Would recommend without hesitation

We booked the family room which is very spacious and has everything one might need. The staff is wonderful, very helpful and welcoming. The surroundings are peaceful. Easy walking distance to the old city and the different markets.

There was not a single thing I disliked about the White Elephant Home. The grounds were enchanting, the hosts were welcoming and helpful. We utilized the laundry service and were very satisfied with the result. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The location is right outside the old city and very walkable. We loved the space and our entire stay. Treat yourself and experience a lovely location with beautiful people.

CHIANG MAI DECEMBER 2021

I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were wonderful. I really felt cared for.
Nice big room with super comfortable bed and nice balcony.
Breakfast was good also.
The hotel is really quiet and peaceful even though it’s just outside the old city and there are lots of places in walking distance for eating.
I would highly recommend this hotel.

Great staff, very clean!

A relaxing, clean oasis. Bathroom is basic in terms of amenities but everything so clean. The employees were wonderful and we enjoyed seeing them. Breakfast every morning was tasty and appreciated. Beds, room and balcony so comfortable. Would stay here again, location is very good.

Small boutique hotel with clean and big room size. The location is more better than I expected, the old city just around the corner. There are two local street food night market open till midnight is definitely a bonus to travelers.

Nice botique hotel near old town

Good location - close to the old town.

Very friendly and helpful staff.

Better if they can change the towels everyday.

Water pressure of the shower can be stronger, but seems the problem is common among other Thai hotels.

Ok but avoid villa if noise sensitive

We stay in the family villa. The inside is modern and comfortable. Yet, it's bit noisy for the motorbike sound as it's nearest to the road. Poor sleep for I'm sensitive to noise. It's better to choose the cheaper family room which is quieter inside. Not worth for the villa. Breakfast so so.

Excellent great find

We loved the white elephant home, the staff are all really helpful, room is large and comfortable. Breakfast was really nice. The hotel is small which gives it a very relaxed atmosphere. Location is very good just a 5 min walk away from the north gate of Chang mai center. This is also where the local bus service drops you off which we used to get to and from the airport for only 20 bat each.

Excellent hotel would recommend this to anyone going to Chang mai

Excellent choice

Excellent experience,very friendly personnel,always there to help,clean rooms with special care for visitors. Communication in englush was possible with most of the staff. The location is in a 10 min walking distance to the centre of the city while the room itself was very quiet. We would definitely stay there again

A lovely place, highly recommend

This is our second visit to Chiang Mai. This time my wife and I stayed in The White Elephant Home for two nights. The location is great, very close to old city, only several minutes’ walk. I prefer to stay outside the old city for quiet, clean and comfortable neighbourhood.

We booked a room for two and they upgraded us to a family room for three. The room is spacious, new and clean with a lovely balcony. The interior and exterior match the photos and description on the website. Breakfast is freshly cooked and is delicious. We enjoyed it in the lovely garden. The staffs are nice and helpful, they have friendly smiles all the time. They speak good English and provided useful information to us in buying Green bus ticket to Chiang Rai. I didn't drive this time but I saw them providing car covers to guests and helped to cover and to remove it.

Will definitely stay in The White Elephant Home again if we visit Chiang Mai again. Highly recommend!
