This place exists due to its location in the city. For the rates they charge for a room I find it a horrible experience. Its an old building and there was nothing much comfortable about it Few of the staff were plain rude. They denied a room first saying they dont accept a passport for identification. I still do not...

The most irritating and frustrating experience i had is the workers asking for TIPS like beggars. 1. For showing me the room and switching on the lights and AC - 20 INR 2. For asking them... More

The hotel seems to be too old, the rooms need a quick makeover, considering the price they charge for a day. aprox 3k, is too. Not much difference than a lodge , but the only plus point of the hotel is the location, which is very convenient .They rooms need a quick make over and the quality of north Indian... More

I returned back to this hotel after my last experience which was OK. The price is affordabale when compared to other seemingly posh hotels in the near vicinity. Alas!

The place has a very old looking feel to it. The rooms/bathrooms are large and spacious. Not the cleanest place. The location is very good and is known by all. The servers/attenders are shabbily dressed and demand a tip for everything. We had booked for a night stay and suited us fine. This place is recommended by the old timers... More

This is an ideal place for living. Restaurant has good and delicious vegetarian food that is admirable to even a non-vegetarian. Room service is very bad. when requested tea, they brought in a very ugly unclean tea pot. Cups were dirty and the room boy was asking for tips. Room is spacious. Deluxe AC room is spacious and airconditioned. Plus... More
