We visited Mahabaleshwar from Pune last Diwali which is the peak season there. As mostly all the hotels were already booked, we were not left with too many options. This hotel is centrally located, 2 mins from the main Market. When we reached Savoy Village, the manager told us there was only one room left. The rooms here are very old. The hotel is almost 30-40 years old and is actually an even more older huge bunglow which is converted into a hotel. There is a playing area for kids in the hotel which has some slides and see-saw but half of them were in bad shape. Although we were not very happy with the room as my expectations were too high, we didn’t have any option but to book the room for which we paid 1800 per day which was very less compared to other hotels in the peak season.
The plus point of the hotel is the food which is simply yum. The dining area is semi open and is a nice, comfortable & beautiful place to sit.
In our 3 days stay, we had food at several places in MB but the best was what we had at savoy village. The worst food in mb we had was at hotel Sagar in the main market(we had gone there after reading a review which said the non-veg food there was very good). Another place which I would like to recommend is at Pratapgarh Fort where villagers provide you with almost home made Maharashtrian thalis. They are worth trying.
Coming back to the Hotel review.a major turn-off is hot water supply for limited hrs in the morning. But when requested they provided us with 2 buckets of hot water in the afternoon. Room service is good.
The hotel is run by some Mr. Kumar who is a friendly person and guided us on planning our tours to various places in mb . free of cost:-) In spite of being busy with the hotel chores, he tried his best to chat with us whenever he could.
All in all - an ok place to stay at a very reasonable cost.
