    cozy atmosphere
    limited bar selection

    The hot water bottles placed in our beds each night were a lovely touch.

    It was surprising that the bar did not stock any Indian malt whiskies.

    There were plenty of bars and restaurants.

    Very historic hotel, I liked it. I booked a room with an exceptionally comfortable bed, a good heating, large windows, and armchairs. Spent here 4 really lovely days and would happily go back again.

    Excellent location right on the mall road. The room was large with all amenities like free toiletries, minibar, refrigerator, and a hairdryer. Staff was super helpful, always smiling, and attentive. Spa facilities were a nice touch. Great dining options with a delicious buffet selection. Totally worth every penny!
