Excellent value for money with a very warm welcome
Pros:

Spacious, comfortable, characterful rooms. A great restaurant with an excellent buffet and a la carte options. Extremely warm and friendly service in the restaurant, from housekeeping, the hotel porters and some of the reception team. A great little hotel shop crammed with quality goods at a good price. Excellent value for money and in a quiet area in the city.

Cons:

We had a disturbed first night as our room was directly under an active roof terrace with furniture being scraped etc. On taking it up with reception the next day, we were promptly moved to a quieter room on the same floor.
The window in the bathroom didn't close completely and the mosquito netting was loose. Maintenance did attempt to sort this out straightaway but were unable to fix it. However, the mosquito plug ins supplied by the hotel were effective.

Lovely
Pros:

The breakfast was so comprehensive. Everything was provided for. I liked the fresh options, luke the masala dosa. Although it would have been good to have made aware of it as option from the beginning.

Cons:

I loved the place. My only negative comment would be the main fron of house gentlemen. Absolutely zero smiles or welcome. We got a lovely drink but he was quite surly and ea h interaction was the same. It's hard as a lovely place and just maybe he had personal issues.

Highly recommended upscale hotel
Pros:

Large rooms with good facilities and a comfortable bed, and good aircon. Grand looking old fashioned hotel with historical features. Decent location a short tuk tuk journey from the main sights. Good South Indian style breakfast and dinner at the restaurant.

Cons:

I was messaged twice before our visit asking for us to pay the full amount via a separate link, despite my reservation at Booking.com indicating that advance payment was not required. After the first time, they clarified that advance payment was not required so its annoying to be asked a second time - other people report similar concerns so I hope they can sort this out. I was also asked 4 times for time of arrival, when I had already provided - for such a large hotel, I dont see this being a key concern.

Memorable stay!!
Pros:

Room is pretty clean and good. The bed was comfy. However, we came across few issues, the aircon was not functioning properly and the fan was only running at the full speed. Had to make multiple calls to get something from the housekeeping team. There were mosquitoes in the room that were allocated to us probably due to damaged mosquito net in the bath room. However, the staff at the reception (during the daytime) were very kind and helpful. Notably, the girl Varsha was very helpful. When we reported the challenges we had at the room (501), Varsha immediately got the room changed to another one, which was good and didn’t have the issues we had previously. Her simplicity and smile connects with customers. Morning breakfast was too good! We tasted 80% of the food that was on the buffet table, all were very tasty and fresh!
Also, it would be helpful if the receptionist in the night shift be able to help if a customer approach them for assistance in getting a taxi during the wee hours.

You can put lipstick on a pig, but at the end of the day, its still a pig.
Pros:

On the surface, and from online reviews, you would think this is a top class hotel.
Its when you look underneath the pretty furniture, its just another typical Indian hotel that lacks maintenance and a proper cleaning.
The service standards are just adequate, the food is run of the mill.

There're Auto rickshaws at the end of the driveway if you need one. Do not rely on Uber in this city.
If I return to this city, I will chose another hotel.
