Our hotel had this small park-like setting separating it from the mass of life on the road and the hotel, although modest, was actually wonderful. The room was perfectly clean, cool (you pay, like, double, for the Air-Con), the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was big and well built.
There was construction everywhere (we didn’t actually learn why) and the roads were paved a bit down the middle but not enough for the traffic and there was no kind of sidewalk at all. And because of the dense traffic, every kind of locomotion from walkers and whizzing scooters to gigantic construction trucks, the noise and dust was really quite overwhelming. The hotel was a most welcome oasis.
There was another oasis – the restaurant where we ate dinner both nights. It was a tandoori place and everything Everything was delicious.
