Colonel’s Retreat

Couldn’t fault it. Lovely place to stay and a nice area away from the bustle

Staff was courteous, responsive. Room was comfortable.

Without prior notice, I was put up in a different building than the main building, in what essentially a large apartment. It is located down the street, but if it rains for example, making it to breakfast would be less pleasant. The kitchen needed a cleaning which was promptly done when I asked for it. Otherwise the place is less charming, but totally fine.

Great rooms and location. Ample common spaces to hang out in and great service by the staff. There is a lovely terrace where breakfast is served. Interesting art on the walls all over

The smell of lemongrass disinfectant was too strong and that could perhaps be toned down

The room was large. The hotel was close to a metro station.

We felt that we didn't stay in the hotel we booked and were placed in an overflow building across the road. The room we were given did not resemble the photos on Booking.com e.g. there were no pictures on the wall, it had generic and corporate looking hotel furnishings and no personnel or security on site. The complimentary water bottles were half empty. High tea was pretty pathetic with a few biscuits and a virtually finished cake. As we were leaving early, we were given a packed up breakfast which was a token effort with a pathetic cheese sandwich, a few scraps of banana bread and a carton of juice. Bearing in mind that this the most expensive hotel we stayed in over our month long tour of India, it was also the most lacking in service, character and value.
