    For solo female travellers

    shivi t.loyalty-iconsolo

    The property is good but if you are a female solo traveller there is not much personal space you get. I booked a single room and had to be there most of the time at hotel because the common room was being used by a group of boys for loud music drinks and such and no one checked. It was really inconvenient that i couldn't use the amenities even though they were there. Most staff i found really great and helpful except one manager. Not taking names for a reason. Want to mention the good works of staff like a boy aditya, really helped for even the smallest requests.

    A surreal experience

    indranil s.family

    I had an absolutely wonderful stay! everything was simply fantastic, and i couldn't have asked for a better experience. The manager at the hotel was incredibly friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure that all guests felt welcomed and comfortable. One of the highlights of my stay was the hotel's organized evening and night walks. These activities were truly remarkable and added an extra touch of magic to my trip. It was amazing to explore the surrounding areas during those tranquil hours, guided by knowledgeable staff who shared fascinating insights and stories along the way. The walks allowed me to connect with nature and immerse myself in the beauty of the surroundings, creating lasting memories that i will cherish.

    Location was good, property is nice but cleanliness was an issue. The pillow covers, pillows and quilt covers were dirty. Lots of moisture marks like fungus etc. Food taste was inconsistent - many times food was an issue.
