Hotel Savera

Hotel Savera

10/10 Excellent
"The beds were really comfortable; the staff extremely polite and helpful. We needed extra towels which were delivered immediately. The deputy GM Vanitha introduced herself to arriving guests and made sure that the check in process was completed without any hitch, especially since we had two very jet lagged children with us. The food was a bit too spicy for our taste, but the breakfast spread was just amazing. The pool was clean and surrounding areas spotless; it was a pleasure to stay in Savera. Would definitely stay here again"
