Warm staff, lovely public spaces and pool area. Great location
Room decor was bland. From when I visited two years ago, they have overstuffed the dining room area with tables and chairs, the beautiful elegant front room is now a over crowded with furniture, and the patio is the same story. There was a lovely inviting minimalism the last time and now it looks like a dining hall.

From the moment we arrived, the reception team greeted us with genuine warmth and professionalism, making us feel instantly at home. The Library Room was an absolute delight—elegantly furnished with plush seating, rich wood accents, and a curated collection of books. On the morning, we were treated to an exceptional breakfast spread, offering a diverse array of delicious options.

Perfect stay! The Grand Apartment Suite was exceptionally comfortable and the staff were very patient and quick to accomodate to our requests. The cocktails were amazing and we loved having drinks on the hotel verandah in the evening, very picturesque. Breakfast items were yummy and the pool was very inviting.

Breathtaking hotel - beautiful garden, pool and rooms. We booked the Garden room which was so stylish. The team are so helpful and generous in making everything as efficient and comfortable as possible. Breakfast was also excellent, and we tried some of their famous Arrack cocktails too. Highly recommend.
Nothing!

Great location to explore the fort. Pool was lovely. Staff were friendly and very professional. Amazing heritage rooms and furniture. Loved the bathroom and the scents of the toiletries.
Our room had a light come through at night time so I used an eye mask. Live music from establishments around the place plays until 10PM.

We had the best experience! Hotel staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The bar was a highlight for us and they made special drinks to appease my husband’s curiosity about the Arrack. Definitely a highlight of our entire trip!

Excellent location. Charmy colonial small boutique hotel. Shiromal was super helpfull and kind with us!!!! He is definitely the kind of person any hotel should have in their staff team!!
Isolation of the room was extremely poor and due to that fact we end up finding a big black scorpion (!!) inside our room... Although this place is charmy and georgeous boutique hotel we end up realizing it was extremely OVERPRICED for what it can offer!

Great location, old world charm, helpful staff, good breakfast and good cocktails.
A couple of practical issues which can be easily solved by the management: 1. Provide adequate lighting for shaving etc. 2. Provide a small step stool to help shorter people get on to the traditional high beds!

Lovely building, very helpful staff, beautiful room.
Due to the age of the building it was not soundproof so quite noisy.
