    Great aloo parathas and coffee in the palm-shaded courtyard. Great Indian food in the restaurant Fantastically friendly staff who rapidly became like old friends

    Wifi is practically non-existent and needs a serious upgrade

    Property response:

    Thank You for Your Feedback Dear Mr. Nicholas, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the aloo parathas, coffee, and the ambiance of our palm-shaded courtyard. It’s wonderful to know that our Indian cuisine and the hospitality of our team made you feel right at home — we’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to the staff! We also appreciate your honest feedback about the Wi-Fi. We're aware it’s not up to the mark and are actively working on improvements to ensure a smoother experience for our guests in the near future. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon — hopefully with upgraded Wi-Fi and the same warm smiles!

    The breakfast designed in a very palatable manner with multiple options. They mainly serve continental sort of breakfast and should include some other cuisine too. The location is easily accessible with taxi service and a nearby busstand too.

    Clean and comfy bed

    Total chaos at check in. Would only accept cash no cards. I had no cash on me. No breakfast included receptionist said it was only included for genius level customers (which I am)

    Property response:

    Clarification Regarding Your Reservation Dear Mr. Jeffery, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. We sincerely regret any frustration encountered during check-in and would like to clarify the situation. Upon reviewing your reservation details through Booking.com, we found that no payment was made prior to your arrival. While we do accept cash as a payment method, we did not state that we exclusively accept cash—other payment options are available. Unfortunately, since you did not have cash at the time of check-in and no prior payment had been completed, this may have contributed to the confusion. Regarding breakfast, we apologize for any misunderstanding. Your reservation did not include breakfast, and our policy states that complimentary breakfast is offered only to Genius-level customers whose booking includes it. We understand this may have been unexpected, and we appreciate your feedback as we continuously strive to improve clarity in our communication. If you have any further concerns or require assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We value your patronage and hope to provide you with a smoother experience in the future.
