Hotel Review - Kanthi Resorts, Bagalkot

Bagalkot is not a big tourist hub nor a significant business destination, so i was a bit wary about my stay here before booking. 

Kanthi resorts seemed like a good option while checking online and i decided to go ahead with the booking.

Bagalkot now has a navnagar area where they plan to relocate the town to keep it from submerging in the almatty dam, and this is where the resort is located. 

Infact it is slightly on the outskirts- on the Hubli highway and an unlit board guiding us into the property was difficult to find at night. 

The resort is still work in progress I’d say, looked unfinished. There is no greenery to speak of. It has a couple of blocks, one housing the rooms and the reception area and another for the restaurant.

The check in and check out was good and smooth, staff speaks good English. 

The entire property and rooms are extremely neat and clean which was a delight to see. 

The room itself was a pleasant surprise too.

It was a really large room with a big bed, couple of sofa seats and a table, a wall mounted flat screen tv with Tata Sky HD box. AC was powerful, lots of place to keep your luggage, a cupboard too.

Bathroom was huge and towels, bed linen etc were clean. 

And the sleep comfort was ultimate, it is hard to believe the fabulous fiber pillows and memory foam mattress which was used. I slept like a baby.

Service is good, though they don’t have telephone in the room strangely. Staff is helpful, and friendly. 

I ordered for some food and beer in the room. 

Yes, they have a bar too.

The chicken starter was not so good as the outer portion was overcooked and chicken was hard too. It had an interesting decoration though.

The chicken biryani served with raita was better in taste, but still not very happy with the quality of the chicken.

They have a swimming pool also which is accessible by guests. A waterpark is also part of the property and I’d recommend the hotel to upgrade themselves just a wee bit and market it well, and it is sure to do well.

The value for money proposition was phenomenal as a single room with the above mentioned facilities cost just 1600 for a night, wow!

Badami is quite nearby, so it is worth visiting for its history and archaeological significance.

Rating – A bit generous but 5/5
