It’s located outside main City but convenient and easily accessible. Daily morning breakfast is excellent with lots of variety. The staff is very helpful and polite. I would say very good value for money.

The toilet was extremely low and small and not enough water to flush. Bathroom amenities very small quantity not even for a day’s use. Staff was friendly but the food menu does not have any healthy options such as vegetables that are fresh and available in the market. Most food items come with added sugar. Nit sure what is the fascination of everywhere in India adding unnecessary sugar. This facility is not ideal for foreigners.

We had gone for a family holiday, booked 4 rooms. The Rooms were just not upto mark..Door chain not functioning, Mini fridge either absent or not working in some rooms. Hotel seemed short staffed. Toaster was malfunctioning, got repaired next day. Coffee Machine was not working. The sad part was the non responsive attitude of the front desk who made no attempt to rectify shortcomings. Basics like hand towels/Napkins had to be requested for each day. All in all not a value for money proposition. Its at best akin to a TWO star property at fancy prices.

Room was supposedly “done” being renovated but wasn’t painted and the floor was already popping up. It was incredibly dusty, dirty and noisy as well. Front desk staff was rude, poorly trained, and mostly incompetent. I had to fight not to be double-taxed at check-out on meal charges and given a hard time when I wanted to pay with a credit card. Travel desk was more interested in charging exhorbitant fees for transportation rather than providing quality service. He was really nasty too. $100 is a lot for a hotel room in India, and this hotel simply wasn’t worth it. Save your money and stay somewhere else. Two positives: the restaurant staff was mostly nice and the food was pretty good.

Two single women travellers: it was just an ok hotel. I wouldn’t rate it as a 3,5 stars though. The only good part of the hotel was its lobby. the rest seemed to be under construction and was smelly. The rooms smelled bad. Cleanliness was questionable as well. There was a food stain on the curtain in my room as if somebody wiped his hands after eating tikka masala. There was a dried green pea on the floor. The linens had stains. I understand that they were washed but seeing stains didn't make me feel comfortable. Sandra’s window looked on concrete wall so there was no day light coming in. The toilet paper roll had only 1,5m of paper. We had to ask for a new roll almost every day. I had a problem with WiFi every evening and had to go ask for a new password every day. The area was OK, quiet, next to another hotel. Some staff was a little nicer than others. Still it would have been OK if we haven’t had that incident. The incident was a person knocking and ringing persistently on one of the travellers doors at 3am. The guest was afraid to ring to the desk as the person would hear there was someone in the room. Finally after 30 minutes she decided to ring and then the knocking stopped. She couldn't sleep and the two checked out the next day in fear of their safety.
