“I noted its central spot in the city; from here, the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and other attractions are within easy reach. Air-conditioned rooms and the on-site restaurant, Sunflowers, are pluses, though some have mentioned service can be slow. It seems like a good fit for travellers wanting a base for city exploration.”
