The building is antique and very pretty, don't compare it to the shiny new Novotel across the street! But Taj really needs to put some effort into remaking this property. The people and the service is amazing, what you would expect from Taj, but everything else needs serious upgrading. The rooms are nice enough. The bathrooms are clean, but otherwise... More

Stayed here for a little less than a week, during a recent business trip. Loved the location of hotel and view of beach from the room. The location is such that each room would give a similar view. Staff was professional and courteous. The price was competitive.

The hotel gives you a taste of the quality of service you can expect from a Taj Property!! The location is very good next to the beach and you can really laze around and enjoy the holiday with a team that can take care of every requirement of you with warmth and a friendly smile.

Stayed on a high floor in this hotel for 3 nights. Great location with a lovely view of the sea and also the hotel swimming pool. Staff are very courteous and service is good.

I had a good business stay at this sea facing hotel. The hotel is initially owned by the Taj Group. The location of the hotel is really amazing with sea in front. Staff offered great courtsey. The food I had here was excellent. Signature dishes like Szechwan peppercorns added sizzle to authentic Chinese preparations. Over all nice and re-juvenalizing stay.

The hotel is located steps away from Varun beach. The property is well kept, great buildings and wide open spaces. The breakfast room/coffee shop opens out to a large verandah -one can dine outside and hear the ocean waves pounding the beach. The bar also has a nice verandah. The staff is friendly. One other good thing about the location... More

Stayed on a business trip here. We can still feel the old rustic charm in this hotel - Just like any other heritage properties in the hill stations. The rooms got good renovation and are quite contenporary.
