Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Outlying location — The hotel is 7 km from Panchganga Ghat and in a village area, so guests will need transport for sightseeing; walking to the ghats isn't practical.
  • Low overall satisfaction score — The overall rating sits at 7.6, and one low category score (2.5) suggests some aspect of the experience falls short for a 5-star resort.
  • Inconsistent housekeeping — Some guests mention that certain areas, such as under rugs in cottages and camps, could be cleaner.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not allow pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
