Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Promenade from previous guests about their experience
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Promenade is a sea-facing hotel conveniently located on Beach Road in White Town, granting easy access to nearby shops and cafés; some guests especially enjoy the rum raisin and almond biscotti from the bakery. The hotel offers a rooftop restaurant, a cocktail bar, a swimming pool, and even a massage parlour for relaxation. While most find the location ideal, some guests have noted occasional noise disturbances; nevertheless, the proximity to the sea and attractions like the Gandhi Statue make it an attractive choice.

The location was convenient. It allowed easy access to nearby attractions.
I found the room upkeep lacking. Sheets were NOT clean upon arrival. Basic amenities such as slippers and an iron were missing. You had to request them. The hotel fell short of expectations given the price.
