The rooms were basic but comfortable and very clean. The beds were changed... read more

If you want luxury, this is not the place for you. We had a 'back view' room for the first day but asked to be moved and were happily relocated within 2 days with no arguement or fuss. The rooms are basic but clean and as there is so much to see and... read more

Awful. That's the first word that comes to my mind while giving review about this hotel. The hotel is more for foreigners and less for Indians. The hotel staff go out of their way to treat foreigners while Indians are treated shabily. No one takes... read more

This was our first visit to India but we were pleasantly surprised. The hotel staff are very friendly and can’t do enough for you. The rooms are cleaned daily and the beds changed. You get clean towels daily too. You have a mini bar in your room and... read more

We were met with a cold drink and checked in very quickly. The staff then took our cases to our room. Spacious with typical Indian solid beds (I used chair cushions under the sheets) but my husband was not bothered by hard beds.

Staff were... read more

We booked this hotel after seeing it when we stayed at the Nizmar (opposite) last year - it looked nice and was in a very quiet road (always good to have as the traffic noise can be really bad when staying on the main road).

We had a very... read more

A small and very friendly hotel situated in a quiet area but still convenient for the beach and the town.

We ate there on several evenings and the food was delicious. I would especially recommend the seafood platter. Rooms were basic but very clean and problems were dealt with promptly.
