“No surprise it's recommended by the Rough Guide”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We arrived in the evening and Mari was there to greet us. We walked from the commercial port and with the Rough Guide Old Town map in hand, were able to find the Pink Elephant without any problems.
The room was on the ground level in the court yard. It was small but just as we had expected; full of character, clean and comfortable. It was well over 30C during the day and as you'd expect, rooms with no air conditioning are going to get a bit stuffy. To counter this, the room was equipped with a large stand mounted fan with sleep control. The windows also have mosquito netting in place so we were able to leave those open as well.
We had a private bathroom that was located just across the court yard. There was plenty of hot water and like the room, it was cleaned everyday.
The WiFi signal was strong and we were able to have a couple of Skype calls without any glitches. There's also a communal fridge which very thoughtfully Mari keeps stocked with some soft drinks which you can purchase on a honesty basis.
We also had the breakfast which we both enjoyed. This was served on the lower of the two terraces. The upper terrace has comfortable chairs where it's nice to kick back for a while in the early evening.

“a bit average”

This place was ok, but the rooms were not very clean. The fan was a small desk one, so not much air circulation, so the room was very hot and stuffy.

“Pink Elephant met all of our needs”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2010

The best part was our arrival, Maria was waiting for us with our room ready at 8am as we rolled in tired from an overnight ferry. The location is excellent and quiet. The breakfast was good. The only complaint is that the directions to find it were sketchy at best, and we found it mostly because we had a gps and were prepared with google maps.

“Lovely little pension in a great location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed one night in this authentic little pension. Location fabulous - in old town not far from shops etc. Room very basic - beds and basin. Shared bathroom and toilet. Unfortunately it was warm in the room so had to leave windows open - got very little sleep because of mosquitoes, dogs barking and aeroplanes overhead. My friends in another room had a fan so did not experience a lack of sleep. Be warned - make sure you have a fan in your room. Breakfast was basic.

“Flight cancelled, charged half of the entire stay.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2010
1
person found this review helpful

On our two week trip, the first interntional flight was cancelled and we had to reschedule our entire trip. I called 10 days before the reservation and she still wanted to charge half of the hotel charge. If I cancelled one or two days before hand I would understand, this just seemed dishonest.
