I loved the vast hotel grounds and how green it was. It was a joy to walk through in the morning and evening. All the staff were very friendly and fast in serving my needs. Bathroom amenities were not up to the standard I would expect for Oberoi brand (I stayed at Oberoi Gurgaon for 4 nights straight after and the amenities provided were far superior).
