Sanjay, Feb 2020

Pros. good food. Great location, close to happening and culturally rich Assi Ghat. the area can be noisy. earplugs are recommended.

Cons. more electrical outlets- none were close to the headboard. The room size is small. improve on furniture and make it less clunky to give a spacious feeling in the room.
