Guest Reviews

• Евгений Лазарев (10/5): - Отличный недорогой отель, рекомендую!
• Gisbrecht (9/5): -
• Eleanor (10/5): -
• Bailey (10/5): -
• Litvinov (7/5): -
• Yurany (5/5): Fair value for what you get. - The room was spacious with plenty of natural light, and the staff was very friendly and always attentive to any request. Although smoking is allowed on the balconies, they are very close to each other between rooms, so it often feels like someone is smoking inside your room, which can be uncomfortable. The bathroom is a bit old, and when you flush, it makes strange “gurgling” noises.
• Jay (10/5): -
• Garrett (8/5): Nice, for a very low price and a close walk to beachfront dining and shopping venues. - Convenient location, friendly staff, accomodating of an early check in, and clean room with mostly functional equipment. The toilet needs to be properly screwed down at the wax gasket to stabilize the entire commode. There didn't appear to be the requisite screws to do that; so a little more plumber's time might be in order, but it was clean and functional; if a bit wobbly.
• Olga (9/5): - Suitable for the price, clean, amazing location
• Ryan (10/5): - Clean spacious room with balcony in a quiet area. Launderette next door. Friendly staff. Nothing
• Randeep (10/5): - So.peaceful ,clean and helpful
• Jari (6/5): -
• Sergey (10/5): I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It’s located in a quiet area of Kata, about a 15-minute walk from the beach, whi -
• Pavel (9/5): -
• Roland (6/5): Ok for the money. - having a balcony. the view from the balcony was just a sea of solar panels. The bed was a bit lumpy. The aircon, combined with the fridge, and the wind howling under the front door, was rather loud. The hotel was a bit hard to locate. The entrance was hidden behind a bush, up a driveway.
• Niklas (8/5): Kleines Hotel zum kleinen Preis - Kleines aber feines Hotel, Preisleistung ist Top, kein Luxus aber das wird für den Preis ja wohl auch niemand erwarten.Sehr freundlicher Rezeptionist der sehr gut Englisch spricht und hilfsbereit ist. Alle Putz Kräfte auch Super freundlich...gerne wieder... 1 Fisch alleine im Mini Becken vor dem Hotel, ist in Thailand aber wohl normal.....
• Sam (9/5): - Brilliant value for money. Staff went out there way to help. Highly recommend. Brilliant staff Cleaned daily Within walking range of beaches and good places to eat
• Alicia (10/5): amazing - we were moved from this original property to the blanc bungalows because of overbooking. The bungalows are absolutely stunning. same resort, second location. A little bit more money, well worth it You get your own little shaded pool to relax at after a long day at the beach or traveling. The rooms were spacious and beautiful. Yes there’s quite a walk to the beach, but it’s 15 minutes. It’s not that bad. nothing, this resort is stunning. I was in room 8

• Santiago Leira (8/5): - Se encontraba a 10 minutos caminando de la calle principal / costanera. Tenia un laundry al lado. Tiene un local para alquilar motos a la vuelta. La habitacion se encontraba en un segundo piso por escalera.
• Maria (4/5): -
• Diana (3/5): - Lokalita bola celkom dobrá. Všetko takmer po ruke Veľmi slabé wifi ale najhoršie na Tom bolo že dvere netešili a strašné prefukovalo v noci sa nedalo spať. Prvé 2 dní sme nespali vôbec a ďalšie dni manžel do dverí zatváral deky aby nebol prievan a potom to už bolo fajn.
• Eleni (10/5): -
• Jari (8/5): - The accommodation was clean and worked well for me. However, the toilet tap did not come out properly, it would require a little maintenance. I would stay again so it was quite good value for money. Theres no elevator so be sure you can climb the stairs if you stay on 3rd floor.
