In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Location is the standout — Guests repeatedly call the position unbeatable, especially for the US Visa consulate and city centre. It’s within a 10-minute drive of Vivekananda House Museum, and surrounded by restaurants and eateries.
- Friendly and courteous staff — Multiple reviews highlight polite, gentle, and highly courteous staff who help make stays pleasant, especially for solo business travellers.
- Clean and well-kept rooms — Rooms are described as neat, clean, and beautifully maintained, with practical touches like flat-screen TVs, satellite TV, and dining areas in some units.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Surrounding area is rough around the edges — One guest noted the location was 'magnificent in a slum like area', suggesting the immediate neighbourhood may feel unpolished or gritty, even if the hotel itself is fine.
- Basic amenities and room variations — Some rooms lack air conditioning (fan-only options), and certain room types come without a balcony or even a shower. If you need specific features, check the room details carefully.
- Mixed value for the price point — With a guest rating of 7.6 and a price from £13, the property sits below the local area average of 6.5 – but some guests note the experience can vary, especially if you expect more than a basic stay.
