Country Inns & Suites By Radisson Manipal

The staff were very good. Quick check-in. The person who accompanies us to the room was extremely good (sorry, I did not ask the name, somebody who worked as security in Mangalore previously). He was very pleasant and extremely courteous; he helped us throughout in luggage and vehicle, offered us a welcome drink, offered to show the rooms and choose the spacious one for 3 people, and spoke to us. Hassle-free check-out, extremely polite reception staff, good room service, great coffee, good breakfast (especially the vadas were perfect). (clean rooms, good lights, good furniture, aesthetics). This is our third time here and it still remains the best option in Manipal.

The rooms were of regular size. The furniture and linen was of good rich quality and subtle mature colours. The AC was a relief for the hot and humid weather outside. The bathroom finishing is important for me and it certainly did not disappoint the Raddison brand. Well done designers! Breakfast had a wide variety. There was a buffet and you could order additional fresh items from the kitchen. We had a total of 4 breakfasts and some items changed the next day to give variety. Mr D'Souza, the restuarant manager took care to give personalised custom to the diners. Every waiter was courteous and helpful. Perfect. 2nd stay for me. Will come back again. We ordered some in-house dining like freshly prepared tea and lunch. The quality was really really good.. and the price was equal to what I would have paid for a regular restuarant in Bangalore! I'm pleasantly surprised.

The hotel is as advertised. Its a 4 star hotel in India and not everything is perfect, but for what it lacks in the quality of the rooms, it more then makes up with the polite and welcoming staff. I have travelled a lot and this has been by far the most pleasant experience when it comes to people working in the hotel. Everyone, from the restaurant to the cleaning staff, everyone is super nice and helpful. Restaurant has amazing food, masseuse is great quality, rarely you find something so good in the hotel. And I want to give a special thank you to Kanak, I am not sure what her role exactly was, but she was there in the reception helping visitors with anything you needed. Her genuine attention and care have made my stay in this hotel, the best hotel experiences so far. She is just a trainee and already way more professional than any hotel staff you find in luxury European hotels. If I am ever back in Udupi area, this is definitely the hotel I am staying at.

Breakfast was excellent. Dinner was also good. Room thought small was cozy for a single occupant. Bathroom was nice and clean and spacious with clean towels. Air conditioning was good and effective. O overall I had a good experience.

The quality of food was excellent, the variety of food available was good. The Breakfast buffet had good spread between South Indian, North Indian, English, and Chinese dishes. With regards to room service, Quantity of food was apt for the family and the staff suggested and helped to choose the appropriate amount of food to avoid wastage.
