“A lovely hotel with its own unique character and charm. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and we enjoyed our stay overall. However, a few areas could do with some improvement and updating. Despite that, it was a pleasant experience and we would happily stay here again.”
“Nothing fancy, but all I wanted was a clean comfortable bed and a decent shower. Not to everyones taste if you like fancy decor. Evidence of work being done to improve things, and small tweaks could make it easier on the eye. Service was excellent, nice to see a real person for a change. Very helpful and considerate to my needs as an ambulant disabled guest. I will be back.”
“We would like to sincerely share our experience during our stay at this hotel. From the very beginning, the manager, Mr. Kumar, welcomed us with great warmth and professionalism. He was extremely polite and helpful, and kindly assisted us in changing our room due to my wife’s pregnancy, which we deeply appreciated. During our stay, my wife unfortunately misplaced her wedding ring within the hotel. Mr. Kumar went above and beyond to assist us and, with great effort, successfully located it and returned it to us the following day. We are truly grateful for his dedication and support, as this meant a great deal to us. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Kaushal for his kindness, professionalism, and exceptional service. His attitude made our stay much more comfortable and reassuring. We highly recommend this hotel and sincerely appreciate the outstanding hospitality we received”
