Mangala Heritage Retreat

Very impressed on line and therefore the reason to book online However there are some major concerns that need to be addressed. Health & Safety is non negotiable 1. The floors were wet and slippery because of moss. This clearly indicates,the negligence and lack of proper maintenance of cobble bricks. that too very close to the entrance way, where one would step in unaware after passing the waterway and can easily have a slip and for a family staying with toddlers and senior citizens, a major concern and watch out 2. Leaky roof in the corridor and one of the bedrooms on the right side. no safety sign of wet floors anywhere. Also wiping with wet gunny bag carpet didnot help. 3. our bedroom with an etra bed, the bed side lamp plug gave a shock and this was scary 4 no expertise even for a basic simple vegetarian cooking. Food was also served cold. We ordered rava dosa and it was such a disaster, burnt for all the dosas ordered. The last straw was during the feedback time, the response was cliched without any remorse or regret, as if we were doing this for a discount. Being from the industryI have the empathy and EQ to understand situations. To me this place is a good concept but a bad execution with no ownership or responsibility

The Mangala Guesthouse is aesthetic delight. Thoughtfully and tastefully restored, it offers swings in the inner courtyard and comfortably cushioned thinnai/ front porch viewing of the street and temple just beyond. Shifting washes of light on temple gopuram and tank gradually induce calm and gratitude. Offering speciality regional cuisine, this place also pampers you with friendly service. Surround by rare temples - from Divya Desham to Shakthi stahl to a Saraswathi kovil the Mangala Guesthouse is ideally located for those on a pilgrimage. It’s also a great place for reading and creative work. We’d love to visit again.
