"I have stayed for one night, unfortunately this has been the weakest accommodation I got in India during 3 weeks. The area was a bit smelly. I can't evaluate the breakfast cause they started after my departure. I would not come back."

"Stay was good, food and cleanliness can be improved. Good staff. But the road in front of the apartment was filled with water for so many days even though the rain was stopped. Hard to travel in such scenarios"
