Yes we were tired after a long day from Delhi, and yes we were still finding our feet in India but the beds were hard, the pillows harder still and the sheets, towels and bedding were not as clean as they should be. I write with a little reservation because I have little to compare it to, but I do... More

The hotel is located between the city centre (the Mall) and train station. So, if you come by train and don`t want to take a taxi to get to the hotel, the location is fine (the Mall is several hundred meters uphill from the train station). The service was very nice, very helpful. The room was Ok, but for some... More

We selected this hotel through the Lonely Planet travel guide to India. The location was very close to all amenities, such as the railway station and attractions. The staff, from the cleaning staff to the management, were very friendly and helpful, and assisted us with arrangements for tours. They provided us with lovely refreshments, especially tea. Suitable arrangements for our... More

Its and average hotel, located just where the mall road ends. So location wise it is good. If you are travelling with friends and want to saty near the mall, then you can stay here. But i will not recommend if anybody is coming with family. Its a budget hotel.

The rooms were really humid and dirty....and in our room it was also raining inside. The monkeys are free to go around inside the hotel and they don't looks like happy to share the space with the guests. It is also a bit to far from the city centre....while many other hotels in the city are available...so why go there?

They didnt change bed clothes and clean the bath rooms even for a single time during the four day stay. People are freindly specially Rana... More

We booked into the Hotel Classic for two nights based on the review in Lonley Planet - it was not what we were expecting! The hotel is old, poorly kept and dirty with a faint 'eau de sewage' smell in some of the communial areas. We had one of their more expensive doubles, which did indeed have a wonderful view,... More
