Mangalore Hotels

Excellent hotel and amenities. Prime location. Loved it.

Hotel is clean and nice and near to panambur beach. Staff is good and friendly.

The Goldfinch Hotel in central Mangaluru, India, is a good business hotel with outstandingly attentive staff. Example: at check-in, two (2) uniformed staff members accompanied me to my room; one who carried my luggage and showed me the room's amenities in the normal manner, and a second person whose role appeared to be to ensure that I was satisfied with the level of service provided by the first. Example: A staff member, if present when I was about to use the elevator, would always walk with me to the elevator and press the call button for me. At least two fine restaurants are embodied into the hotel. The building is very attractive inside and out. However, my room was starting to show evidence of wear and age. Example: the brown ceramic tiles on the horizontal worksurface surrounding the bowl-shaped sink displayed obvious white lime (calcium carbonate) stains from dried sink-water spillage. Example: the fillet of sealant between the bottom of the bowl-shaped sink and the brown ceramic tiles was uneven and discoloured with, apparently, mildew. Example: the general level of cleanliness in the bathroom, including floor and shower stall, was only "fair" in my opinion. Hotel management may wish to consider providing cleaning staff with more effective cleaning products together with instructions on their correct use, such as lime-removing solution to remove lime stains from dark-coloured tiles, and bleach to remove mildew stains from bathroom sealants.

The hotel and room were clean and kept in good condition. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. They went out of their way to provide requirements especially regarding food for my 5 year old child. The food was fresh and tasty. There were reviews regarding the fish smell outside, but it was very minimal during our stay.

I stayed at this hotel in July 2016. It does not have a great reputation from the past. However, the hotel has been completely refurbished and everything seems brand new. Rooms were spotlessly clean, laminate flooring, high quality tiling in the bathroom. It is an excellent 3 star hotel. It is right in the heart of Mangalore on Falnir Road and central to everything. Disregard the bad reviews - they are probably by people who experienced it before it was refurbished.

One night stay, welcomed, good food, veg and non-veg restaurants.
