Bayleaf Inn

The food was okay and the view was pleasant.

Location: On a small hill overlooking the area near Aberdeen jetty. Hotel: The hotel seems to have been renovated. Everything was neat and clean.Room: While not very big, it was adequately sized. Bathroom: Was very neat and clean with a a partition between the bathing area and the WC area. However, the lighting near the bathroom mirror could have been better. Restaurant: The food was good. Staff: Very polite and attentive. Would surely stay there again if we visit Sri Vijaya Puram again.

Definitely worth the price. The place is well kept. The staff are very accommodating. It's a small place but they do their best.

Our experience at this hotel was very disappointing, mainly due to poor hospitality and the restaurant service. The hotel has two restaurants: one on the ground floor and another on the fifth floor. The fifth-floor restaurant offers a nice atmosphere and a better dining experience. Surprisingly, the staff encouraged guests to eat at an outside restaurant rather than at the hotel's own dining options. The ground-floor restaurant was the worst part of our stay. The staff were unprofessional and unfriendly, making us feel unwelcome despite being paying guests. Breakfast was especially frustrating; although it was supposed to be served until 9:30 AM, by 9:25 AM most food was gone and staff refused to refill items, saying it was closing time. They began clearing food and turning off lights while guests were still eating, repeatedly asking us to leave to prepare for lunch, which felt very rude. Despite advertising an unlimited buffet, they even refused to serve a second cup of tea, which defeats the purpose. Traveling with infants made this worse, as the staff showed no support or flexibility and acted as if guests were inconveniencing them. The only positive was that the rooms were clean and comfortable. However, the poor service at the ground-floor restaurant overshadowed everything. I would not recommend this hotel for families with young children unless management improves the attitude, training, and customer service of the ground-floor restaurant staff. Hospitality should make guests feel welcome, not rushed or disrespected.

Great location, clean rooms, and delicious food!
