Treebo Trend Mountain Retreat Mahabaleshwar 600 Mtrs from Lingmala Waterfall

Hotel Mountain Retreat is located at Metgutad on Mahabaleshwar - Panchgani road, slightly tucked inside and perched on a hillside. Google navigation is accurate to the property but there are no sign posting on the main road indicating the property. Construction is fairly fresh and rooms are well appointed with a double bed and a sofa which can easily accommodate three guests. Maintenance of the property was far from satisfactory with red mud marks and dead insects all over the floor which were not found cleaned during the entire day. There is no hot water available in the bathrooms after 1200 PM until next morning 0700AM. So, forget having an evening bath as the temperature dips below twenty degree. There is a restaurant inside with limited menu options and complimentary breakfast. Ask them specifically to reduce spices unless you have a liking for extremely spicy food. They serve Poha (a flattened rice dish) or toast with butter & jam for breakfast but no eggs on order! The staff lack training and not warm & welcoming in their attitude towards the guest, especially the only waiter ***aging the restaurant. Overall it was an average budget hotel experience.
