Escape to Paradise: Treebo Villa Inn Aurangabad Awaits! – My Honest & Rambling Review (SEO-ified!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I’m about to spill the tea (and maybe a little masala chai, because, Aurangabad!). I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Aurangabad, and let me tell you, the Escape to Paradise: Treebo Villa Inn was… well, it was an experience. Not perfect, mind you, but definitely an experience. And that’s what makes a good review, right? Not just a list of bullet points, but a vibe. And this place had a vibe.
Accessibility – A Mixed Bag (But Mostly Okay!)
First things first, let's talk accessibility. I'm not in a wheelchair, so I can't give you a definitive yay or nay, but here’s what I noticed. There's an elevator, which is a huge plus. Facilities for disabled guests are listed, so that's promising, but I'd recommend contacting the hotel directly to confirm specifics. The exterior corridor made me feel like I was in a movie, which is cool, but I'm not sure how that plays into accessibility. Overall, seemed like a good start, but ask for details!
Cleanliness & Safety – They're Trying, Bless 'em!
Okay, so this part is HUGE these days. Cleanliness and safety are a must, and Treebo is trying their darndest. They've got anti-viral cleaning products, which is reassuring. I saw daily disinfection in common areas. They even have individually-wrapped food options (a lifesaver!). There's hand sanitizer everywhere, and the staff all seemed well-trained in their little safety protocol. Rooms sanitized between stays… that’s the kind of detail I want to see! I didn't opt out of room sanitization, because, well, who would? My only gripe? I’m not sure how regularly they're using the sterilizing equipment. Ask about the details if you’re extra worried.
Inside the Room – Cozy & Functional (Mostly!)
The rooms themselves? Pretty decent. They have air conditioning (thank GOD, because Aurangabad can be a scorcher!), free Wi-Fi (which, hey, internet access – wireless is a must!), a coffee/tea maker, and even complimentary tea. And they've got those lovely blackout curtains, which is crucial when you're trying to sleep off a spicy thali.
My room had a separate shower/bathtub, which felt luxurious. There was a mirror (essential for selfie situations, duh!), a desk (for pretending to work), and a refrigerator (for the important things, like cold drinks). There was also an in-room safe box, which is always a good idea. My bed wasn’t the extra long kind, but it was comfortable enough after a long day exploring. I didn’t use the bathrobes, because, let's be honest, who does? And the slippers are always weird, but they were there!
The Wi-Fi was a bit patchy (but there was free Wi-fi!), and I did have to use my internet access – LAN a couple of times. The additional toilet comes as a must, and the shower was good. Plus, the socket near the bed? Genius!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - Food, Glorious Food!
Now, the food. That's where things get interesting. They serve Asian cuisine in restaurant, which is awesome. You get a Western breakfast option as well. There's a coffee shop, a snack bar, and a poolside bar (hello, happy hour!). Honestly, the breakfast [buffet] was pretty decent, with your standard breakfast service. I loved the Asian breakfast options – so many delicious options! My favorite was the vegetarian restaurant option, which served the most amazing samosas I've ever had (and I’ve eaten a lot of samosas, okay?).
The coffee/tea in restaurant was good, nothing groundbreaking, but definitely hit the spot. They had a bottle of water, which is always a welcome touch. You could order room service [24-hour], which came in handy after a late night exploration.
My only gripe? The buffet in restaurant could have been a little better. The salad in restaurant? It wasn't terrible but it wasn't amazing either. Oh, and one thing I did actually love was a desserts in restaurant.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax – Spa Day, Anyone?
Okay, this is where Treebo shines! They offer a bunch of ways to unwind. There's a fitness center if you're feeling ambitious (I wasn't, but it's there!). I did see a swimming pool [outdoor], which looked inviting (pool with view, even!), and, let me tell you, after a day of temple hopping, the massage was HEAVENLY.
I had a spa day and it was AMAZING. Okay, it's my biggest memory from this place. I had a body scrub, a body wrap, and a foot bath. The spa/sauna was great, and the steamroom was a fantastic way to end my day. I’m not sure the sauna was working all the time.
Services and Conveniences – Making Life Easier
Treebo has a lot of things designed to make your life easier. They have a concierge, that was super helpful. There’s currency exchange, which is a bonus. The laundry service was a lifesaver, because traveling with a big suitcase is not for me! They have daily housekeeping, and it wasn’t just a quick blitz; they actually cleaned! There's also a convenience store which is super helpful when you just need a snack.
It has car park [free of charge].
For the Kids - Family Friendly or Not???
I didn’t bring my kids, and I don’t have kids, but the hotel seems like it's suited to families. They have kids facilities and do offer babysitting service, but confirm the details before booking.
Getting Around – Easy Peasy
Transport? Easy-peasy. They offer airport transfer, taxi service, and car park [on-site] and valet parking.
The Quirks – What Made it Memorable
Now, for the parts that weren't in the brochure.
- The Staff: They were genuinely friendly, even if they were a little overwhelmed.
- Random Decoration: The room decorations were… interesting. Think "eclectic Indian meets budget hotel chic." Still, they made me smile.
- The Power Outage: And on my last night? The power went out. But the staff handled it with grace (and a smile!) bringing around candles and everything. It was actually rather romantic.

Kaohsiung's BEST Pho: Tau Home Base Revealed!
