Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently situated near the Velankanni church and boasts a beautiful garden. The rooms, although properly cleaned on a regular basis, showed some poorly maintained aspects with stain marks on the bed sheets. The basic facilities are available, offering a moderate value for money experience.
The hotel is strategically located very close to the Velankanni church, offering direct church views from some rooms. The rooms, while having a beautiful garden, were poorly maintained with noticeable stain marks on the bed sheets. The hotel ensures regular cleaning to keep the rooms in good condition. The service, including car hire, dry cleaning, laundry, and tours/ticket assistance, was satisfactory. The dining experience, featuring smoked guinea fowl, was average. Overall, the place offers a great location near the church, but the room maintenance and dining options could be improved.
I was impressed by the beautiful garden surrounding the hotel, but unfortunately, the rooms were poorly maintained with noticeable stain marks on the bed sheets. The location was excellent for those visiting the nearby church, but the price seemed a bit high for the value provided.