• Κατερίνα (1/5): - Το μόνο θετικό ήταν ότι ήταν σε κοντινή απόσταση από την αγορά Αρχικά επικρατούσε χάος σχετικά με τις κρατήσεις. Φτάσαμε στη ρεσεψιόν και ήταν μία κοπελίτσα η οποία δεν ήξερε να συνεννοηθεί. Μας έβαλε να μιλήσουμε με μία κυρία η οποία ήταν υπεύθυνη και για τα μπανγκαλοου αλλά ουσιαστικά ήταν μόνο εκεί γιατί τα δωμάτια τα είχαν ξεχασμένα. Αφού κάναμε μισή ώρα μέχρι να συνεννοηθούμε για το που είμαστε τελικά μας έβαλε σε ένα δωμάτιο το οποίο δεν είχε ούτε σαμπουάν ούτε αφρολουτρο, ούτε πετσέτες για μαλλιά ή για πρόσωπο μόνο δύο πετσέτες σώματος. Επιπλέον ήταν όλα παλιά και χαλασμένα, από πρίζες μέχρι καπάκι τουαλέτας και πόρτες.Τα σεντόνια δεν μύριζαν καθαριότητα και στο δωμάτιο υπήρχαν παντού μυρμήγκια. Αφού ενημέρωσα την κυρία που μας έβαλε στο δωμάτιο για όσα λείπουν μου είπε πως θα το φροντίσει και τελικά η κοπέλα που έμπαινε υποτίθεται να καθαρίσει κάθε πρωί το μόνο που έκανε ήταν να στρώνει τα ίδια σεντόνια και να παίρνει τα σκουπίδια του μπάνιου. Τα μυρμήγκια ήταν μέχρι και μέσα στο ψυγείο μέχρι να φύγουμε, δεν μας έφεραν ποτέ πετσέτες για μαλλιά ή πρόσωπο και τελικά χαρτί υγείας αγοράσαμε μόνοι μας εφόσον δεν αντικατέστησαν αυτό που τελείωσε. Τέλος δεν έπιανε ούτε το wifi και δυστυχώς η γειτονιά που ήταν το δωμάτιο είχε μασάζ που δεν ήταν μόνο μασάζ ενώ εμείς υποτίθεται κλείσαμε να μείνουμε Κάτα για να αποφύγουμε τον σεξοτουρισμο. Ευγενική η κυρία με χαμόγελο αλλά δυστυχώς απογοήτευση όλο το υπόλοιπο.
• Alena (5/5): В целом для такой цены было удовлетворительно, смущали только темнота и состояние ванной - чистые полы, регулярная уборка, большой шкаф, чайник с чашками, вайфай и кондиционер. Расположение комфортное, персонал редко попадался на глаза (администратор на месте не сидел), но был приветливым. странный запах в комнате, очень темно, старая пожелтевшая ванна, мутное зеркало, темное постельное белье (это сразу сомнения в чистоте).
• Mee Ling (6/5): -
• Nuno (8/5): -
• gianluca laneri (9/5): -
• Guilherme (7/5): - Localização é boa e é bem barato Chuveiro somente gelado. Criança trabalhando na recepção, não tinham informações claras. Não tinha tomadas perto da cama.
• Ivan Mark (7/5): Overall good value for money - Daily room service, confortable beds, good location (but hard to find) Bad water pressure
• Emil (4/5): - Clean Das Apartment ist im Preis Leistungs Verhältnis leider nicht sehr gut. Für einen ähnlichen Preis bekommt man auch ein Zimmer in einem richtigen Hotel. Das Gebäude hier ist sehr heruntergekommen und es fühlt sich so an als ob sich nicht sehr darum gekümmert wird. Punkte die mir negativ aufgefallen sind: Der Wasserheizer ist kaputt Der Duschvorhang ist kaputt Der Kühlschrank ist kaputt Ich musste selbst nach Klopapier fragen Rezeption ist sehr selten besetzt In der Früh ist es laut wegen der Werkstatt neben an. Die Besitzerin ist nicht verständnisvoll Wer hier nur die Nacht verbringt und nicht viel braucht, ist hier aber trotzdem ganz gut aufgehoben.
• Olga (7/5): The hotel is old, but for the price it's good enough to come and sleep, spend all the time outside , - Perfect location, close to the beach, stores, wonderful choice of street food Could be slightly renewed.
• Mark (7/5): Ideal for just getting your head down,but if you want privacy it isn’t here - Clean,tucked away from busy area,but close enough to access all. No privacy from balconies,used phone hotspot with ais as better than wifi.
