Hospitality of the hotel

Nothing I didn't like

Nice garden, room and bathroom was really big and spacious. Bed was comfy. Small coffee table and chairs and also a side table in the room. The bunch of boys from rural India running the place work hard to make a living - my best wishes to them. They will wash your car for a small fee on request.

Table cloths in dining hall are not cleaned and replaced daily - dal and drip stains are left as is on the serving table. They can try using rexine table covers that can be wiped down with a wet mop cloth easily. Parking is possible only for two cars or max three if the bikes are moved.

We were given a room on the second floor, but we requested a different room because my friend was sick and could not take stares; they provided us with the one on the ground floor, which was of decent size for the three of us. You could request for a customized breakfast like boiled eggs, omelets, etc., which are not generally on the breakfast menu but at a basic price. The vegetables were grown in the garden, and they'd use them for cooking. Whenever asked, the staff served us coffee, tea, etc. Regarding location, we could walk to the main market easily because it was downhill, but returning to stay was a bit challenging if we preferred to walk (at least for us girls). The stay was great overall. I would visit again for a more extended period.

Sometimes we had to remind the staff of what we asked for although they were very helpful most of the time. There is no midnight service in case you run out of drinking water. But we called the host, who then arranged it for us.

the beds are really comfortable and good hospitality

Access to market

Nothing.

Everything from breakfast to cleaning was in worst shape. Staff is inefficient with zero ownership of their work. Food was worst. Street food is far better than their breakfast and dinner.
