The initial price was 750 rupies, but as we stay for a long time Mr Arvind make us... More

Arvind was extremely accommodating to us! He arranged a complimentary pick up from the train station and allowed us to check in late and leave our bags when we checked out for the entire day until our midnight train. He even let us hang around for a beer late that night. Breakfast was served every morning with a veg option... More

This is a great place in every respect! The atmosphere, cleanliness, and location are very good. In particular, the owner Aravind Grover is most helpful and knowledgeable about the area, and his 'explorers den' is wonderful.
