chelsea , australia 25 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### 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. ##### chelsea ### 10/10 Excellent #### Phillip 21 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Location amazing Fantastic location,friendly staff,limited menu,nothing to do in the area after 17,30 We would stay at this hotel again ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s506-p5a235b40-f81f-11e6-81c2-9ac011b92c68-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Phillip ### 10/10 Excellent #### WAN CHI 10 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Perfect location for seeing the bathing elephants! ##### WAN CHI ### 10/10 Excellent #### Selma 26 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Rent hotell med bästa läget i Pinnawala Varmt mottagande på hotellet och trevlig personal.

Had a few minors but overall great hotel. ##### nigel ### 8/10 Good #### Adam 3 Oct 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1291-p6f84a9d0-896b-11e6-8476-2a1f32291a43-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1103-pa7de79a0-896b-11e6-8476-2a1f32291a43-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Adam ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 9 May 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 象の孤児院を訪問するのには立地的に良いがホテルの周りにレストランなどなく、ホテルのレストランは現地価格に対して非常に高い。 部屋のテレビは故障しており、ホテルのスタッフへ確認をしても対応はして貰えませんでした。 ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Gregory 18 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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! ##### Gregory ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia, Augsburg 20 Feb 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best ausgestattetes Hotel in Sri Lanka Alle Tage konnte man hautnah die Elefanten an unserem Hotel vorbeilaufen sehn. Das war sehr beeindruckend. Frühstücken und dabei Elefanten beim baden zusehen. Klasse. ##### Claudia ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Heritage Line Ylang Cruise – Ha Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ha-Long-Hotels-Heritage-Line-Ylang-Cruise.h42710340.Hotel-Information) > > [Two bedroom air conditioned apartment on the Pine Walk.
