Quiet and pleasant; 3km from Ramamasramam”

It is well located down a small lane away from the noisy and busy main road. Although the view of Arunachala is really only from the roof top. Probably it is th ebest hotel that is not too far from the Ashram and Arunachala. The room themselves are okay, but do not have a fridge and the wifi does not work in the rooms only in the restaurant. The general cleanliness needs a womans. touch. As they have nearly an all male staff, the feminine care and cleanliness is missing. Most memorable thing of the hotel: the smiling waiter and the cirlcular layout of room around a (sort of) garden. The swimmin pool is also pleasant with towels provided.

Acceptable”

Het hotel is sinds kort (december 2022 is mij cert ) door een Amerikaans bedrijf overgenomen en is nog volop in verbouwing/beweging Nergens op de site of waar dan ook wordt dit vermeld. Bij het zwembad zijn geen ligbedden en parasols te bekennen. Het water van het zwembad is niet schoon te noemen. Als wij hier naar vragen krijgen wij als antwoord dat deze besteld zijn in Mumbai maar dat het nog zes weken duurt voordat deze bezorgd worden. Je kunt plaats nemen op een betonnen bank en daarmee moet je het mee doen. Dit nodigt niet uit om daar te willen zijn. In de vijver/fontein zit geen water en werkt dus niet, de tuin is niet aangekleed en doet troosteloos aan. De kamers geven, naar mijn beleving een opgesloten gevoel. Er wordt aangeraden om de deur van het balkon gesloten te houden ivm apen echter het nodigt ook niet uit om daar te zijn qua uitzicht. zo kan ik nog wel even daar gaan. Op alle fronten ervaar ik dat het ontbreekt aan sfeer en en voelt verloren en doods aan. Het hotel heeft geen ziel. Het nodigt niet uit om daar te willen zijn. Het geeft geen vakantiegevoel en daarvoor zijn wij hier. Het hotel is t.o.v. andere hotels erg prijzig en zeker zijn geld niet waard in de staat waar het zich nu in bevindt . Helaas waren andere hotels al volledig volgeboekt waar de sfeer ruimschoots aanwezig is. Qua prijs dachten wij dat we hiervoor een mooi stukje India voor konden krijgen, maar helaas viel het op alle fronten tegen . Uiteraard hebben is dit besproken met de manager, die op zijn beurt contact heeft gezocht met de eigenaar. Er wordt aangegeven dat er dan een paar bedjes en een parasol worden neergezet maar dit is nou niet echt wat helpt om de algehele sfeer te verbeteren. Het blijft een doodsheid uitstralen. Wij hebben deze kamer voor drie nachten geboekt maar na een uur op de kamer te hebben doorgebracht en koffie in de tuin te hebben gedronken Zijn we gaan kijken of we naar een ander hotel kunnen waar sfeer in zit.

It is not worth the money we pay for this hotel. Very unfriendly staff and manager. We had by mistake booked for wring date and called them immediately to allow for the change. They did not agree for a change and kept blaming the booking site and booking site mentioned hotel can adjust the date. They arebinto money making business.
