Pros:

The room was comfortable. We accidentally left back 2 pieces of clothing. When we realised it after 2 days the reception found it for us.

Cons:

Toilet was not great with the flushing button broken.
Service poor. Eg. When the room was cleaned the used towels were taken in the morning. When we returned around 2pm after a long morning there were no towels in the room. We called at least 4 times and the towels were not delivered till 4.30pm.we not only missed out on our next appointment but also had to stay sweaty for the 2.30 hours.
Next, the cloths given for washing and pressing came back very crushed. The photos were shown to the reception.
The ironing facility provided, in my opinion was only a token, poor iron and board.

Pros:

Wir hatten ein DeLuxe Doppelzimmer im 3. Stock bekommen. Das Zimmer war sauber und geräumig und mit allem ausgestattet. Das war alles okay.

Cons:

Leider ist das Hotel sehr hellhörig. Über unserem Zimmer im 4. Stock st die Banquett-Halle gewesen. Dort weden u. a. Geburtstage gefeiert. Von nachmittags bis spät in die Nacht war das Stühle rücken zu hören. In den Gängen sind kleine Sitzgruppen vorhanden. Dort haben die Gäste aus Indien gegessen und sich mehr als laut unterhalten. Leider konnte man die Zimmertüren nicht geräuschlos schließen. Wir haben 2 Nächte leider nicht schlafen können.
Um zum Tempel zu kommen muss man auf alle Fälle ein TukTuk nehmen. Der Bahnhof ist sehr nahe. Fußläufig erreichbar einige Restautund kleine Supermärkte..
Der Frühstücks/Speisesaal ist sehr ungemütlich und dunkel. Die Sauberkeit ließ zu wünschen übrig. Die Tassen und Gläser waren nicht sauber. Der gesamte Eindruck war nicht gut.
