Hotel in zona Play Ground, Chickmagalur

I am listing the deficiencies in Treebo Sunrise, Chikamaglur. 1) Staff and ***ager are very rude. There is absolutely '0' % concept of Hospitality or Customer Service. I am pretty sure they have no clue what that is. 2) Rooms are dirty and the accessories such as Towels etc. are in a bad shape. 3) Amenities such as TV, AC, Shower etc. Are not working. 4) Breakfast is served as if they are giving it to beggars. Coffee and Tea is served only half a cup and we are told that ' Free you get this much only '. As I understand breakfast is paid for and written as ”Included” and it is not complimentary. Also the breakfast doesn't have bread Butter or Cereals or anything else . Only Idli, Dosa and chutney and that also in limited quantity. I wonder in which hotel is this known as Breakfast. Ridiculous. 5) Parking facilities are also not available. The limited parking is barely 5 to 6 cars for a hotel size of more than 20 rooms . So we had to park the car on the road as per hotel instructions. Since we made a complaint about the hotel, they made the Auto Rickshaw guys fight with us, saying we had parked in the Auto stand and blocked our cars with their Autos. After apologizing for more than 15 minutes, when we were leaving, we saw the hotel staff and Autowallahs having a good laugh. Talk about high handedness and Gundagiri. 6) The rooms were not equipped with any basic facilities. Even water bottles had to be requested to be kept in the rooms. Prepaid extra beds were kept in the room only around 1030 pm . Well past our kids bedtime, and we had requested this at the time of booking. The list is endless, and so are our grievances. By far, after visiting more than 20 countries and the whole of India , I can safely say that this was the WOSRT HOTEL I stayed in. And yeah, when they figured out that I was taking videos, they turned off the electricity to the rooms, and so I had to take videos with the phone flashlight.

HIDDEN GEM IN COFFE PLANTATIONS We stayed at Sliver sky resort for new year eve from 31st dec to 3rd Jan. We stumbled upon Silver sky by chance, we had a wonderful stay, new year eve gala was well organized and fun filled, we even won lucky draw ( prize was free one nights stay for couple ) The resort is just 11 months old, very well maintained, the rooms are spacious and well equipped, and quality of furniture and amenities ware of top class, comparable to top resorts we visited in Maldives. The resort is amidst the coffee plantation with beautiful view of mullayanagiri peak( 45 min drive form resort ) from room balcony, you can spend whole day in balcony with a book in hand, resort is 20 min from chiakkamagalur city with good road accessibility. The pool was kept clean, couldn't use it much because of cold weather, but the play room kept us busy after breakfast and dinner. Food was great Chef Ashok was of grest help in getting the food tailored to the palates my European wife and kids and restaurant staff Eshwar, shivanand service was top class. the front office staff Mani and Pratap ware always ready to help us. We got a chance to meet the owner and managing director , she was a very nice lady, with preference for good service rather than money, rare to see in these days. We loved the place so much we extended our stay for one more day, we left the place with good memories hoping to return to Silver sky again in the near future. Pros : Easy accessibility, well maintained, spacious rooms, good service and tasty food Cons : Nothing i can think of , may be a heated pool ( May not be practical for south indian weather ) Room advise - Choose a higher elevation room for good views.

Our 3-day mini-vacation in Chikmagalur led us to explore various resorts online, and after much deliberation, we settled on The Blossom Resort. Despite being a bit of a drive (approximately 40-50 kms) from popular tourist spots like Baba Budangiri, Mullayanagiri, and Hebbe Falls, the resort's budget-friendly appeal and charming surroundings in a coffee plantation won us over. The resort offers ample parking space and spacious rooms, ensuring a comfortable stay. One highlight was the plantation visit activity, which provided a unique insight into the region's coffee culture. Although the distance from major attractions may be a concern for some, having a car makes it manageable. Overall, The Blossom Resort proved to be a delightful choice for our stay in Chikmagalur.
