Poor cleaniness, suffocating room, inadequate bed to accommodate people
Pros:

Location is amazing

Cons:

The room felt extremely suffocating due to poor ventilation. The bed was inadequate for two people, despite being advertised as suitable for two adults and one child. In reality, it was challenging to accommodate even two individuals. The bed runner and floor were covered in hair and sticky, and the linen was in poor condition.

Superb
Pros:

The hotel was unexpectedly amazing. It was the best decision to book this hotel. Location was easy to find and everything was easily accessible. We had asked for late check in and the room was kept ready for us unlike most hostels don't usually allow this. But upon reaching we were greeted very nicely. There were certain points I would like to highlight about the hotel
1. Owner and staffs were very cooperative and helpful
2. Rooms were not exactly the same as shown in the images. Though I upgraded to Premium room from Super Deluxe. And the room had every facility needed. It was super comfortable
3. My booking didn't include breakfast but the owner was so sweet to provide us with breakfast and water for all days are complimentary
4. Their hospitality and service was super impressive and I even extended my stay
5. Their check ins and check outs are very flexible. They have proper safety measures.
6. They even provided us with the invoice of our expenditure and charges which clearly shows how authenticately and genuinely they work
7. It clearly provides what it promises
I am clearly very happy with my stay and the sweet people I got to know
It's a must visit hotel

Cons:

There's nothing I have disliked but yes I would like to recommend them to improve food quality and quantity. I was a bit unsatisfied with the Maggie I ordered.

Must visit ..
Pros:

I like the behaviour of the staff team. Only Rooms are quite small otherwise it's overall great. They also gave us a complementary breakfast which was not there in the package. Sweet gesture by Manager.
