Good and easily accessible location, comfortable, overall clean, and good homely food, perfect setup/background for exploring the surroundings and pursuing one's interests. The prices are reasonable and the staff behavior is also quite cordial. Ample parking space is there, if needed. This is definitely a recommended place to stay in Shantiniketan, in my opinion.
