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.

Great hotel at affordable price!
The breakfast was amazing, loved the beds and reception staff. The only issue was heater and hot water during our stay - the service was super slow. Otherwise, I really appreciate the cleanliness and well kept rooms. Thumbs up for great rooms at affordable prices!

Stay only as last resort.
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.

Hotel situato fuori dal caos più totale della città, quindi posizione ottimale. Alla reception c era un impiegato non troppo gentile. La colazione era solo di tipo indiano, quindi per noi impossibile mangiare qualche cosa. Nel complesso per un rapporto qualità/prezzo, niente male.

Awful...
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.
