Khajuraho
Cosy rooms off marble corridors are tastefully decorated and come with mostly effective mosquito screens and cable TV. The cheapest rooms are equipped with 1960s wooden furnishings and have a certain retro style. Pricier rooms are pleasingly bright and have views over the courtyard garden. The best-value rooms are those costing ₹1500.
Good food is available at Zorba the Buddha restaurant and you can eat under the stars on the rooftop.
