Einfach wundervolle Tage in dieser Unterkunft, ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt.
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt 50 m ruhig etwas von der Straße entfernt. Die Betten und Duschen sind bisher die besten in Indien. Das Frühstück ist ein wahres Obstparadies. Die Zimmer sind modern, hell und mit einem großen Balkon ausgestattet. Das Personal überaus freundlich und hilfsbereit! Sehr zu empfehlen!!

Overall it was nice, but could have been better with what they had promised at the time of booking.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The facilities promised in booking.com were different to the facilities provided.
We didn’t get extra large bed, bathroom didn’t have hanging space. Hot water doesn’t work in the morning as it is solar powered.

Pros:

I absolutely loved staying at this property — it had such a warm and inviting atmosphere. There was something about the space that just felt calm and relaxing the moment I walked in. It was peaceful, private, and had a really positive energy throughout. The location was ideal — quiet and safe, yet still close to everything I needed. I felt genuinely comfortable and at ease the whole time. It was the kind of place you instantly feel at home in. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly pleasant experience.

Cons:

Nothing
