Bentley’s Hotel

Bentley’s definitely has the most charm of any hotel around, with old-school floor tiles and colonial wooden furniture in some rooms. The hotel is spread out over several buildings on Oliver St and nearby Henry Rd, and all rooms are spotless and come with TV and optional AC (around Rs275 extra). But the welcome is a bit harsh and the service can be indifferent – definitely a weak spot. Rooms come in dozens of sizes and flavours: rooms 31 and 21 have balconies overlooking a garden (you’ll have to book months in advance), while the cheaper ones on Henry Rd are a bit noisier.
