Clean, well maintained and value for money. Breakfast that they are sourcing from vendor isn't upto the mark, so skip breakfast or meals plan and swiggy or zomato as per your choice. Owner responds immediately over the phone, and guides his best, about your queries. Overall I would recommend this stay, as it well maintained, clean and in a quite location.

    We stayed at Elite. Very good value for money and conveniently located near a Grace supermarket. We stayed here at the end of our trip, it was convenient to the airport and provided all the facilities we needed. Martin the caretaker and his family are friendly and helpful. The instructions on finding the homestay, including a video, are spot-on.

    The location is good. Communication to places from the Stay is good one. The location is neat and clean and the staffs are good. The hotel has proper connection as it seems to be in a posh area. As it is a Eco-Stay (Home Stay) and not having a Canteen, getting food/Tea is tough one as you have to move out to nearby market.

    Great hostel run by super friendly staff, the rooms and bathrooms are clean, the common area is perfect for chilling and socializing, and they serve homemade meals for a very good price. The location is good and it was easy to find with the staff's directions, lots of food options nearby, and it's right next to the Little Mount metro station. The only down side for me is that it was a bit pricey for my budget, but I really enjoyed my stay ;)
