Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Overall we had a very comfortable stay at this hotel and had a very good dinner in the hotel restaurant. Breakfast was also very good. One negative point was despite having the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on, room service staff entered the room whilst my wife was in the shower just to place a welcome note and fruit bowl for the next guest. This is totally unacceptable and not what I would expect from such a reputable hotel

Don't stay here unless u want to be spoilt rotten!

I can't begin to describe the level of attentiveness the staff at The Merchant House bestowed upon me during my stay there. Kudos to the housekeeping supervisor Jalapathi and the FOH crew at reception (especially Ahmed) for their customer service skills and to Veeranan at the spa. I'm so glad I booked this hotel. :) x
