Kailas Hotel Reviews

The bed very relaxed, The hotel rooms I have stayed in have been clean but very small!

it was so nice to enter into such a welcoming ambience after trekking & climbing ellora caves..we were tired & dusty..the room was like coming home. the surroundings are breathtaking...morning coffee overlooking the valley & caves..lovely!

Best Experience: getting up in the morning to see the misty valley & caves ...sit outside with a cup of coffee!

Worst Experience: nothing soo bad that u talk about it.

Overall it was a nice experience.Me and my wife stayed at the hotel for two nights.We had come to know about this hotel from the Bengali Movie "Kailashe Kelenkari".We are avid Feluda fans and could not avoid living in the same hotel where Feluda stayed and solved a mystery(of course in the story).I know anyone who has not read Feluda will not understand what I am talking about but dont worry.Staying at this hotel is advantageous for other reasons as well Some positives about the hotel: 1.Cottages have a very good view of the cave so does the non ac rooms. 2.The over all ambience is very calm and quiet. 3.Enough place for children to play around. 4.The cottages have a small balcony with a table and chair to allow you to have a cup of tea or beer and view the ellora cave in the evening light. 5. The common lawn area is a nice patch of green with a swing and and some chairs and tables with the ellora caves in front. Negatives: 1.The food at the restaurant is very costly but is usually good . 2.No room service is encouraged though it is available if you want to call the reception using your mobile(no phone in the room) 3. The room is neat but very basic(in both the cottage and non ac\ac rooms) and you might feel that it is overpriced but the ambience and the location compensates for it 4. No TV in the NON AC rooms. For the Satyajit ray fans: As per the hotek authorities ,the person himself stayed in cottage#3 in 1974 while writting the story "Kailash Kelenkari" The hotek has the follwoing type of rooms details of which you will find on their website: 1.AC Cave facing cottages 2.AC Non Cave Facing Cottages 3.NON AC rooms with TV 5.Non AC rooms without TV We stayed at the cheapest one i.e. NoN AC room without TV(approx Rs 1700 = Rs 1500 + tax).Its a clean room,spacious but not luxurious by any means.The cottages which cave facing have almost the same view as the No AC room without TV.My suggestion is that if you do not want a TV and AC then the NON AC room room is good enough .

Best Experience: Watching the caves in the evening light while sitting on teh lawn swing with my wife by my side. The Puri Bhaji at breakfast. A Mr T Hussain who drove us to Ajanta caves in his cab had a good knowledge of the caves with Budha Monuments and who also acted in a small role in the movie "Kailashe Kelenkari".

Worst Experience: Having a Chicken Sandwitch for Rs 170 with only 4 bread grilled with a bit of chicken between them.

We stayed in the cottage which was really exciting and a different experience. Lot of things in Ellora to visit. location was also extremely good..,Staffs were also very good, courteous and helpful. Food provided was also very nice..,

Best Experience: Site seeing places where good.

We are just back from Ellora. We two families with 5 kids had been to this place, it was an awesome stay. They have their cottages, we took two cottages which has all basic amenities and luxurious. Staffs at the reception, restaurant and the ones during the room service also acknowledged us very well. Food was pretty Indian style and was delicious. The hotel was located close to many caves so we could cover most of them. Our kids had a great time. The view from this place can’t be explained. I would suggest going with your family and kids and enjoying.

Best Experience: Location is very close to many of the caves so the kids enjoyed it.
