There are truly remarkable views of the rock from the pool area at this hotel. The 40-year-old breeze block exteriors are dated, but the rooms have been renovated with polished concrete and modern bathrooms. Lots of tour groups stay here and it's also popular with twitchers, lured by its resident naturalist who leads much-lauded birdwatching trips (US$15 to US$25).
Nonguests can use the pool and wi-fi for Rs 500.
