    hridyanshu s.loyalty-iconcouple

    Location was good, but it’s the property is not worth calling a hotel, it’s a Lodge. No amenities as mentioned, no house keeping. I stayed there for three days and they even refused to do room cleaning. Balcony even didn’t get a view or anything that they claim.

    The room was small but had good amenities and was located on the second floor without an elevator. If you have heavy luggage, it could be a challenge. The receptionist, Alex, was a friendly guy who provided helpful information about nearby hotels and places to visit.

    The location is perfect, the rooms are decent for the discounted price we got, but the service is not great. Not rude or anything, but there is hardly one person present at any given time. We had to wait for the person to come even to check in. I would say it's not an issue once you check in unless you need something like towels etc.

    Average Stay

    saptarshi m.

    The french villa was a moderate stay. The distance to beach is 3-5 mins walk only. The location of the hotel is very appropriate as all the cafeteria and restaurants are nearby or better to say in the same location only. The negative was the reluctant nature of the staff. I would say a little motivation is required there. Overall budget can be slightly low as there isn't much special about the rooms. No cupboard to keep clothes also. Average stay. Cost can be less.
