Elephant Hotel

Really appreciated being able to change rooms when we found we were in a front room which was close to the main road and very noisy.

Like stepping back into the time of the Raj. Comfortable and clean. Old building but brought up to a modern standard. Parking for free directly outside.

Nice privately owned hotel and bar. Room was nice but a little dated and in need of some decoration. Perfectly acceptable at perhaps a slighly lower price point. The main issue for me was the lack of staff interaction from reception through to tge breakfast team. No interest in how we slept, no nice good morning and the service at breakfast was disconnected. No instruction on whats available, no offer of sauces etc. Its a shame because its a quirky hotel and you would imagine that service could be an area they excel in compared to chain hotels. Also beware parking is limited so we used the car park next door. Good location in pangbourne and quality items served at breakfast. However ai would recommend a thorough clean under the till counter. Not the best sight whilst eating. Would i stay again, maybe but only if it was substantially cheaper than the 120 pounds we paid. Shame could be really good as public spaces are really comfortable.

Very nice hotel small problem with radiator not been able to turn off, reported it they sent a guy straight up could turn it off so offered us another room. Rooms very nice n very clean bathrooms r getting a little tiered but over all good 👍 Breakfast great

The Elephant's slogan is "Quirky Luxury," and my husband and I found that to be a keynote as we stayed here for one night while walking the Thames Path. From the nearly life-size elephant sculpture outside made of scavenged metal objects to the airplane-wing furniture in the bar and lobby, quirkiness is definitely on display. And the luxury was present as well—a big, comfy bed; good-quality toiletries; a well-stocked tea tray; and, best of all, lots of regular and USB outlets to charge all of our devices.
