In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Central location on a main road — Guests repeatedly mention the convenience of being on the main road, making it easy to walk to local restaurants and attractions.
  • Breakfast with Indian and Western options — Multiple reviewers call the breakfast excellent, abundant, and sensational, with pastries, fruit, and eggs.
  • Spacious, recently refurbished rooms — Guests describe rooms as large, well-lit, and comfortable, with flat-screen TVs, safes, and climate control.
  • Efficient and friendly staff — Staff are consistently described as cooperative, efficient, and willing to help at any hour, including a memorable lost-earring recovery.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Mixed guest satisfaction overall — With an average rating of 6.2 out of 10, experiences vary. While many reviews are positive, a few rate the stay lower, suggesting inconsistency.
  • Some rooms show wear — One guest noted cigarette ash on a window sill, and another mentioned a wet bathroom floor. These details suggest housekeeping can be uneven.
  • Check-in window is limited to evening hours — Check-in is only available from 14:00 to 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late-night arrivals or early check-in requests.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.

“Breakfast was excellent with a good mix of Indian and Western dishes. The only small issue was the bathroom floor getting a bit wet, but overall it was a pleasant stay. The gated grounds felt secure and cosy. Definitely good value for money.”
