“What strikes me most is the location, practically at the doorstep of the Ellora Caves, and a comfortable distance from the Grishneshwar Jyothirlinga. While some may find the food just average, the spacious grounds and cottages create a relaxing atmosphere after a day exploring the sites. For those prioritizing proximity and a peaceful setting, this could be a worthwhile choice.”
