Cons:

The breakfast was very crowded. We had to wait in a long queue just to get into the buffet area. Most of the food was Indian, with very few other options. Not everyone is used to Indian food, especially for breakfast.
Also, the smell of cooking from the buffet clung to our clothes when we left the dining hall. We felt like we had just come out of a kitchen.

More Than a Hotel, Truly an Icon
Pros:

This is not just a hotel — it’s an icon, and we had been looking forward to our stay for a long time. The welcome was genuinely lovely, the rooms were beautiful, and the pool was absolutely fantastic. Everything felt elegant, special, and full of history.

Everything was fantastic. The atmosphere, the service, the comfort — it all reflects why this place is considered an icon. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Cons:

First, they forgot the picture, which was something we were really excited about.
Second, the breakfast routine was a bit challenging, with long waiting times that made the morning feel less relaxed.
