The hotel is conveniently located next to a gas station and a small convenience store. Ideal for a short stay.

We decided to check in at the last minute and had no choice but to book this overnight hotel. It was a pity that we couldn't go to the stargazing homestay we booked before due to our own reasons! After arriving, the service was still good. After coordination, we were given two adjacent rooms. After entering, we were greeted by a strong "fragrant" smell unique to India. We quickly opened the balcony and ventilated the room. As for the effect, you can imagine. There is a gas station next to this hotel, and there is a good western restaurant opposite... This is all that can be reached by foot around the hotel. Fortunately, it was just a transit. I stayed for one night and left at five o'clock the next morning. But it should be noted that this hotel does not have a 24-hour front desk. If you check out too early, remember to insert the key in the door.

The attached picture is wrong and it is not our hotel. Online reviews are basically objective and a bit old, but there are many rooms. Easy to refuel.

Stuck in the 70’s The name sounds nice, and it is the only Hotel around of this size in that area, but man is it stuck in the 1970’s! You think they would’ve refurbished it by now and got in to the 2000’s lol. Reception was closed when we got there and had to go to bar to check-in, but had to wait for 3 people to be served drinks 1st.
