Hotel Sweet Home rates high on service and its splendid views of the Tallital lake area. It isn't too far from the Mall Road, and the climb up isn't too steep. The air is neat and tidy and while bazaar and road noises do creep in, it's not too loud to disturb your sleep. The people in the hotel are friendly and that's what is a draw, and also the fact there's a kitchen on the premises, should you want to have a quick meal here, instead of stepping out.
Alas, the rooms are another matter. The Silver Room I booked on MakeMyTrip.com was a den-like place with a small window overlooking the roof of a neighbouring building. Sure, the rooms are neat and tidy, and the washrooms have been renovated in recent years, there's a TV, a small closet, a table and a nightstand; but the space is cramped, dark during the day and certainly not recommended for long stays. I'm sure there're better and more expensive rooms on the upper floor, but I didn't see them. A bit annoying was the fact that the linen was resused from the previous guest(s). I managed to get the pillowcases changed. The bedsheet didn't look too bad, but the duvet cover felt limp and moist from previous use. It's lucky that I was staying overnight and just needed a peaceful night's sleep.
