Great stay with Great people!
Pros:

I stayed for 2 nights with my family. Location is splendid. All staff including manager Mr. Sharma were quite helpful and took good care. The owner is a gem of a person. There is no negative point about this property. Would highly recommend to stay here. You can get a beautiful sunset view from the property. Hatu temple and Nag temple are also nearby and a must place to visit.

Cons:

No negative point.

Nice hotel in a good place
Pros:

It’s location!

Cons:

Unexpected allotment in a lower rated room though I have booked the best one and paid even more than their price for their best room! I have booked thru’ booking.com. I paid ten thousand in Indian rupees plus eighteen hundred taxes . I was allotted a room , the cost of which was 6500/- . When I brought this thing to their notice, they replied they have done this as per booking.com advise! Everyone must be aware of this thing!

Did not live up to expectations as compared to other banjara properties.
Pros:

The food was very good and personal attention to detail was given. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The room was spacious with a great view.

Cons:

The bedding linen could be of better quality and didn’t seem that clean. The mattress was not very comfortable.
