Talabgaon Castle: "Best of India"
"I can't begin to express how incredibly gracious the manager and staff are and how hard they worked to make sure our stay was nothing short of magical. Do yourself a favor and add this to your itinerary if exploring Northern India. We went to Jaipur right after by car and driver. So this was definitely doable, even if just for one night. Be sure to get cash out before you arrive and come hungry. The chef is fantastic. They have a bar and a beautiful pool on the property as well. Safe travels! Stayed February 2017, traveled as a couple"Jing’s Residence: "Made a big mistake only staying one night"
This place was utterly amazing! My family and I stayed here for a quick stop on our way back from Xian to Beijing. We made a big mistake not staying here longer and we will definitely come back for a longer stay. The service staff anticipated every needs we had even escorting my wife to a store to buy some local dates they served. They even helped us bargain a price. After feeling ripped off by the local taxi getting there, they arranged for their hotel van to take us back to the train station. My favorite part was sitting in the courtyard at night and taking in the nice quiet atmosphere.The Island Lodge: "Great homestay"
We stayed there to do 2 days and one night trip for Mekong river tour. The homestay is on the small island with good secenery and fresh air. The room is well decorated and we had good service. Love to visit it again.Supanniga Eating Room: "Good range of dishes"
No regrets on decision to have lunch here. Pretty decor and comfy eating space. A good place to have meals or gathering with friends/colleagues/family. They offer a large range in their menu, so picking what to eat was overwhelming. Would visit again to try other dishes.Satri House: "Like home: in a prince’s former residence!"
"Staff is just wonderful, always going ""the extra mile"", if, for example, you appreciate an extension of your booked room to take a nap until it's time to leave for the airport. Food, both lunch and dinner, is most delicious. Rooms are spacious, quiet, all with wifi. Pools and lots of lovely areas to relax...Library and fireplace: perfect setting for a glass of wine,- or two... All in all: I wish them every success! They deserve it!"Tugu Bali: "My Tugu Hotel Experience was nothing short of amazing"
"I am very late writing this review, but i have stayed at the Tugu Hotel in Bali a few times now. and it is nothing short of paradise. The hotel itself is made up of a number of villas scattered in a tropical garden and each one i have stayed in was very comfortable and extremely well facilitated, the main lobby, restaurant and each room is full of beautiful and traditional antiques from around Indonesia. The location is great, its in Canggu away from the Kuta and Seminyak areas, located next to Batu Bolong Beach, with Old Mans Bar opposite, for me it is the perfect location and setting. Dining at the Tugu is also an experience in itself, the menu is extensive, from traditional Balinese, Indonesian and Asian dishes to a full Western menu. everything (including Breakfast) was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The staff have always been nothing but friendly, happy to greet you and nothing is too much to ask. I really do not have one negative comment about this wonderful boutique hotel. Great place, i will continue to stay and dine there each time i head to Bali. Thank you Tugu Hotel for making my stays perfect :) "SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Exceptional service"
The waiters were very helpful and explained in details on the dishes. Food was delicious and well prepared. Atmosphere was good. Chef personally greeted us a few times at the table and even walked us to the door when we left.Villa Song Saigon: "Cheerful Place"
We really spent a beautiful time in this hotel. The staff are always there for us, any time, any moment. They are very helpful and friendly, professional and very nice, they were always smiling and happy. Breakfast and meals at the restaurant were just perfect presented and so tasty too. Room is clean and spacious, furnished with antiques and are very comfortable. Wifi is free, air-conditioning is quiet and the bathrooms are all you could wish for. There is a beautiful garden courtyard with as well as an view to the river. Every corner in the hotel has something spiritual and nice. This is a best hotel we ever stayed with charm and has nothing to do with those big and tourists hotels. We were really happy and i hope to be back soon.SEEDS Restaurant & Lounge: "Great fine dining in Yangon"
Together with Le Planteur this is the best fine dining in Yangon. We went here for an early Saturday lunch. The business set lunch menu is priced at a good level. Affordable for frequent visits. I chose the Norwegian salmon entry and beef stew as main course. Wife selected the scallop soup and ravioli. All dishes were tasty and good. Also plenty of really nice bread and a taste of pumpkin soup were served. All in all a really good food in beautiful location, scenery and decor. Wish Seeds could tone down their rediculous organic focus which is not very suitable in a country depending on sustainable agriculture growth and where deforestation is an issue. Nevertheless, we hope to come back again soon for another great lunch or dinner experience.Mume: "definitely creative and top 10 Taipei"
"It is hard to understand how the restaurant could be rated anything less than 5 stars. The food is definitely creatively presented, ingredients atypical and the flavours wonderful. This all leads to great tasting food in a classy yet casual environment. My favorite was the beef short ribs and the Mume salade terrific. The night before I ate at Le Blanc, which is the sister restaurant for steak frites and lobster. Mume is about double or triple the price of Le Blanc and the food is not necessarily that much better, however Mume is for a more special occasion. Definitely recommend and you are paying full price."
