Kannan M.
Tables are hard to get here since the place is usually full, so booking ahead is a good idea. There's no other bar nearby. The open garden bar is fairly mediocre, and while the restaurant has tasty food and a decent menu, the place isn't especially clean or hygienic. It's okay for an after-work evening, but not if you're after a posh bar. Management has plenty of room to improve, and I hope they make changes and do better as the business grows.

The price was very high at 1000 rupees, and the food was both expensive and poor quality. There wasn't even any food at the hotel restaurant on Sunday, so we were told to go to a local place instead. The room service was also very bad. We had a one-hour power cut, and there was no tap water. When we asked, staff brought one bucket of water. The cable service was awful, with only six channels clear and the rest distorted. We complained to the room staff, but nothing was fixed, and then the cable was disconnected for the whole afternoon. The hotel offered no discount. Better to stay somewhere else.

It now operates as Fantasea Hotels OYO townhouse 1090. The staff were okay, but the owner was childish and unprofessional. I felt it was unsafe for families and couples alike. Stay away, and don't book through OYO. Check in at the nearby Marriott for a much smoother experience.

The open-air seating is really nice for sitting and enjoying a drink. They give you decent snacks for free with the beverages, and there are chicken and egg options too. A good spot to have a beer and head out.

The bed was clean and comfortable, and the TV reception was good. Room service was handled really well. The bar and restaurant should be separated, though.
