Having been a former palace for one of the ruling families, the ambience is very special and sets aside Shanker Hotel from other hotel. It has a beautiful park-like greenery with a pool. Tough it is very close to the city centre, it is totally quiet and peaceful. This was my third visit

The hotel is centrally situated, allowing one to walk to many places of interest, shopping and restaurants. It is also a heritage hotel providing a nostalgic experience. Rooms and the hotel has been renovated nicely (I was there in 2016). Could improve in the breakfast served.
