Located close to the Mall, The Thistle Lodge offers a convenient location for tourists to explore the town center. Situated in a pedestrian precinct, guests can enjoy the peace and quiet while being just a short walk away from all the action. The rooms are cozy and receive ample sunlight through the windows, providing a warm and comfortable stay. The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, with modern fixtures. The host, Namitha, goes above and beyond to make guests feel at home, providing excellent service and offering useful advice. The traditional Indian breakfast prepared by Namitha is a delightful treat.

We got great value for our money at Thistle Lodge. The rooms were cozy, clean, and had lots of natural light. The location was perfect - in the town center but still quiet. The staff, especially Namita, went above and beyond to make us feel at home.

The morning meal could have been better with a wider variety of options.

We had the most amazing stay at this lodge! The view from our room was absolutely breathtaking and the breakfast every morning was delicious. The hosts made us feel right at home and even helped us plan our day trips. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the main attractions. The WiFi worked great and it was so helpful to have that option. We also loved meeting Baabu, the furry friend of the host. we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this place.

There was a slight inconvenience with the limited breakfast options, but it didn't take away from our overall enjoyment of our stay. It's also important to be cautious of the monkeys in the area, but as long as you're aware and careful, it's not a big issue.