• Grigoriy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kasia (8/5): Nice hotel for one or couple nights - I liked how quiet the room was, far away from motorcycles and Main Street. I got a proper sleep there. Great value for money
• Lee-ann (1/5): Expensive dump - Absolutely nothing good can be said. Over priced room ! For a room that made me depressed. Couldn’t open curtains due to seeing straight in to neighbours balcony. Our balcony was a wooden door that only just fit two chairs on. Light fixtures hung out of walls exposing wires. Blanket on bed didn’t fit the bed was too small. Really old furnishings. Every time I asked the cleaners for spare toilet roll or a pillow .. they didn’t speak English. No pool yet in pictures they advertise one. This room should have been no more then £10 a night not £50!
• Jonathan (3/5): Liveable but not very clean and water heater scalds you - Decent location, decent price, hangers to hang things, good air conditioning Not very clean, water heater did not work very well (cold to scalding hot, no in between), unpleasant smell outside room, toilet had an unpleasant smell
• Daniel (8/5): Very good - I stay on this place regularly while on Kata Beach. The location is good, clean and if available I always book this place. The internet speed is very poor this time. Wifi signal is not reaching third floor, so until you stay at the basement you will not able to connect.
• Hannah (10/5): Wonderful stay - thank you - Lovely spacious room with balcony and nice shower. Room was cleaned daily
• Balthazar (1/5): Bad - Nothing Its nothing like the add pictures completely different thing and horrible communication from staff. Do not
• Anna (4/5): Disappointing - Clean, cheap, quiet. The apartments are located quite far from the beach, as there is no direct road, you have to go around a large hotel On the last day, the owner started knocking on the door and demanding check-out at 11:30, although the booking stated check-out at 12. 30 minutes didn't matter, but the impolite attitude spoiled the whole experience of staying in this place.
• Jimmy (8/5): Very good - Great location. A few minutes walk to the main road and about 15 min walk to kata beach. In a small street so no traffic noise at night. There are 2 with similar names. Be careful to make sure you go to the correct place.
• Jesper (8/5): Very good - close to the beach quiet area
• Sophie (8/5): Very good -
• Emerson (6/5): Pleasant -
• Hawtrey-collier (9/5): Superb -
• Yulia (7/5): Good - Location, restaurants, shops and massages.Cleaning every day. Walking to the beach 20 min, WiFi bad, pillows bad
• Harry (10/5): Wonderful stay at Ban Elephant Blanc Apartments. Highly recommended! - Had an amazing stay, the property is well maintained, clean and tidy and all facilities were of a high standard. Located a short walk from Kata beach, close to all the restaurants and shops but off of the busy high street. The owner and staff were friendly and took care of everything efficiently, I would definitely recommend this place and will book again for sure! Thank you
• Will (9/5): Host was amazing! - when we arrived, it was a little tricky to find but not hard. unpacked etc, and settled in. out for meal etc and went to bed. had everything we needed. spoke to the host about our issues, (see what we didn't like), paid a little extra and we're moved to another site with bungalows and a pool. so peaceful and hidden away but ten minutes walk and in the town for restaurant etc, 20 minutes walk and at the beach. 7am the first morning, building project next door started banging shouting then a little metal workshop started around 8.30. spoke to host and issues resolved, (see what did you like)
• Daniel (9/5): Great place for long-term in Kata - Very good location, in the quiet part of Kata, clean rooms, near everything you need (7Eleven, laundry, restaurant). 100Mbps internet connection. Stayed here for almost two months. As frequent visitor to Kata, when I come here again. I will definitely stay here again. There's a confusion about the apartments location. The correct location is just behind Ozone Condotel (or Thai Thai restaurant). The shower pressure might be a little bid better.
