Bad
Cons:

It was so smelly. I checked in around 2 pm just to drop my luggage. Had to wait 20 mins at reception for check in. Place was smelling like gutter. Staff explained it is due to disinfectant.

I came back from client meeting at 430 pm and the place was still smelling shit. I asked them to check out. Never used any facility in the hotel.

They did not care to refund any amount even though I had to leave the facility due to shitty smell.

All reviews you see from foreigners - they are lured for Yoga sessions and they find a cheap place to stay here.

IBIS would be better than this at half a cost.

I would recommend Niketana in a heartbeat
Pros:

Location is very central. The house is kept with a lot of love and its evident in the cleaniliness. I was a little apprehensive as i am a solo female traveller. But i didn't feel unsafe at all.

An overall disappointing stay
Pros:

The property has a heritage charm and is in a quiet leafy location

Cons:

- The service was very inattentive. One staff member was particularly rude. The rest of them would somehow try to help, but are not well trained.
- The breakfast is terrible: no fresh fruit, just a few basic dishes which are not tasty.
- The room was dusty and with mosquitoes inside of it
- While the property is surrounded by greenery, views from rooms are essentially on the walls

Excellent property in an excellent location and staff; but housekeeping can be better
Pros:

Breakfast was very average. But when we wanted them to prepare the lunch the previous day, it was cooked very well.

Cons:

Maintenance and house keeping can be improved.

Absolutely fine place
Pros:

The furniture, the garden, flexibility of kindness of reception staff. (Special thanks to Mani :) )
Oh and the great breakfast (please forget the toast here, try the local one), loved the idli - the sambar was of great quality and loved the freshly pressed mango juice, too.

Cons:

Actually it was a perfect fit for me
