The worst thing was, overflow of water from the washroom to room while draining water from bath tub.. Oh! even tap on tub was not working and was to use shower to fill water.. really worst... More

The Hotel is fairly close to the airport, and easily accessible. However, there is a stale stench( probably coz of overuse of room freshner) as soon as you enter. The reception staff was courteous, and helpful ( they showed me rooms until i decided on one) But the hotel is under renovation and room furnishings are old and worn out.... More

The hotel is 15-20 minutes away from Domestic and International airport. Location is quite good. The quality of service, food in hotel is OK. The rooms are decorated nicely with interiors. All rooms are A/c, with mini bar, buffet lunch and dinner facility. The buffet breakfast with exotic south indian items.

They advertise as 4* but not even 2*, we wanted to stay for 4 nights, but couldn't cope with just 1 night, the rooms are filthy, outdated and smells. How on earth do they get away with this scam? This hotel needs to be removed from any hotel search apps. And be careful about cancellation as you won't get your... More

Trouble started with pick-up. Despite repeated calls, no pick-up was arranged. Then, I had to wait at the reception, as both the persons at reception paid less attention to my check-in, and more to phone calls & other things. Next, the lift was stuck at 8th floor. I had to again wait for 10+ minutes for the lift to start.... More
