Pros:

Wonderful heritage place with nice staff and heavy touch of tamil culture and tradition. Extremely spacious room and comfy bed. Food is pretty decent for the price and locality. Property owner Mr. Nice guy!!, is keen to discuss with the guest and learn the stay experience. Certainly, we will stay again.

Cons:

Nothing to mention, stay and experience the wonder.

Un rêve éveillé
Pros:

Ce lieu est magique de A à Z. Aucun autre établissement ne peut lui ressembler. Paisible, au milieu d'une magnifique végétation, vous bénéficierez d'une très jolie piscine, de la visite des paons, des oiseaux, des chèvres. Vous découvrirez un petit musée, une rivière (malheureusement sèche au moment de notre passage), des objets d'arts disséminés ici et là tout au long de votre balade dans le somptueux jardin. Ici, tout est propice à la détente et à la sérénité. Les chambres sont incroyables, le personnel - vêtu d'un dhoti - est absolument charmant et les repas sont délicieux.

Cons:

Rien

Swimming pool very bad and totally money oriented stay...I would be better if I had stayed in MANTRA
Pros:

Staff was very rude....nobody responding ....SWIMMING POOL was like too much chlorine in the water....eyes was burning

Cons:

I asked for chilled water and they said I have to pay for that...I paid totally 1,25,000/- for total stay and they said I have to pay 120/- for water bottle...which is sold out side for 20/-

Very overwhelming and not restful
Pros:

Beautiful grounds and antiques

Cons:

Shower area was poorly planned with no proper demarcation with wet and dry, rooms were over decorated with antiques and poorly maintained with unclean furnishings. Heritage property with no respect for maintaining heritage items. Food and service at dining was terrible, overcrowded, unhygienic with flies, poorly cooked and served. We were not told there would be a marriage celebration happening outside our room at the time of check in. Seems to be designed for western tour groups who are easily impressed and looking for an ‘Indian’ experience.

J’espère y revenir ! Un hôtel musée plein de charme. A refaire !
Pros:

Cet hôtel est magnifique ! Très grand. C est plus qu’un hôtel , ça vaut la peine d’y consacrer un peu de temps même en circuit. Il y a du charme , de l’histoire . Un bel accueil en anglais compréhensible , un petit massage des pieds, un collier de fleur, un verre de bienvenue, une sublime piscine ( faut enlever un peu plus les feuilles etc). Ambiance zen et d’un passé révolu.
Très bon petit-déjeuner
Service aux petits soins.
Vaste propriété ! Jardin, différents blocs avec différentes chambres.
Musique live agréable le soir.
Notre chambre était jolie, style ancien comme souhaité. J espère y revenir.
Il ne semble pas fréquenté par des familles ace enfants donc c’est assez calme et agréable
Tout nous a semblé propre !
Il y a plein de petits animaux dans le domaine ( écureuils, oiseaux, grenouilles, chèvres .. ) génial !

Cons:

Quelques détails qui font que ça mérite presque un 10 .. ( disons 9,5)
Repas du soir sous forme de buffet. On a bien mangé mais j’aurais préféré choisir à la carte. Choix de boissons limité.
La salle de bain n’est pas top. C est ancien certes mais là ça manque de charme, de netteté par rapport à tout le reste de l’hôtel.
Nous aurions aimé rester plus de temps et aussi profiter du spa pour un massage avec le beau masseur souriant et sympa mais prix un peu trop élevés ( même pour un hôtel).
