Clean, large, and well equipped with a comfortable bed. The breakfast is very good and the staff is very helpful. The front desk staff quickly arranged a comfortable car with a safe and accommodating driver to go around the city for 15 hours for a reasonable rate.

This hotel was very good comparable to other 4/5-star hotels in the area with a much better price. Staff were always courteous and helpful. Restaurants and food variety was excellent. Poolside restaurant had a great selection of American cuisine. Breakfast buffet was great. Provision of free water bottles everyday and minor details like weighing machine in room is a boon for foreign visitors.

Food was good. Housekeeping staffs did a good job. Rooms were spacious. However, the carpet in the walkway needs to be changed due to the unpleasant smell. Bathroom tiles were slippery therefore a potential hazard.

For the week we stayed, the facilites were as advertised, with very helpful staff who acted very efficiently on requests we made. The hotel was clean with easy access via local transport to areas of interest. Like to thank Rohit (and night shift staff) at the front desk for their willing assistance. The kitchen staff were also very helpful. The young housekeeper Prem was very efficient and caring. We would definately use this hotel and recommend it to the others. Harish and Nirmala
