Pros:

Nothing much. But ambience was good. Staff are cordial and co-operative.

Cons:

For the tariff charged/paid, comforts were little. Lift didn't work consecutively for 3 days putting elderly, guests with knee problems etc. to lots of inconvenience. Hot water did not come in our rooms necessiating our complaints to the reception desk. Restaurant has lot to improve with availability of food items to guests. Now it is limited.
I may not wish to stay at this property in future.

Pros:

Le personnel de l’hôtel est vraiment au petit soin. L’hôtel est super. C’est une petite bulle cosy et paisible. Je conseille vivement.
Par contre pour aller à l’ashram de Ramana il faut prendre un tuk tuk (150 l’aller ) sinon c’est trop loin à pied.
Pour ma part au petit déjeuner il manquait le choix au niveau du sucré (pas de muesli, pas de yaourt, pas de miel ni fruits) mais il y avait un grand choix de salé.

Il miglior hotel della città
Pros:

Ottimo soggiorno rilassante in una posizione strategica della città. Molto vicino al percorso di pellegrinaggio.
Posto silenzioso e piscina molto carina.
Ho apprezzato anche il ristorante adatto per i palati occidentali.

Cons:

Nulla da segnalare
