Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean, pretty rooms with the comfiest beds we’ve experienced in India, at a decent price. However, service can be improved with less focus on tips and more professionalism. The location, set at the edge of the Aravali hills in a small village, provides a relaxing ambiance to unwind. Dining options are good, especially the breakfast spread, and the facilities are well-kept.
The hotel is a gem tucked in a unique location among village houses without big boundaries. The rooms boast real antiques from the original hunting lodge, offering comfort and cleanliness, although they could get a bit stuffy at times. The views of Elephant Hill from the seating area are breathtaking, especially in the late afternoon light. The service is top-notch with friendly and helpful staff, going above and beyond to make the stay special. Dining options are varied but could be expanded. The location feels like uncovering a beautiful secret with its privacy and natural surroundings.
The hotel provided a wonderful experience with its charming traditional-style rooms, historical ambiance, and modern amenities. The pool and outside areas were inviting, although more shaded seating would be beneficial in the hot weather. The breakfast spread was excellent, offering a good variety of options.
I was thrilled with my stay at this hotel. The rooms were just amazing with a balcony and stunning triple-aspect views of the local sleepy town, the nearby hillock, and the giant 'elephant rock' that we climbed in the rain at 6 am. The mix of heritage charm and modern convenience in the room overlooking the pool was a real treat. The service stood out with exceptionally cordial and friendly staff, offering a range of amenities with a personal touch. The location was like uncovering a hidden gem, nestled in a charming village and offering unforgettable views and experiences. The dining was satisfactory with an unforgettable rooftop restaurant experience. The price was a bit on the higher side, but overall, it offered great value for the money.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The rooms were fantastic with a spectacular little balcony overlooking the pool and hillside, and the staff was so friendly. The service was impeccable, and the food was incredible. The location felt like a beautiful secret, nestled at the edge of the Aravali hills. The dining experience was also good, with a lovely spread at breakfast. The facilities were well-kept and beautiful.
The hotel rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The staff was friendly, and the little gardens with fountains everywhere added to the beauty of the place. However, the atmosphere in one dining area felt out of place with the rest of the hotel's charm. Overall, a very nice stay.
