I am giving 5 star for a three specific reason. Service, humbleness and location.
Service excellence, Humbleness and Hospitality:
Vinaya's humble demeanor and helpfulness made the booking process pleasant and stress-free. Staff members like Nilesh displayed genuine care and hospitality, enhancing the overall guest experience.
Ideal Location:
Situated amidst lush greenery, offering a picturesque view of Honnavara station and the passing trains. Conveniently located near the highway, providing easy accessibility for travelers. The serene surroundings contribute to a peaceful stay, enhancing the overall ambiance of the accommodation.
Amenities and Cleanliness:
Utsav restaurant offered delicious vegetarian meals, ensuring a satisfying dining experience. High-quality water provided through their own RO unit, ensuring guests' health and comfort. Consistent availability of hot water and diligent housekeeping services contributed to a comfortable and hygienic stay.
Convenient Facilities:
Ample parking space in a clean vicinity adds to the convenience of guests. Nearby medical shop offers added reassurance for any unforeseen needs, contributing to a worry-free stay.
Overall, the combination of exceptional service, humble hospitality, picturesque location, and convenient amenities makes this accommodation a highly recommended choice for travelers...
Read moreHad a overnight stay at Lavender in May with extended family and we were in for a pleasant surprise as our expectations were quite less. We had booked 3 AC rooms each having 3 persons. At 2500 per day including tax (and no food), we felt it was value for money.
What works: Location is top notch as it just next to NH66. Back side rooms have a nice view of the Konkan railway line as we see the trains slowing down as they approach the Honnavar railway station. Ample parking with trees which offer shade for the vehicles.
No complimentary breakfast: This is actually good as you are not forced to eat at their restaurant. They next door Mai Kamat offers first class breakfast
Food: Lunch is recommended to have here and they have a good Veg and non veg Thali options. The Anjal Tawa fry was excellent so were the chicken items.
Rooms: Neat and clean and spacious with large windows
Service- Quick checkin and checkouts
Decent internet speed but can be improved
What doesnt work and needs improvement:
No Room service
Lunch took long time to serve (but probably a good thing as it indicates that they are freshly prepared)
No option for Preparing tea in room
TV has limited channels subscribed
Overall a nice experience and recommended to all if you are planning a day or 2 stopover...
