I had an excellent stay at Hotel Ambassador. The location was perfect, just a minute's walk from Marine Drive, and the hotel itself exuded a cozy, royal ambiance reminiscent of yesteryears. The service was splendid and very welcoming. I encountered some minor issues, but overall it was a nice experience.

My room was spacious and equipped with all the necessary amenities. I particularly enjoyed the vintage wooden furniture and the great view from the fourth floor. However, I noticed that the wardrobes were a bit outdated, and I would recommend securing your belongings since there was a slight wooden smell.

My stay at The Ambassador was a blend of good dining experiences and some room challenges. The brunch buffet showcased an impressive array of Continental and Indian dishes, highlighting the chef's dedication to quality. However, the rooms felt outdated and had a musty smell, which diminished the overall comfort. While the staff were friendly and accommodating, I believe there are better options in this price range.
