A stunning lakeside location for this heritage hotel.
Pros:

Arrival by water taxi was unexpected and enjoyable. This attractive heritage property was located in a perfect area with great views over the lake. A stunning lake backdrop. The restaurant was reasonably good and OK value for money.

Cons:

The hotel is open to the public and was regularly used as a photo opportunity as it overlooked the lake. This was a bit annoying after a time and made the hotel quite busy and less relaxing. The room did not have a lake view, which we knew in advance, but the window overlooked the restaurant and central courtyard.

Grosse déception, l’endroit semblait avoir tout pour plaire, il ne faut pas y regarder de trop près.
Pros:

Le petit dej et la restauration de qualité depuis le rooftop avec vue lac…
C’est malheureusement tout ce qu’il y a à sauver!
Le reste est calamiteux

Cons:

Le bruit!!!! En Inde cela semble être une constante, mais là on bat des records. On entend le moindre bruit extérieur, gros souci d’insonorisation.
Les chambres standard sont petites et sans fenêtres.
Le mobilier n’est plus de toute première fraîcheur.
L’eau chaude dure 2/3 min max.
Les parties communes sont agréables malgré quelques fautes de goût ( fausse pelouse au sol).
L’hygiène laisse à désirer par endroits.

Very poor
Pros:

Beautiful setting with great views over Lake Pichola

Cons:

Although our room was a whole floor from restaurant level, the noise from people moving chairs in the restaurant was unbearable. So loud. The hotel obviously knew this was a problem but pretended they didn’t know! The room above us was closed - slight give away! The hotel manager wasn’t sympathetic at all and tried to avoid addressing or admitting to the issue.
Although the venue is beautiful, the experience for residents is spoiled by there constantly being pre wedding photos taken from early morning to evening. The couples and the cameras are constantly in the way. We heard the hotel gets paid handsomely for this so they’re obviously not interested in stopping it.
The room was very tired and needed updating. The bathroom was particularly old and tired. Photos below.
The sheets on the bed were yellowish. Not crisp and white at all.
The chairs in the breakfast restaurant were very stained and breakfast was very under par. Not much choice at all.

Very expensive for the property and service.
They don't provide mineral water bottles - only arrow water which is a big let down considering the price of the room.

Breakfast service needs to be improved

Pros:

El hotel es fantástico desde la ubicación con una hermosa vista al lago hasta cada rincón del hotel hermosamente decorado. El personal muy amable

Cons:

Lo único que diría solo a modo de sugerencia es que en el desayuno controlen las cosas dulces que al probarlas parecen tener muchos días de elaboración. Todo lo demás es perfecto
