Questions

Before you book

How far is the hotel from Kolhapur city?

About 20 km, roughly 30 minutes by car from Kolhapur Bus Stand on a paved road the whole way. Rankala Lake is around 32 minutes, and Kolhapur Airport about 45 minutes.

What do rooms cost, and what's included?

Rates change by season and on weekends, so the honest answer is: tell us your dates. Message us on WhatsApp for the rate on those exact nights. Every room includes an attached bathroom with hot water, Wi-Fi and free parking.

Can I book online, or do I have to message you?

Both work. Booking online gives you instant confirmation. WhatsApp is better if you want to see photos of the room first, ask about a specific date, or sort out a group booking.

Can I see real photos of the actual room before booking?

Yes, that's the point of asking us. Send your dates and room type on WhatsApp, and we'll share current photos of that room category before you pay anything.

Is food available? Veg and non-veg?

Yes, there's an in-house restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, with both veg and non-veg. Message us for current timings and the menu before you travel.

Is it suitable for families and elderly parents?

Yes. Family rooms sleep more, parking is on site so there's no long walk with luggage, and the restaurant is on the property. Panhala town surrounds us, so you don't need to carry supplies the way you would at an isolated resort.

What are the check-in and cancellation policies?

[CONFIRM: check-in and check-out times and the cancellation window. Must match what Simplotel shows at the payment step, or guests will notice the mismatch.]

Is there parking? How is the road in monsoon?

Free parking on site for every guest. The approach is paved state road all the way up to Panhala, with no dirt track at the end, and it stays drivable through monsoon.

Is booking direct actually cheaper than MakeMyTrip or Booking.com?

Booking direct means no booking fee and no OTA commission added to your rate. If you find a lower price for the same room and dates anywhere else, send us the screenshot on WhatsApp and we'll match it.

Thirty minutes away. See it before you book.
