Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I stayed at the property for one week. The rooms were spacious but dated. Some fixtures need to be replaced (stained carpets, mosquito netting, shower curtains). Appeared to be mold on bathroom ceiling, and dead insect in bathroom on check-in. However, staff extremely friendly and restaurant was very good, although expensive by local standards. Wifi was sometimes inconsistent. Overall, I rate stay as average.

Ok but would not stay again
Probably would not stay again if I had a choice. Room door had a class panel on top which let light in at night and couldn't be changed. Plus you could hear noise from hallway. Bathroom shower area had some mold, etc. and needed a refresh. Restaurant was alright. Food took a long time to get. Breakfast was ok, nothing special. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The building is quite beautiful and has potential but the air conditioning didn’t work and water quality was very poor. We also had locked our room and found it unlocked the day we were checking out but no staff around - made us feel uneasy

International standard. Professional staff.
What a nice boutique hotel!! The staff members were truly professional and very well spoken, from the guard who you'd meet coming in to the front office, restaurant and room service. The rooms are very clean, well decorated and cozy (my photos cannot do it justice). I booked the executive room the hopes of a view of lake. You could spot it in the distance from an angle but this will soon be difficult with the building propping up across the way. Breakfast was awesome and the hotel ambience was something else. All staff members were attentive and always at my service if I needed anything. The personalised service provided made my birthday memorable. The room service ladies brought up the surprise cake that my som had ordered and sang in a very pleasant manner. I was very pleased. I got real VIP treatment that reminded me of many a international hotel. I was very appreiative of late check out which meant a lot due ot my evening flight. I got to enjoy the rest of the facilities before taking a taxi to the airport. I'll be back for sure.

While the hotel rooms are spacious and nice the maintenance is poor. There were problems with internet all through the week long stay. There was problems with hot water that took several days to fix. There is mold in the bathroom and bedsheets were torn. The hotel has seen better days. The staff were friendly and helpful but the overall stay was disappointing!

Quite impressed, there was positive change compared to my previous stays. The management seems to be working on the previous complaints. It’s a good property in a good quiet n safe location. Management should work on keeping the standards.

Can do better
The hotel is generally good only that they need to improve on being thorough with their cleaning, and service at the restaurant. Seats in the room had this strong dusty smell which was quite uncomfortable considering both my kids are asmatic. The hotel too need to focus on maintenance, i.e sockets, bathroom area. Restaurant is a big disappointment, Ordered for food and the first time the chips masala came full of lemon and was unbeatable. Second time ordered for fish fillet and stir fried chicken, the fish came in raw had to return it back, chicken was full of tumeric and uneatable too. The waitress serving us offered to call the chef for for us to explain our dissatisfaction and he declined coming up to talk to us.... and to make it worse we were charged for both meals. The hotel should seriously pay attention to their kitchen section.
