Parawa House

To be ask to pay on arrival.

My front balcony room was always hot.(Even the balcony in the afternoon sun). A back room may have been cooler. No onsite laundry service or send out and return laundry service.

Aircon could be stronger to combat the heat during March and felt it was too expensive for what it was.

Internet war nicht besonders gut

Not that keen on been asked to pay in advance for the rooms on arrival, pretty unusual and not that welcoming but otherwise any issues that we had were dealt with promtly and with a smile.

First day we arrived, tired and exhausted, there was a power cut around midday. We couldn’t use anything, so waited. Then we went out for a walk and came back still no power. Just sat in the dark in the corridor in front of our room ( power should have been back). There was no communication as to what we should be doing, then I asked for candles, we were given one candle. Then I asked if there is any water for shower, so luckily was able to have a cold shower. I then asked for more candles so we could move around as it was pitched dark. So we went for dinner. The lack of communication was an issue and we were treated as if we were visiting relatives, completely ignored while there was a power cut for hours. Then the next morning I was sitting outside in front of my room, there was a loud bang on the door, had no idea who it was, so didn’t open the door. Then a guy just appeared who was staying in the property next door. Although I don’t know why he has access to our property (which has a number of rooms). He was obviously drunk and asked if I was a worker (presumably because I am dark skin but I don’t have an Indian accent). So then I was asked lots of questions as if I was a staff, and was also asked to take messages to give to staff. I guess there was no contact details for the hotel. And we had issues with the A/C as well, which means people had to access our room. Just to say it gets very hot in the courtyard despite having a fan around. So, did not enjoy our stay but the issues are more about management really and not staff. Sometimes it is really difficult to communicate simple things with the evening staff.

The drawback of the courtyard and plants are the insects that come with it. Not much that can be done I think.

Hated having to say farewell and depart!

We paid ~300€ for 3 nights and it is overpriced, because the hotel is so small, it feels like renting a room in the house, there is no hot water in the morning, there are no water bottles in the rooms, there is just a 2 bottles with chlorinated water. Breakfast is the same, just making eggs in different ways, same fruits.

The coffee was terrible and the lack of tea making items in the room. Given that the fort only starts waking up after 8am, I could not find a single cafe that was open and offered tea.

Nothing!
