I slept so well here! The rooms are very quiet and my bed was very comfortable. The room temperature was perfect throughout the night and the staff were very kind and hospitable. The lamb biryani was the best I’ve ever had. Totally recommend!

First time visiting. Warm welcome and friendly staff. Great service. Lovely to have background music that wasn't too loud and intrusive. Many lovely and varied dishes to choose from the menu. Our lamb hotpot dish was really lovely and perfectly cooked. Was also lovely to receive warm wet wipes following our meal. A nice and hygienic touch.

A real gem. I was looking for an affordable, clean and comfortable place for a short stay. Very happy to say I got that and more. The room was pristine clean. Bed comfortable, temperature perfect, shower and bathroom spot on. And then breakfast was a real surprise with a bigger variety of items I had imagined for the price. Very pleased. Also, right in the city centre.

Beautiful rooms on this old hotel. Very clean. Full ornate bar. Restaurant was by far the best part. Wasn't expecting the incredible food! The service was excellent. Man held the door for my wife as soon as we pulled up and carried her bag to the room.

We were road-tripping nearby a few months ago and were in need of a late lunch, it was a great find and a great feed!Really delicious curry, all curry gluten free (celiac)! The poppadoms are safe too! Waiter knew what I was talking about and could answer questions confidently, asked the kitchen a question to clarify but was really amazing!Really recommend the South Indian Garlic Chilli!
