Hotel Kailas describes itself as a boutique hotel but that it not quite how I would describe it. We stayed in a cottage room which was quite roomy but basic. It was reasonably clean but the bathroom had seen better days. The restaurant was more like a canteen with lots of coach parties in, the food was ok. The location... More

From the outside, the hotel looks great - pretty little cottages with patios, nicely spread out over well-maintained grounds. Inside, it's a different story. The biggest problem is the big window that has no glass - only a wire mesh. In our cottage it was facing the wind, and the strong draft made any attempts to sleep an absolutely miserable... More

My partner and I very much enjoyed our stay at Kailas. We booked a cottage with a "caves view" which I would recommend to others as well. Although all the cottages are situated in beautiful gardens, the cave view cottages have unimpeded views of open space, while the others have views of neighboring cottages. The cottages themselves are simple, but... More

There are two things I can call out as "excellent" for this hotel. One, its location really is about a two minute walk from the entrance to the Ellora Caves. And two, there is plenty of hot water in the shower. Now, for the rest ... That hot water is in the shower only. The sink offers only cold. The... More

We spent 10 days (including Christmas Day) at this wondeful place, exploring the caves. We had our own stone cottage, which was tastefully furnished,modern bathroom, comfortable double bed marble flooring, and best of all, a balcony, which overlooked a valley& the caves. Peaceful & serene, we spent many hours on this balcony, just listening to the birds & having a... More

I went to this place to visit Ellora Caves. The proximity of this hotel to Ellora caves makes it an ideal place to stay. Even from the hotel garden, you can have a distant look at the caves. Its cottages and rooms are very spacious. Its a good place if you want to explore the caves for 2-3 days. The... More

We stayed in one of the back rooms looking out towards the caves. The room was stylishly simple, comfortable, spotless and very quiet. The location couldn't be better! Very nice food, helpful friendly staff - we would happily stay here again. The hotel staff put us in touch with a fantastic driver - you couldn't ask for a better driver... More

Lonely Planet may tell you to consider Hotel Kailas only if you cannot get enough of Ellora in one day, but the truth is no one can get enough of Ellora in one day! The caves are best visited in the early morning (they open at 6 AM), before the bus loads of tourists arrive around 9. Staying at Hotel... More

If going to Ellora, do stay at this hotel, you can't beat the view to the caves from your cottage , the room has good ac, comfortable bed, clean bathroom and nice terrace with a view to the caves or the sunset.
