Pros:

Right on the water with great views of backwaters. Los of bird life. Easy to order food deliveries or beer even. Jeswin and the other staff were always super helpful and accessible on whatsapp. Really appreciated the help with activities and onward travel

Brilliant place to chill
Pros:

EVERYTHING!! I love this cute cozy hotel on the river, it is sooo relaxing sitting in the front porch under the fan waving at the boats going by lol, its quiet, clean and the mattress was perfectly soft and comfy, not hard like many Indian mattresses, i paid extra for air com given this time of year and slept so food, the management are AWESOME to say the least, abundance of info, i took the uncovered shikara boar just before sunrise and it was so relaxing and gorgeous- hardly any one around and great to get to the very small canals - they will order food for you from a nearby restaurant which is really good, plus he can arrange the beer guy to bring you icy cold beers - i will be back !! 9pm

Cons:

Nothing - all was great

Fine
Pros:

Lovely canal view with great seating area to watch boats go by. The wooden buildings had a lot of character.

Cons:

The hot water can only be used from the tap, not the shower. The AC was an additional charge of 500 per day which was turned off externally from our room during our stay more than once. Expensive when considering alternative accommodation.
