Le Malabar Hotel

I am writing this review to ensure people have the right expectation on this hotel. TripAdvisor categorized this hotel as Luxury hotel which is not. I booked through agoda which was showing this hotel as 3 star. I saw the 4.5 rating in TripAdvisor, though from just 2 reviews which are old, and was misled. Probably my mistake to trust the rating in TripAdvisor. This is like a good lodge and that is it. They will give you a small soap and Rs.2 shampoo sachet. That is all the toiletries. AC was kind of ok. The wifi was pathetic sometimes showing the speed in kbps. The staff is not trained as it is not a star hotel. It is not their fault that they don't know how to run a hotel. They try to do their best as they know. No toilet roll. No hot water. If people want to stay in a cheaper normal hotel/lodge, this is fine. Do not expect a star hotel as some of the travel sites positioned them.
