Location is damn good with the environment around with a greenery tea plantations, but the hotel & the rooms were in pathetic condition. The room which we stayed doesn't had basic curtains for the windows, also the rooms are not clean & hygiene for which they charge very high price.

On the day of visit, the hotel staff told that there was no such booking confirmed from there end and there is no such agreement between this online site Hotels.com. At that time, even no support staff available at your end. Very very disappointed experience.
