Good hotel with efficient staff
The hotel is good, near a public beach, not far from the airport. The staff is helpful and welcoming. The breakfast needs to improve though.

Easy, cheap, place to freshen up
Had a late flight so needed a place to rest and freshen up. Lovely staff, they collected us and dropped us back to the airport which is about 10-15 minutes away.
Plenty cafes around the hotel and 30 seconds walk to the beach. Was perfect for what we needed and very reasonable price

Fine for overnight
Stayed one night due to late arrival flight before heading off the local island. Hotel was suitable for this purpose. Staff are helpful. Hotel a bit dated, but in neat and tidy condition. Would stay again and it is very close to the beach and food places nearby.

The staff are the best part of this hotel. They were so pleasant and accommodating. Shout out to Rehman ( think spelling ok) for lovely service. The transfer service to the hotel for pick up and drop off was great.
The property itself is what you pay for but we used this as a base to get to the airport easily instead of worrying about speedboats before a flight.
Only thing I could improve is soap in the bathroom would be useful.

Bedding smelly, overcharging for incorrect booking. Noise travels from other rooms and floors. Far away from anything interesting.

Good location.
Great location, only a few steps from the beach and the shops, cafes and restaurants in the area. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Was not told upon arrival that if I wanted the room serviced I need to hand in my keycard each morning, only found this out by asking after three days. Really good that fresh water was available 24/7. Breakfast was very limited. Bed was uncomfortable. No storage space in the room - if two people were staying in the room you'd be living out of a suitcase. Okay, but expensive for what it was.

No sprinkler system. Poor fire escape. 2 small windows opened onto small ledges. I was very worried for my safety if there was a fire.

Room was tired and dark, some lights not working.
Floor was dusty, do feet were filthy after walking round room bare footed.
The included breakfast was cold spicy rice, cold hardboiled egg, sluced white bread and bright red jam.
As a, comparatively, cheep hotel for 1 night OK, but would not want to spend more time there

Stayed here as an overnight stay for airport access after a week on other islands. Booked a superior double via Expedia. Hotel is very basic but does the trick. Getting the free transfer at the airport was very easy. Quick drive, friendly driver. Check-in easy enough & staff very helpful. I stayed half board & dinner was a very generous portion of Indian food. Breakfast was also South Indian style. Lots of locals come to watch cricket on the big screen in the restaurant. Room was very basic but works well as AC & fan are perfect for cooling down & the shower is refreshing. No hand soap so carry sanitiser. There’s tea, coffee & water in the room plus a fridge & a safe place too which is useful. International TV helps too. The beach is right across the road helpfully & it’s not strict on dress code. It’s a teetotal area but lots of great smoothie & coffee bars around to keep you refreshed. The WiFi works great in the room, less so in the restaurant/road.

The day i came there was no one at the airport even at the counter c11. I had to call them with support from other. Receptionist was not professional, friendly which is the key. There was no eskelator and breakfast is so basic. Room is tiny and very basic. Not value for money. Tour package couldnt organize as per list and i had to go outsourcing. Price charged for.adventure was higher than outside. I told that i will checked out at 11 am the time i chwcked in but day before i out they sent an text asking my out and telling 7 am or 8 am etc even i have mentioned 11am begining. Overall, except lolit, Sandip and breakfast serve guys found very well communucated and friendly rest found like not customer focus. Receptionist should be frienly well communicated and smiling which is totally absent. Owner should consider those factor to improve customers satisfaction
