This hotel is completely misadvertised and operates like a 3-star hotel, as opposed to its 4-star listing on Expedia. There is nothing "luxurious" or comforting aside from the free airport ride to and from the airport.
The rooms are dingy and worn down. Some furniture had an old used odor. Despite the poor interiors, reception staff and porters were friendly and thoughtful.
We had to change rooms due to a party on the floor above. Walls are paper-thin, so with the loud music, the entire room along with the furniture vibrated and shook like a dance floor. The staff kindly relocated us to a room on a lower floor, however, our new room was a smoking room (original room was non-smoking), so all the furnishings smelled of cigarette smoke.
The room configuration is strange. Dividers between the room and bathroom were very thin. Towels and toilet paper are rough; bed was firm; and hot water was very limited (warm showers got cold very fast). On a positive note, the toilet flushed without issues, the rooms had free bottled water, and the TV had a good selection of channels. WiFi runs on an unsecure network, the connection is very poor and very slow.
Breakfast is simple but tasty: idli, sambar, aloo, fries, eggs. Coffee, chai, and fresh juice were offered for beverages.
Thankfully we only stayed one night between flights.
Stay here if you want a friendly staff and simple breakfast; and don't mind thin walls, odorous furniture, minimal ambiance, and small amounts of mold.
