宛如一座大花園，處處可見綠美化維護的用心，老闆親切熱心，床枕整齊清潔，柔軟度適中，唯一美中不足只有一間盥洗室，也只有一個洗手台，有些不方便
Pros:

熱情 貼心的老闆與方便的地點

Cons:

5人同住，只有一間衛浴設備，且衛浴沒有通風設備

Pros:

Gentillesse du personnel, petit jardin et grandeur de la villa pour 4 personnes.

Cons:

Le bruit la nuit avec la rue passante, le manque de point d'eau dans le séjour, le petit déjeuner très léger pour le format continental.

Will be glad to be back should i be in Chiangmai again!
Pros:

We received excellent service standards (very personalised touch e.g they remember our food preferences) from the staff at White Elephant. Room size were better than expected, toilet and shower was quite the norm. Love the resort concept of this place and the laundrette accessibility just 30 metres away!

Cons:

Lighting may be abit dimmer for our preference.

Exceptional lodging in Chiang Mai
Pros:

Room and bed were perfect, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. Staff could not have been more professional and helpful in any way. I would come back in a heartbeat. 10/10!

Pros:

Отличный небольшой отель. Встретили тепло, по домашнему. Отличное расположение: не далеко от старого города, но в то же время тихое место. Вкусный завтрак, хотя порцие небольшие. Очень чисто и зелено ! Все создано с любовью. Рядом так же хороший сервис по аренде мотоциклов.

Cons:

Небольшие порции на завтрак))) чаще всего в путешествиях 2х разовое питание. И нам недостаточно было утренней порции. Но это никак не уменьшает оценку места

Great accommodations near old Chiang Mai. Don't miss staying here.
Pros:

This was our second time staying at the White Elephant Home and we would gladly stay there again. First, it is easy to reach from the airport. If you chose a taxi which we did on our first stay super easy, if you drive it isn't bad. It helps reviewing the route on map first. Rooms are very comfortable. We have stayed in two room types. This time was more traditional hotel room layout. We had a nice view of the parking/courtyard area. The staff are wonderful, same from last visit. That should tell you something. The business has a laundry located at the entrance. Laundry is inexpensive and with a fast turnaround. Multiple breakfast options prepared quickly and delicious. Neighborhood is safe and easy to walk if you want. Less than five minutes to walk to the Chang Phuak Night Market. Air conditioning is fabulous. We were there when it was over 90F/32C the AC kept it comfortable.

Cons:

I don't know, they could have let us stay free of charge! :) As I said it's wonderful.

Parfait. A quelques pas de la vieille ville. Calme et extrêmement confortable. Rapport qualité prix incroyable
Pros:

Tout. Les chambres spacieuses et bien aménagées. Le confort de la literie. La gentillesse et les attentions du personnel. La qualité du petit déjeuner et du service laundry. Le fait qu ils aient gardé nos valises lors d un séjour de deux nuits en dehors de leur hôtel

Cons:

Rien
