Customer Service Non existent this time
So the last time I stayed here, I had to complain about a dog going absolutely ballistic in the room next to me. Poor thing was throwing itself at the door and howling. When I spoke to reception they advised that it was the Managers dog and he keeps it in a room when he's at work. Prior to this a car alarm was continually going off in the car park. That was the same dog before he got moved into a room. I even offered to have the dog in my room to keep it company. It was moved and sat at reception with a colleague.Anyway, I decided to give the hotel another go. After a 3 hour drive to my works office, all I wanted to do was have a hot bath and go to bed. Bath run but as soon as I was in it, it drained in a matter of seconds. I've emailed the hotel 3 times about this asking for a refund but have had no response. I did say I would be leaving a review if they didn't come back to me. Essentially I've paid for something I didn't get and as this is the 2nd time I've experienced issues feel I have to leave a review. No response to my complaint is unacceptable.

Unexpected delight
The Elephant Hotel was an unexpected delight - I was booked in as an overnight stop on the Thames Path National Trail. The room was really high quality - smart TV, leather sofa, high quality coffee and teas in the rooms. Plus a bath that was perfect after an 18 mile walk.

Very noisy room, we heard traffic all night. We asked for a room on a quiet location. Website says FREE PARKING. small parking was full. Park on the Village Hall parking where you have to pay. Toilet flushing was not okay. Breakfast service took a long time. Breakfast buffet would be easier and less complicated then your way of service.

One Night Stay for Business
To start with, I booked this hotel because I wanted to stay somewhere with character, I could have gone to the Hilton, Crown Plaza or Voco but I chose the Elephant over them and I think Pangbourne is a lovely place. It's an old building with a few creaks. Things that could improve is the noisy air-con unit outside by room above the kitchen, it wasn't too bad but once I noticed it, that was it. Great complimentary tea / shower products etc.

Character hotel. Cold room.
Nice hotel if you prefer less modern with more character which I do. Clean but some less than perfect finishes such as peeling paintwork. The heating in the room didn't seem to be working.

A characterful hotel, but not great for business
A nice stay at the Elephant Hotel and the surrounding area is beautiful. On arrival I managed to get parked in the small customer car park (not sure if there was another one anywhere, but it only held around eight cars). I attended reception to be told that my stay was on a room only basis ad would be charged another £12.50 per person if breakfast was required. Produced my invoice which showed B&B booked - not sure if this was a genuine error or if the hotel was trying it on. The receptionist kept saying that they can only go by what is on the system, which seemed a pre-rehearsed line, although she was very pleasant throughout. Reached my room which was lovely and an impressive super king size four-poster bed which was very comfortable and beautifully crisp and clean bed linen. However, the lock on the door was poor and there was an inch of play on the door which was not encouraging from a security perspective. There was also only one power and as I had a phone, camera and laptop to charge, this was somewhat inconvenient. If two of us had stayed as originally planned, this would have been impossible. Shower was ok and some lovely toiletries provided. Light to the right of the mirror flashed constantly. Nice selection of tea, coffee and water. Food in the restaurant was nice. Overall, a satisfactory stay, although I would suggest a little overpriced for the £102 paid (especially if breakfast not included as the hotel suggested).

Good location in delightful village with river meadows to walk in. Ideal also for stopover as near M4. Quirky hotel - African theme so all quite dark. Service was good and staff friendly. Restaurant specialises in steaks which were very good. Breakfast was served as opposed to a buffet (due to covid?).

Ok stay. Needs to try harder.
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.

Quirky Luxury
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.
