Our room was full of cockroaches
After check-in, we were taken to a room that was full of cockroaches. We complained and refused to sleep in the room. Then we were taken to another room, but it was in such poor condition, and we also refused to sleep in because it wasn't worth the money we paid. We were then taken back to the original room, but they used doom to dispatch the cockroaches. The room smelled so much of doom that my husband slept with a blocked nose as a result of the doom odour. There was so much noise with loud music and the TV in the chilling room was also very loud. I didn't enjoy my stay and wished I could get a refund.

No bath soap? really?
It seemed everyone at front-desk didnt know anything about basic etiquette from attending to customers to not being available at the front for minutes on end or not answering the phone. Our towels were not replaced and when i asked i only got one towel. Then i asked about bath soap only to be told that no soap is provided. this is the first hotel where there is no bath soap provided that i have visited in the whole world.

Some what disappointing
The place is not exactly as advertised. Its delapitated and needs maintenance. The shower does not mix water, the water is either too hot or too cold. The drainage system is super slow. The pool is not 100% clean. Also the noise levels from the other side guests, self catering side partying until the morning, was very frustrating

The staff at Elephant springs are absolutely awesome! So friendly and helpful. The renovated rooms are very nice,the old rooms are not worth the money at all. But the staff did not hesitate to put us in a better room when we were not happy with the first two rooms. The hotel rooms could also do with mini bar fridges.

percy

We booked simply because we wanted to take the kids to warmbaths for the weekend and this was the closest. The other guests were loud at night the noise was unbearable even after calling reception to control the noise. This place is suitable for the younger generation who just want to have a rowdy group weekend away.