• Gustavo (8/5): Good for the value - Silent, big room, good AC. Nothing
• Asim (6/5): Pleasant - Clean room, I went to the wrong location at first and the manager drove me at night to the right one. Which was super nice
• Wayne (9/5): One night turned seven nights. - Location. Staff Nothing to dislike really
• Dmitrii (1/5): Communication issues, unreliable WiFi, inconvenient location, poor value for money - The hotel is alright if you don't expect much and just need a bed, shower, and mini bar. But everything else was disappointing. Take a close look at my full review for more details. The worst aspect was the communication of the host. Initially, our booking was from the 5th to the 10th. When we discovered there was no WiFi in the room and asked for a room change, she stated that this issue was present in all rooms and suggested working outside. Working outside during the day was uncomfortable due to the heat, and in the evening/night, there were mosquitoes. Consequently, we decided to change the booking and reduce it by 2 nights. I made the change request on the evening of the 5th, adjusting it to the 5th to the 8th. The host acknowledged this, but later claimed she was waiting for a call from Booking.com. Despite my inquiries, she denied the change request, stating it had been confirmed. I contacted Booking.com support, but there was no quick solution. It seemed that we'll have to stay in this hotel, so we kind of accepted that and stopped thinking of alternatives. On the 8th, I checked the situation in the morning just in case, but there was no change with the booking. When we returned from the beach around 12:00, the host informed us that she had approved our request and we had to check out by 12:00. However, the booking hadn't been updated until around 12:20. Consequently, we had to rush to find another place, which was almost impossible due to the high season. I was super annoyed and stressed, and even had a bike accident, though this wasn't directly the fault of the hotel manager. However, if she had accepted our request at least on the 6th or 7th, I wouldn't have had to urgently search for another option. Additionally, they didn't provide drinking water every day like other hotels. When I asked for water on the second day, the manager's response was dismissive, stating, "If you drink too much, buy water in the supermarket." Overall, this was a relatively cheap hotel, so I didn't have high expectations.
• Daniel (9/5): Superb -
• Olivér (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jan (7/5): Simple standard but clean. Good value for money - The lady who was the owner was very friendly and helpfull The information of how to check in could have been better. You must call the owner to make sure she's there.
• Natalia (8/5): Very good - Location around 15 mins walk to Kata beach, close to great coffee shops and restaurants. Not much common spaces and a pool would be a great addition here!
• Kiron (7/5): Good -
• Selena (8/5): Very good - Good location near Kata. Owner was very friendly and keeps it very clean.
• Francisco (8/5): Very good -
• Katalin (8/5): it was a nice, calm stay - it’s silent and people who work at the hotel are extremely nice and helpful. l felt relaxed there.
• Kerstin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anna (2/5): Very poor - Nothing to like really... good if you only spend one night like we did but not for longer stay Not very clean, old worn down furniture, extremly hard bed. Very loud, you can hear every sound from others
• Tatiana (8/5): Very good - Nice cozy place away from noizy main street. Rooms are small and quite ascetic with asian style bathroom but all necessary things available and functional: air conditioner, shower with hot water, safety deposit box. The host has just bought electric kettles for the rooms. Nit (the host) is very welcoming, helpful and efficient: she's never forgotten anything we asked and done all the best. One thing is quite illustrative: we had a toilet bowl which was not fixed to the floor and swaying a bit. We have not asked to fix it, but after the room cleaning when we were away for a day tour it was fixed. Near to the place there is a couple of very good restaurants with Thai and European cuisine. Pretty good choise for such price in my opinion. The only serious pain about the place is wifi. It is very slow and quite hard to use for anything more resource comsuming than messaging. Of course it is not a problem if you have a local sim card which is quite cheap and accessible. Another thing is that the hotel is hard to find on maps. On google maps it is called Ban l'Elephant Blanc and of course is not found when you type without l'. But you would definitly find Ban Elephant Blanc Bungalows which has the same host but is located on the next side street. We got confused by it and arrived first to the bungalows. Not sure if we could find the right place by ourselves, but the host took us there by car (many thanks to her for that!)
• Matteo (6/5): Pleasant -
• Andra (6/5): Pleasant -
• Sarah (7/5): Good -
• Wright (8/5): Very good - Clean and spacious. Good shower. Very nice staff. It was good.
• Rain (10/5): The lady who owns it is the best! she made our stay perfect and she was very helpfull - nice and comfortable close by the beach
• Yao (8/5): Very good -
• Anna (6/5): Be careful with location - The administrator came by car to get my husband when he came to a wrong address. There seems to be some confusion between Ban Elephant Blanc Apartment and Bungalows, as Google led my husband (he stayed in the hotel) to a wrong address. The room was okay, though not very big. Among the minuses were missing toiletries (no shower gel, shampoo or even soap) and garbage left in the garbage bin! It seems as if they didn't clean the room properly before the guest's arrival!
• Oleg (10/5): Exceptional - Sweetest hostess! Very sympathetic woman with a cute dog :)The room is small and cozy. Convenient location, open access to the hotel. Unfortunately, the lamp above the bed did not work. There is no kettle in the room.
• Davide (10/5): Exceptional -
