Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is reasonably fine but not comfortable like a Holiday-Inn grade at all. The rooms, however, were not too clean, especially the carpet. The location is very pathetic, but the main plus point of the property is being in Gandhinagar itself. The dining experience requires a bit of variation, although it was nice and varied compared to breakfast in other places during my trip to India.
My stay at the hotel was lovely. The room with a racecourse view, though it was a queen-size bed instead of the futon I requested for my small child, was equipped with the latest amenities. The room was a bit small but overall comfortable.
The hotel's location is excellent, right in the heart of the city with easy access to business areas and beyond. The rooms, although not spacious enough, were clean and tidy. The service had its ups and downs, with some hiccups in arranging transfers, but overall satisfactory. Dining offered good variety but became repetitive for longer stays. The facilities were accommodating, with some areas needing improvement.
