I stayed here as a solo traveller in mid April for 3 nights. When arriving, no information is given to help you get oriented with the place or it's surroundings such as maps or guidance or any verbal info on the activities on offer. They do have a painted map on the side of near the stairs but it is not pointed out. I booked a double room rather than a dorm which was clean and ample. There isn't much space in the bathroom to put toiletries, especially near the sink, but the bed was really comfortable. The plug points near the beds were temperamental and often wouldn't work. I did mention this but nothing was done about it. The lounge/common room was a nice place to chill out and meet others. I went there a few times in the evenings to relax after sightseeing. I stayed there 3 nights however my room wasn't cleaned once despite asking the staff. The front of house staff need to be adequately trained on the surrounding areas. I asked them for guidance on a few things, such as getting to Laxman Jhula, where to buy certain things from but the information somewhat lacked in accuracy. One of the evening staff was particularly rude when I spoke to him in Hindi, that he started laughing at me because he didn't think I would know/understand it. The location is really good, if you take the shortcut (which I realised after doing the long walk to LJ) it takes around 7-10 mins to get to Laxman Jhula. There are a number of restaurants close by and tour operators. Overall I think you could probably get better value for your money in places that have a few more activities on for guests.
