Sukanya United States of America

The personalised attention of the staff (especially Srija) and private tour of the hotel’s history that she gave us were the highlights of our stay. In addition, she solved several problems we had. The relationship of the price and the quality of the stay was excellent. The heritage room (#280) is spacious, well maintained, elegantly decorated and has a lovey balcony with a view of the beautiful swimming pool.

Elyse India
