Best stay at the Leela. What a spot. Palace is right! Beautiful hotel. Service top notch, especially by the pool by a man named Chandra. He deserves to be commended for the stellar and personalized service he provides. Rooms are spotless. Breakfast buffet as well is great - order a cheese masala dosa at the station and you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful place and in top condition. There seems to always be some noisy conference or party happening at the hotel, so if a quiet stay is preferred suggest looking somewhere else.

Lovely hotel. Service was great in particular Bibek, our floor butler and Chandra the pool manager. Food is amazing but the only thing lacking is having a bar that isn’t ridiculously starchy or expensive. We decided to wander our round the corner and had a great evening at about 5th of the price
