There is a guy name Kuldeep (Deep Singh). He says that he is a professional poker player and he will take you to the club. But he is just an employee of the clubs. The White Balcao has given him space for more than 2 months.

Very good

Great location & lovely staff. beautiful private room. huge comfy bed and best bathroom I have seen in india! lovely common spaces - tastefully decorated and great aircon there so brilliant for escaping the heat for a while. fab coffee! also helped us with taxi.

it was really noisy (not the hotel's fault- the noise was from outside) and the aircon didn't work very well in the room (but the fan was good). breakfast was from 9am - which was a little late for us (but it was available till 11 so we ate later and it was good).

Pathetic and misery

Nothing

Breakfast time mentioned on the board is 9 am to 11 am, where check in time and check out time also mentioned. But when reached at 10.40 am at cafe we were told they will not serve breakfast as timing is 9.30 am to 10.30 am. They told they have printed it and kept in some corner. Every individual in the the white balcao was complaining about all the time in morning. This has become their trend to save breakfast money and provide the same with extra cost to same or other customer.
