Cons: No restaurant attched with this.

Cons: The AC needs to be better. It should be serviced regularly. The room would take a long time to get comfortable due to AC issues.

Pros: We stayed in a large deluxe family room with one double bed, three single beds and one child bed. The single beds were narrow but the mattresses were comfy. Sheets & towels were clean. Overall, clean rooms, comfy beds, clean toilets.

Cons: Appalling service. 1. No breakfast served as promised and charged for - since they claimed the building was under renovation. 2. No service - no sense of hospitality. The reception is mostly unmanned and even then, with untrained freshers. 3. Even the morning coffee, tea we ordered came in open paper cups bought from nearby cafe - and was terrible. 4. The a/c wasn't working properly on the first night and when we came back from a day of temple visits, we found the bed and pillow flooded with a/c drip water. 5. Room wasn't cleaned, we left the waste box out since no one came to empty it, it remained there for the two days we were there. 6. We asked for a partial refund since they didn't provide breakfast as promised in the package and the a/c & service was so poor - nothing except a measly Rs. 250 off.

Cons: The room had aircondition but it was not working fine. when asked cleaning the room the main reception doesn't know has the room been cleaned or not. the reception asked us to follow up with the room attendance on the floor

Cons: No restaurant available.Went with 1 year baby and had to run outside for hot water. Luckly we had carried hot water which came for the night.

Pros: Checking out

Cons: Bathroom

Pros: Nothing to say

Cons: Cleanliness

Pros: This was my worst experience I have ever met. Please donot book this hotel. They have confirmed the befor night and when we landed there suddenly , they are asking us to wait for 6 hrs to occupy the room. They have given out booked rooms to somebody and making money. Then why the hell , they are calling and confirming us.. Me and my family having 1 yr kid stood on the road and the receptionist never bothered. He was saying like you need to wait here or get out.

Cons: This is the worst behaviour and I suggest not to book via booking.com too.

Cons: Cockroaches were running around in the room and the staff did not have any spray to kill the cockroaches. The room seemed to be closed for a long time. It did not smell good. Had asked for a cup of milk to the staff and they never got it. Overall I wud not recommend this property.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: They did not honor a/c room booking, unclean bathroom and room. Just wanted to mint money and no service. Poor front desk staff and overly priced. Avoid staying here

Pros: A big nothing.

Cons: The room wall are stinking. No air circulation. The taps are fully rusted and we were very fearful to touch the taps. The towel bar fully rusted. The bath room is very very small. The hot water geyser switch is not in the room but it is in reception and we have to take bath when the management decide to switch on the geyser. And they will switch off the geyser electricity after sometime. If you have not seen the geyser on you will miss the hot water. Inside the room every where dust and there is not place to keep our cloths . next to the hotel a big open space is there and it is stinking with waste and stagnated water. In this place lot of busses and lorries are parked and they will make noise whole night. I have taken photos on on the site. If you want please send me a mail and I will attach and send to you. I do not know how booking.com is selecting these hotels and recommending us. If you continue to do this I have no alternative then not to see booking.com in future. Please remove this hotel from the list immediately.

Pros: Staff was rude

Cons: Attitude
