Wir waren nur wegen des Moto GP Wochenendes in dieser Gegend. Das Hotel hat uns gut gefallen. Alles sauber und ordentlich, mit einem schönen gepflegten Garten. Frühstück wurde nicht angeboten. Man konnte sich aber morgens selbst Kaffee und Toast machen. Die Damen des Hauses waren alle sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Managerin hat uns sogar eine private Fahrerin besorgt, die uns 2 Tage nach BuriRam gefahren hat. Wir hatten einen wirklich schönen Aufenthalt und würden dieses Hotel auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen

Chambre pas préparé et remplis de moustiques. Personne horrible à l’accueil. Chambre pas réservé et attendu 1h avant de l’avoir après avoir insisté. Obligé de partir avant 12h alors que c’est 13h le cheek out. Pas de produit de toilettes. Clim qui s’arrête plusieurs fois dans la nuit. Impossible de dormir. Plus jamais ça.

A secret gem

It was a small 12 room family run hotel. It was in a lovely setting and so quiet. The two ladies that ran it where so helpful. The room was spotless breakfast was great I had Thai breakfast but was offered American style. And good value 👍

มาพักครั้งแรก

เป็นที่พักเล็กๆ ที่สะอาด น่าอยู่ เหมาะสำหรับครอบครัวมาพัก แต่ไม่สามารถรองรับคนมากๆ ที่จองรถมีน้อยประมาณ 10 คันและติดทางสาธารณะ แต่ถ้าจะใช้รถสาธารณะคงไม่สะดวก ห้องอาหารมีแต่ปิดบริการ ตอนจองบอกมีอาหารเช้า แต่จริงๆมีแค่ ชา กาแฟ น้ำร้อน กับแก้วสวยๆ สภาพห้องตกแต่งไว้น่ารักดี ไม่มีบริการยกสัมภาระ มาพักจงอย่ามีของมามาก พนักงานมีไม่มาก ส่วนใหญ่ดี การจองห้อง ควรเตรียมเอกสารที่เกี่ยวข้องให้พร้อม เพราะระบบของที่พักไม่ดีพอ ถ้าใช้ GPS ให้ใช้ชื่อภาษาอังกฤษ ชื่อภาษาไทยหาไม่พบ

Well kept, cozy and comfy.

Centrally located, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean the White Elephant is a very comfortable stay. The staff is sweet and everything works, probably because of the Danish owner. We had made reservations on Hotels.com but when we got there the front desk told us they were sold out and they tried to put us at a lesser hotel around the corner. Ultimately they found us a room at the White Elephant but it was an inconvenient dance. Aside from that I have to say the hotel is very nice and shows a lot of decorative touches that give it a lot of character. Very good value.

The Hotel itself is nothing to complain about in its relation to the rates that apply. It is a well kept and well maintained place with an awesome garden. The rooms are very small and appliances rather basic - clean though and for the purpose of providing a place to sleep comfortable enough. Still I ˋd recommend to stay to the comditions as advertised or to update them beforehand ! There is NO pool any more as shown on one of the facilitiesˋ pictures, check-out time was declared to be 12:00 the same day (advertised as 13:00) and breakfast was not included (other than announced) and charged on check-out , both without prior information. The staff is very friendly and so is the owner , a Danish guy who we met the first day and unfortunately never again thereafter. The real boss - his Thai wife (foreigners are not eligible to own enterprises in Thailand) - though is the extreme opposite ! First she disturbed a couple times by knocking on our door (early in the morning) for strange reasons but most of all she started first insinnuating my Thai fiancée accusing her not having ordered breakfast properly and finally me when I complained about not staying to their published conditions at check-out. I have been to Thailand by far more than 20 times now but never had to face such an annoying and unacceptable behavior. She was shouting, using cosswords and got personal - unbelievable, especially when considering to be customers and absolutely uncommon to general Thai behavior !

A great find.

What a great find this was. We tried to book into a previous hotel that we had stayed in but it was full and then we found The White Elephant Resort, this is now my first choice when staying in Surin, which we do twice a year. Amazing rooms, so nicely decorated, very good A/C, hot water and good Wifi. The garden is just beautiful and a very nice Thai BBQ chicken restaurant on the main road, left at the lights.....see you again.
