4/10 Poor
"We stayed two nights here and paid approx 20000 rupees per night via expedia. This was a very simple/budget hotel and did meet my expectations for what we paid. Missing a lot of the basic necessities including hot water, toiletries/toilet paper, no kettle in the room, no coat hangers. The location is good, walking distance to the beach and there is a nice garden outside the rooms. Breakfast was included and was decent."
