Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, with a nice view and good facilities, but the garden view might not be preferred during rainy days due to wet grass. The service is mostly helpful and courteous, although there were some issues with missing items and occasional rudeness. The location is cozy and ideal for enjoying Mall Road and Ridge, enhancing the overall stay. The dining experience, while decent, could be improved in terms of variety and quality. The facilities provide a satisfactory experience overall, with room for enhancement in certain areas.
I found the hotel to be a mixed bag. While the rooms were average and lacked a good view, the service was exceptional. The location was convenient, but the dining options left much to be desired.
Returning to the hotel rooms felt like coming back to a warm, inviting sanctuary with spacious and beautifully decorated spaces offering stunning views across the valley, creating a truly relaxing and peaceful stay. The service, although generally overpriced, was very courteous and humble, with top-notch quality and delightful cocktails to enjoy. The location was excellent, nestled just off the pedestrianized Mall with easy access to nature, but a bit disastrous for those on the first floor, offering a pretty good overall experience. The dining was satisfactory, although improvements could elevate the experience, and the facilities were quite nice.
Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, offering nice views across the valley. However, the shower enclosure was not working during my stay. The service was exceptional, with staff being polite and friendly. The location is possibly the best option for enjoying the Mall Road and Ridge, providing a nice cozy place to hang out. The dining experience, although reasonable and varied, could be improved, especially by adding breakfast options. Overall, a great spot with excellent service and views.
I had an amazing stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, modern, and clean, offering a very relaxing and peaceful experience. The staff was attentive and polite, providing top-notch service. The location was excellent, just off the pedestrianized Mall, and I could sit and enjoy nature with a panoramic view of the valley. The breakfast options were reasonable and varied, and overall, it was a great value for money.
