My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic! The rooms were superlative, spacious, well laid out, and offered a lavish and comfortable experience. The dining at the Rainbow Room restaurant was superb with mouth-watering dishes, although I wished there were more vegetarian options for lunch and dinner. The service was exceptionally polite and welcoming, from the helpers to the entire team, especially under the keen attention of head chef Mr Mohan. The location, nestled in the midst of the jungle next to the river Kaveri, was a true hidden gem with plenty of activities like playing pool, carrom, badminton, and more.

The hotel offers simple, cozy, and comfortable rooms with a unique skyview bathtub concept, though privacy could be a concern as all bungalows are on the ground floor. The rooms are well-designed and consistent with the great experience I had in Davangere at Southern Star, a wonderful place close to the highway with good food and rooms.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were clean, spacious, and exactly as shown in the pictures, with a separate sitting area. However, I was a bit disappointed that the living room had a TV but not in the bedroom where I like to watch TV at night. The service was exceptional, with the staff being incredibly courteous and hospitable. The location was perfect, near the market and giving a hill station vibe, ideal for spending quality time. The dining experience was excellent with a wide variety of vegetarian, non-veg, Indian, and continental options. The facilities provided were top-notch, making my stay truly comfortable and convenient.

The hotel rooms are awesome and very spacious, but there was a bit of a hiccup with the initial room assignment for our family. However, the separate WiFi with great speeds made up for it. The service was very courteous and hospitable, ensuring a pleasant stay. The location gave us the feeling of a hill station by the River Kaveri, yet it needs more attention to detail. The dining experience was good but lacked a bit more variety, while the facilities were satisfactory overall.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, peaceful, and very clean. I loved the great natural light during the day, and the bath with a sky-roof was a special touch. However, I did feel a bit of dampness in the rooms. The restaurant served a good variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, all located on the ground floor. The bathroom was absolutely beautiful, and having a courtyard was a lovely feature.
