The hotel is beautifully situated amidst greenery, giving it a charming heritage feel. The rooms are spacious with lovely antique furniture and a nice view of the Betwa River, although they could use some additional lighting and sturdy doors. The service is generally good, with staff who take a personal interest in your needs, but I did experience some disturbances from other guests in the corridors. The dining experience, however, was a letdown, especially due to the lack of cleanliness and variety in breakfast options for the price I paid.
