Dads Bayview Pension

Great location, close to the main road. Very friendly staff, water refill station.

Built to look like a ship, coming from the road above. Sailor theme inside. It's an old hotel, but the room was well kept and surprisingly nice. Both the room and the bathroom were spacious. Everything was clean and the bed comfortable. Soap, towels and toilet paper were supplied. Hot shower. Excellent WiFi that worked everywhere. There's a generator too, and yes, there were some power cuts. I got my room early. Each floor had a free hot and cold water dispenser......and best of all, my room had a balcony. There's a rustic bar on the rooftop. Noodles and snacks available, and billiards. Friendly staff.

It was nothing I didn't like, but I think they would benefit from removing some red flags which could deter experienced travellers from booking. - it says on Booking that the property handles all payments and that it got to be paid in advance. Property will let me know.....and that's usually a no go for me. That bank transfer thing isn't quick, cheap and easy for many foreigners. But then, Booking.com took the payment. So easy that way - Got a message about a pre arrival form that had to be filled out 24h before arrival, but the link only opened up a totally empty page! When I contacted them, it turned out to not be needed after all. - Maps.me say OYO Dad's Bayview pension, and that's a huge red flag for many, especially for those who have been to India for some time. Once OYO even took money from me for a scam hotel in Thailand that did not exist. They had stolen photos from another hotel, and the money was taken through an OYO payment link, not through booking.com. - NEED some online cleaning up!.. but after all there is NO problem booking here.

Location, big room with hot and cold water. The shaped boat hotel.and the view as well.
