Rebuilding!!!
Unfortunately, I can't review this hotel. We arrived and they were rebuilding beside and in front of the hotel. There was no parking as advertised. None of this is advertised obviously. After complaining, I was sent to their sister hotel, The Silver Naga, which was very nice. It is a shame hotels do things like this and not advise people.

Beautiful scenery. Kind of run down building. Very friendly staff. I want to be light hearted about this hotel because staff is very nice and has a good ambiance but this is just not for me due to construction, the quality of the rooms. I only went out on the balcony once due to what looked like a flurry of misquotes rushing in (yet they didn’t bite). I don’t really like to smells; not sure if it’s natural or chemical but bathroom and stairs area is really pungent. Keep in mind no elevator; after a late night drinking I had a hard time getting to my room. I’m not sure if the construction is building related but if it is they should have spent the money on renovations in my opinion. If you are a more tolerant to run down hotels then this place is good.

While the room had amazing views of the river, it was very small and had pretty much zero storage. The bathroom was dingy-looking and had a bit of an odour. The room only had one accessible plug (another one was by the light switch at the entrance but because of its height and location, wasn’t really usable) to plug in the kettle and personal electronics. The breakfast was decent and is served overlooking the river. We also had dinner here and it was inexpensive and good.

Great Stay
I stayed for three nights in room C-2, which had a balcony with an awesome view of the Nam Song River and the mountains. The room was small but sufficient for me as a solo traveler. I found the room to be clean, comfortable and quiet. The rooms probably could use a renovation and be updated, as a number of reviews for this hotel have noted, however, I found the rooms (I saw other rooms being cleaned or unoccupied with the doors open for airing) to be “rustic”. I especially liked the hardwood floors. Nice, friendly staff. Good buffet breakfast with eggs cooked to order. Great wifi in my room and at the hotel restaurant, which is located next to the river. You can walk to anywhere in town from this hotel. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

The Elephant Crossing Hotel is in a great location on the banks of the Nam Song river. My room had a comfortable balcony that overlooked the river. The room was clean, WIFI connection strong and consistent. The daily breakfast buffet consisting of fruits, cereals, omelets and Asian cuisine was quite enjoyable and served in the dining area overlooking the river. The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating.

Horrible
Not sure if it was a Hotels.com glitch or mine - anyhow we booked 2 different hotels for the same night. When we showed up to check in to Elephant Crossing - they said we had a no show yesterday. Nothing they can do now. My girlfriend was sick and we asked them to try to help us, as this was an obvious error in booking. Nope. Bye bye.
