“Unless you are a shoestring backpacker prepared to put up with filth - avoid!”
+The location is nice near the Ganges and the views from terrace of the river was pleasant. The bathroom facilities were good with plenty of hot water.
−While the up and down steep stairs make this place a challenge for moving about it was disappointing when the staff stood and watch as we lugged our baggage to the 4th floor room. However, the main concern with the property was the filthy condition of the room. The mats on the floor were putrid with a stench from brown stains. We had to remove them from the room! There were brown marks around wall adjacent to the toilet - not absolutely sure what the were but we did clean them off easily with a simple wipe. Red stained finger makes on the bedroom walls - again not sure what they were but it’s not a good look. Wifi access in our room was 1bar weak and failed to connect most of the time. The pictures on B.C are not representative of the current condition of the property and there is construction happening on the adjacent property. Pool empty and surrounded by mud not grass. This place has fallen a long way from it LP recommended haydays!

+Just view
−Cleanliness, basic amenities, late night noise, open ventilation (privacy disturbed), small insects, dirty cushions cover, dirty chair cushions, paintless doors etc. In short - trying to cover old property.
