Hotel Ashoka doesnt have any great interiors or anything great about it. Its location is central and one can go to Mount Road for shopping. Thier south indian breakfast is really good but lunch is not so good. Services was really bad & the language also was an issue as their understanding of Hindi was really poor. Please do enjoy...

The main charm of this hotel is its restaurant 'Abhinandan' which is amazing and you will get to see loads of cars parked just for the food. Rooms are fine with lot scope for improvement but as for a budget hotel, this is a good destination... More

The hotel has a vegetarian restaurant and the rates are pretty reasonable for both the accomodation and the restaurant. A complimentary breakfast awaits every day which can be availed only by visiting the restaurant. Tip the waiters well at first, for good service during the stay. More
