Good potential but poor service
Pros:

Clean and quite big room.

Cons:

Poor food quality.
Lots of waiters, almost no one really professional: long waiting times, missing deliveries, food on the table and on the ground instead in the plate while serving.
Less to none noise insulation in the rooms, resulting in music from outside during the night and loud voices from personell.
Driver to Ellora provided by the hotel, not cheap, repeatedly tried to drive me to shops and sellers.

Overall, not a 5 star experience and maybe not even 3. Less apparent luxury and more concrete service (like drinkable drinks, tasty food, less but trained waiters, ...).

Pros:

The stay was nice overall. Friendly staff, clean hotel premises, comfortable beds, tasty breakfast etc.

Cons:

The food used to be served very very late each time after ordering from the menu, all the three days, during our stay - which was a fly in the ointment!

Un peu plus près des étoiles
Pros:

Tout notre séjour a été formidable. C'était la dernière étape de notre voyage et, avec les visites d'Ajanta et Ellora, la cerise sur le gâteau...
Je me demande même si lors d'un prochain séjour, je ne renouvellerai pas l'expérience... Un petit sas de décompression avant le retour au pays
Merci

EXCEPTIONNEL ET ABORDABLE
Pros:

Tout.
Très bel hôtel ancien avec beaucoup de charme. Chambres immenses, très belle salle de bains avec bons produits de toilette. Très propre. Une petite terrasse avec une balancelle indienne bien agréable. Le personnel est adorable et efficace. Les responsables ne restent pas derrière leur bureau nous les avons croisé plusieurs fois pendant nos 3 jours et ils s'inquiètent de notre bien être. Beau jardin pour dîner le soir et très belle piscine propre. Le chef Sainath Rathode nous a enchanté avec ses plats à la carte et les buffets indiens/européens que ce soit au petit dejeuner ou au dîner. Un vrai régal ! L'endroit est très calme. Beaucoup de respect pour les clients. Faites vous plaisir offrez vous un luxe à des prix abordables. Je recommande vivement vous n'aurez que des bons souvenirs.

Cons:

Rien tout était parfait.

Generally a good stay
Pros:

Good breakfast spread
Trainee staff most friendly

Cons:

Room Housekeeping.
Daily Replenishments were niggardly.
Housekeeping much to be improved and supervised. Trainees need propoer supervision and guidance. Permanent housekeeping staff seems to be taking it easy

Pros:

The staff were excellent and very helpful. The restaurants were good and the communal areas were well maintained.

Cons:

The room was crying out for refurbishment, particularly the bathroom. I am aware this has already started in some rooms.

There was a large function held at the hotel. This meant we lost the use of the lovely garden and a restaurant for most of our stay. This was really unfortunate.

Ask first
Pros:

Well positioned for tours

Cons:

Poor taxi and travel connections. They were charging me 1300/- on a journey that was 300/- with other carriers. This nearly made me late for my connection, I should have asked much earlier.
