Average Stay

The stay was pretty good for solo travellers to meet new people, but the stay can be made more cleaner (especially the living area) as it as broken tables for playing and books are damaged. If all these are taken care then it will become a perfect stay also.

Peace view and good people...

sumedh b.couple

Two of us me and my friend Stayed in the deluxe room — super comfy and clean! AC, TV, and a nice view from the window made it even better. Drinking/smoking not allowed in the room, but that’s totally fine — terrace is the spot for all of that, and trust me, the view from up there is mesmerising! The host? First class. Super friendly and always helpful. Had a great stay!
