Villa Krish

The location is fabulous, almost all famous cafes were very close by. We loved walking around and saw beautiful shops too. The building is a beautiful heritage with an elevator, though the pool and breakfast was worth skipping.

Cold breakfast and mini pool. There's parking close by as the local transport are ripping tourists.

I like the staff's behaviour, they were kind. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was good. We stayed in a suite room. It was great. The restaurant had a nice view and they were very friendly

I'm not sure if anything can be done regarding this but I'm sharing this anyways. The cellphone reception was very poor. I had an Airtel connection. It didn't have any network, so I couldn't make a call or receive one inside the room. I had to go out or use whatsapp for calls

Location, cleanliness, staff

The rooftop restaurant food for dinner.

The cleaning team were a lovely group of ladies—super friendly, warm, and always happy to help. The location is perfect, right in the heart of White Town and close to everything. The balcony areas are pretty (even though I didn’t have one), and the front desk were helpful, after I approached them on my last day, assisting with an ATM issue and arranging my transfer to Chennai airport.

A major downside was the breakfast situation, which I think is important for future guests to know. The hotel advertises a rooftop restaurant and breakfast on Booking.com, but this wasn’t actually available during my stay. I was told breakfast isn’t served on-site if the hotel isn’t fully occupied, which is quite disappointing and not something made clear in advance. Instead, I was directed to another property for breakfast, which was inconvenient. Unfortunately, the breakfast there was extremely basic—easily the most disappointing I’ve had in India. There was no real sense of hospitality, no proper coffee, and overall it felt like a very minimal offering. When I raised this with a senior member of the front-of-house team, there was little acknowledgment or apology, which added to the frustration. The room, although labelled deluxe, felt quite tired and dimly lit, and the TV had very limited channels. That said, the bathroom was spacious with an excellent shower, and the cleaning team did a great job keeping everything fresh. There was also a lack of clear communication from the front desk about things like housekeeping and breakfast arrangements. Overall, while the price is reasonable, I would personally have preferred to pay a bit more for a hotel with more consistent service and better facilities. The key thing to consider when booking is: be mindful of reviews on Instagram or YouTube—while the location is great and a balcony room would certainly enhance the stay, there are plenty of fantastic hotels around White Town offering far better service, often for only a small difference in price.
