The hotel's design is excellent, showcasing uniqueness in every corner. my room was fantastic. I can say it was among the best i have ever stayed in. the staff were very helpful. Mr siva, the house manager, was accommodating. i even met ms dushi kumar, the owner, who designed the hotel with a keen eye.
I noticed a significant number of mosquitoes . the price seemed a bit high considering the location is not very central. I think it's important to balance the pricing with the convenience factor.

I stayed here for two nights and i will be returning at the end of my trip. the hotel has so much charm and character. It's unlike any soulless hotel chains. the staff were warm and kind.
the hotel seems more interested in showing off its history than in hearing the impressions of the guests. i found a big problem with mosquitoes. the price is high, especially considering the non-central location.
