Within, I imagine courtyards offering respite, Ayurvedic treatments promising rejuvenation. This feels like an intimate escape for those drawn to history, not just a place to stay.”

the hotel location is ideal. the hotel is elegantly decorated in a colonial style, its a fact.
the bathroom in my room had a dreadful smell i think from the drain. the staff offered we could move rooms, however, it wasnt worth the hassle. also, the knob on the shower to switch the water flow from the foot tap to shower head was broken.

underwhelming Experience, Style over substance

colonial designloud musicsmall pool
The building's architecture was quite excellent. It showcased colonial design nicely.
My room faced the pool and the music was loud. It felt impossible to escape the noise with constant music in the coffee shop, bar, and pool area. The pool itself was also quite small and offered little shade.
