Gyors áttekintés: A highway-side transit hotel masquerading as a resort—bring earplugs and lower your expectations.
Értékelte @wanderwithpooja: I escaped to Lonavala for the monsoon and this place was such a cozy find. Waking up to that green view from my balcony was refreshing, and I loved that I could bring my pet along. It’s simple, budget-friendly, and the high tea on the machan was the highlight of my stay.

GYIK és rejtett tippek
Minden, amit tényleg tudni szeretnél a foglalás előtt.
Is there really a hill view?
Technically yes, but they are far in the distance. Your immediate view is likely the parking lot or the highway.
Is the pool clean?
Hit or miss. Recent reviews mention it can be dirty or have a 'bad smell' in the surrounding area.
Is it good for families?
It's passable for a budget stay, but the lack of an elevator and open staircases might be tricky for toddlers or elderly guests.
How far is it from the main market?
It is about 8-9 km from the main Lonavala market. You will need a car to get to the city center.
Is there a lift?
No, there is no elevator. Be prepared to use the stairs.
Does the hotel serve alcohol?
The restaurant serves food, but it's best to check current local licensing for alcohol; many guests bring their own for in-room consumption.
Insider tippek
- ✨
The 'Yoga Retreat' mentioned online is not a daily amenity; it's an occasional event package.
- ✨
Ask for 'extra bed' costs upfront; they charge significantly (approx. ₹1000) for an extra mattress.
- ✨
The approach road from the highway can be easy to miss; look for the 'Durga Parmeshwar Mandir' landmark.
5 dolog, amit tudnod kell az utazás előtt
💡The 'bad smell' near the pool is a recurring complaint, likely due to drainage issues.
💡Fan regulators in some rooms are broken, meaning it's full speed or nothing.
💡Power cuts are frequent in this area, and the generator is loud.
💡Room service can be slow because the hotel is often short-staffed.
💡The 'Garden' is more of a small patch of grass than a sprawling landscape.
