The White Elephant Home

The communication from the staff prior to our arrival was wonderful and helpful. It gave us everything we needed to know to get to the White Elephant Home. When you arrive you get a quick description of the surrounding area. The room was neat, clean and in great condition. The staff there are very polite and helpful. We had a late departing flight, and they arranged for us to stay in the room for a small fee. We would not have been able to explore more of the city as the temperature was 90F/32C. I lost an item while in Chaing Mai. When we got home, they responded through Booking.com messaging to answer my question. It is quite close to a vibrant night market and you can see and experience the Chaing Mai Roti Man! We arranged for two tours directly through the hotel. We didn't like the all-day trip to Chaing Rai. Too much for one day. I would not recommend that tour or company. This is not a reflection on The White Elephant Home. The night tour of Dol Suthrep and Wat Umong they arranged is great. It is a paper brochure in the laminated booklet they provide you to choose options. Breakfast is good. There is both chilled and room temp mineral water available 24 hours. They also fill the kettle daily in the room. Bathroom is good. We had a nice sitting area in front of our room. The area is completely safe. I walked to the night market around 10PM and had no misgivings about doing so.

The location is perfect for those wanting calmness and remoteness while being so close to the city center. The room was very spacious with a private balcony. The bed is very large and the pillows were soft and comfortable. The hosts have given us information, recommendations and made us feel very welcome. Breakfast has both asian and western options- however we have no tried them because of the many dishes we ate at the street food night market close to the hotel (we do recommend it)

Upon arrival, staff were immediately very helpful. I felt as if they were my own family and wanted to help us as much as they could from telling us to leave our luggage so that they could help us bring it up the stairs, to delicious breakfast meals every morning. If you need to do laundry, the hotel is right next to a laundromat. Amazing temples and night market, as well as 7-11 nearby. The room itself was spacious and comforting. It was nice to come back home from a busy day out to a comfy bed and nice shower. Water bottle free every day. We told them we didn’t need room cleaning every day-they were very kind enough to always leave toilet paper and water outside our door without knocking-assuming they didn’t want to bother us. Room we booked has a nice balcony and mini fridge. There’s also toothbrushes and shower caps in bathroom. Just looking outside the room balcony to view the beautiful sky and surrounding nature was very calming. Will definitely come back again, such a beautiful stay. ❤️ Thank you again White Elephant Home!

Great and cozy family hotel located close to an important street in Chiang Mai and to the commercial area. The ladies from the reception were super kind and caring. They gave us a lot of excellent information regarding tours to the attractions close by. The excursions were just amazing. The rooms were big and comfortable, and the breakfast had different nice and good options. My family had a pleasent stay, definitely this place is highly recommended!

This is a little family run hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and tried to make you comfortable. The breakfast was plenty and was included in the price. The hotel is extremely well maintained. The room was large with sitting area and seperate room for sleeping. WiFi was working well.
