We had booked their luxury cottage, a two-room mini apartment. Rooms are spacious, well lit, airy and fairly furnished. Each room had a double bed, and a couch. There was a small dining table with 4 chairs, 3 of which had broken seats that toppled off each time we sat on them. The wardrobes are unusable and smelly - the height inside is so less that you can't even hang a shirt properly, forget any longer garment. In one of the rooms the storage is cramped besides the bed making it unusable. The mattresses are sagging and need a replacement. The linen is full of lint and dust, it seems no vaccum is ever done. The locks on the doors are very inconveniently low, you need to stoop down to even open them. It seems they were installed for midgets. The way to the rooms is via 2 flights of stairs. To reach the dining area, again you need to climb down and then again climb up the stairs. Keep this in mind if you have any traveling members with discomfort in climbing stairs. Washrooms are spacious but the toilet seats are miniatures, perhaps meant only for the kids. Towels are provided, and so is soap and shampoo (via dispensers). No separation of wet and dry area leads to an all-wet floor after someone has taken a bath, something very annoying for us. No floor mats are provided for drying feet inside the washroom. Taps, faucets are clean, functional. Both rooms have large windows, so you get a lot of light and also some hill views. But the balcony is reachable only via the bigger room. So, you need to disturb the occupants each time you wish to access the balcony. The sliding doors to the balcony are rickety, old, and barely functional. The balcony is the only small open to air space in this so-called luxury cottage, and usable when the monkeys are not around. There is no parking space inside the hotel. All vehicles need to be parked on the road, which is quite cramped. There is no gym, no indoor games, no spa, no gym, no garden, no safe area for small kids to be on their own. They have installed FireTV sticks on each TV in the rooms, but the viewing experience is not good due to the poor WiFi bandwidth. Breakfast buffet is humble. The pre-made tea was not great, but when we asked for it, we were provided freshly made masala tea upon request. The coffee was again bad. You can order an omelette, you get boiled eggs, paranthas, pakodas, daliya, poha, vermicelli, brown bread sandwich, cornflakes, some cut fruit. We did not find it delicious at all, it was very average food. We did order food from room service and again found it very average. Finally, we had terribly sleepless nights due to dogs barking constantly throughout the night. The 100 year-old windows provided almost no sound insulation. For the price (almost USD 140 per night) I would have expected- a much better upkeep, more polished furnishings and much better-quality breakfast.
