Stayed there for a night - we had booked 2 rooms. One in the main building, and other in a villa across the street. Not a pleasant experience at all. The private balcony, is not really private. This is a part of a house converted into a hotel. The "private" balcony leads to the out side of the house. The room in the basement - can get quite claustrophobhic. In both the rooms - the fans were super noisy. Will ensure you do not get a peaceful sleep on a warm day or in the event that you need to close the windows due to generator noise all night long. The night we stayed there --- at about 10.00pm there was a power failure - they started the generator for backup - it was crazy loud and went on for the whole night and the following morning util our checkout. So loud that we just could not sleep. Asked the owner of the property to look into it -- maybe put the generator in an enclosed area to reduce the sound level. I doubt that will happen anytime soon. The bathroom in one of the room was all wet when we checked in (late in the evening) and the reason given was super lame - they had reflooring done the week before :-). Even the "only" shelf in the bathroom is broken and resting on a single screw. The sheets / bathroom linen seemed decent but we avoided it looking at the room condition. The food prepared was quite good and reasable. The manager and caretaker were helpful when it came to food and helping with queries. Getting there is a challenge and needs some off-roading to do. The last 1.5km is in a horrible condition. So if you have a small hatch, then avoid this place. Also, there are no sign boards - the owner expects them to get within a few months. You have to rely on whatsapp live location sharing and manager, Nandan's help for this. Overall, except the food (nothing out of the ordinary but simple and tasted well) there is nothing much to look forward to. Given the COVID conditions still looming aroud, this place can be avoided. They need to ensure the cleanliness is maintained. Worst still -- the manager of the hotel smokes right outside your room. Saw that for the first time and was shocked. Definitely stay far far away from this place.…
Don't book this property for your stay as you wont be able to find it. Got stuck in the middle of nowhere, while searching for the location with no network, no proper roads and lights. this was the most scary experience i have ever had, they have wrong location on google maps, they don't even pickup call, or reply to any mode of communication when in need. we couldn't even reach the property and ended up staying at some other place. Don't ever book this property . #Boycott zostel.
