Poor Stay
Property is good for travellers with minimal expectations of stay... But those who are used to plush hotels should not roam around these kind of setups. Service persons and desk works well and very cooperative and food is also good. But rooms and in general infrastructure may not be comfortable. I won't call it shabby but can't call it crispy and clean too. I booked it as my situation needed the exact place to be stayed on.

This was a horrible experience. The place is very poorly maintained, and the staff have no etiquette or professionalism in dealing with customers. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

The location is perfect, walkable distance to the main road (National Highway 7). A few steps away from Laxman Jhula. Location wise it is perfect. Food is also reasonable and good. They have good options on their menu. The TT table is a fun addition. The terrace and the balconies are open all the time. You can simply sit and enjoy the view. Service is also impeccable, the staff are very kind and helpful. Cleanliness is maintained all the time and they are strict about it as well. Most importantly what makes this property the best is the view it offers. Clear and Instagram worthy view of River Ganga!. If you are a solo traveller like me, just go ahead and stay in this property.
