The Pride Hotel, Richmond road
:- I personally recommend my blog visitor to stay in This hotel. I have
booked this hotel for 14 night 15 days and I loved my stay in the hotel.
I stayed there as a business traveler for 14 nights. The
hotel is pretty new and hence its a good property to stay in. Nice
rooms & a good bathroom. They have a wide variety of food to
offer,and their breakfast spread is lavish as
with most others, but the taste is for south Indian food lovers.
Location is excellent and is very central.