Okay, buckle up, buttercup! Because this isn't your average, sterile itinerary. This is my potential Indian adventure, centered around the supposed haven of the Treebo Villa Inn in Aurangabad. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions, questionable decisions, and possibly, a good helping of spicy food-induced regrets. Let's get messy!
Aurangabad Adventure: A Messy, Honest, and Delightfully Imperfect Plan
Day 1: Arrival and the Initial, Overly Optimistic Buzz (and the Mango Lassi Incident)
- Morning (ish - because let's be honest, "morning" is a flexible concept on vacation): Arrive at Aurangabad Airport. Hopefully, my luggage makes it with me. I'm envisioning that classic scene from a Bollywood movie: me, somehow landing gracefully, while my bag decides to take a scenic detour. Then the real fun starts: negotiating a pre-paid taxi. Fingers crossed I don’t get completely ripped off, or worse, taken on a scenic tour of every single pothole in the city.
- Check-in at the Treebo Villa Inn: Okay, the brochure photos look promising. Hopefully, the reality doesn't involve questionable stains and a leaky shower (my biggest pet peeve). I'm picturing a breezy, clean room. Maybe with one of those cute little decorative towel elephants!
- Afternoon: First mission: find food! I’m already dreaming of spice. I'm thinking a Thali, because I hear it's the ultimate Aurangabad introduction. This will involve a rickshaw ride (again, negotiating skills needed! and possibly a helpful phrasebook, the "how to say 'no rip-off, please' " version.)
- Mango Lassi Debacle: This is where things get real. I'm a sucker for mango lassi. Obsessed. So, of course, I order one with my meal. It arrives, looking all creamy and delicious… and it’s HUGE. I down it like a champ. Fast forward an hour: I am not feeling like a champ. That particular lassi, my friends, apparently had superpowers. Let’s just say, the rest of the afternoon might involve a close relationship with the bathroom (and, probably, a strong lesson learned about portion sizes). Pray for me.
- Evening: A gentle stroll, if the mango lassi situation allows. Maybe try and find a spot for some street food – the more "authentic" the better, even if it means braving the potential for Delhi Belly (which is, let's be honest, almost always a possibility).
Day 2: Ellora Caves, Ajanta Fever, and the Quest for the Perfect Chai
- Early (and painful) Morning: This is the BIG one day! The Ellora and Ajanta caves. I've spent countless hours drooling over photos. I have to remind myself I am traveling, and not in a museum. The plan is to hire a car for the day. This is where the "trusting the locals" aspect comes in. Hoping my driver isn't a speed demon, or a talkative Chatty Cathy who won't stop sharing his life story.
- Ellora Caves: The Kailasa Temple (Cave 16) is, apparently, the star. My hope is, I don't get overwhelmed by its incredible size! I'm trying to prepare myself emotionally for the sheer magnificence of it all. If I spontaneously start weeping, don't judge me. Probably just the heat.
- Ajanta Caves: Okay, slightly different experience. I’m picturing myself in the cool caves, feeling the ancient energy. This is where my imagination will reach epic proportions! Who knows what stories would be told?!
- Afternoon: After the Caves, I'll need a nap. No more talk, my legs need rest!
- Evening: The Quest for the Perfect Chai. This is my personal Everest. I will ask for every chai stall in the city. I will sample them all! I will become a chai connoisseur! The perfect chai is a spicy and sweet potion. That evening, maybe I'll just go back to the hotel and eat.
Day 3: Bibi Ka Maqbara and the "Lost in Translation" Food Adventure
- Morning: Bibi Ka Maqbara. The Taj Mahal copycat. Hoping it will be majestic and stunning. Again, more pictures, more crowds, more heat.
- Afternoon: More food. This is the crucial moment where I try the local recommendation. The menu is indecipherable. I try to point to something that looks vaguely interesting. I ask the waiter if its spicy and he laughs, "Little Spicy". I end up with something entirely unexpected. Pray for me.
- Evening: Last night in Aurangabad. Maybe I'll finally master the art of haggling. Hopefully, I don't end up accidentally agreeing to buy a camel.
Day 4: Departure (and Leaving a Piece of My Heart Behind?)
- Morning: One last, lingering look at the city. A final, desperate attempt to find the perfect breakfast. Maybe, just maybe, I'll stumble upon a chai stall so perfect that I'll be forced to consider relocating permanently.
- Departure: Back to the airport, hopefully armed with a suitcase full of memories, a slightly rumbling stomach, and a burning desire to return to India someday.
The Imperfections:
- The Weather: I’m preparing myself for the relentless, unforgiving Indian heat. Hydration is key. And possibly a constant supply of ice cream.
- The Crowds: Tourist spots + me = possible claustrophobia? I will need to embrace my inner zen. (Maybe.)
- The Food: The food. I'm both incredibly excited and slightly terrified, the best way to live.
This isn't just a trip; it's an adventure. A messy, beautiful, and hopefully, unforgettable one. Wish me luck (and send antacids)! And maybe a phrasebook. Definitely a phrasebook.
Escape to Paradise: Luxury 12-Person Pool Villa in Hua Hin!
Okay, Escape to Paradise...Sounds Fancy. Is this Place Actually Worth the Hype?
Alright, so "Escape to Paradise" is a *bit* optimistic, let's be real. It's the Treebo Villa Inn in Aurangabad, not the Maldives. But here's the honest truth: it depends. My *expectation* was, you know, a slightly-above-average Treebo, which is what I got. Nothing fancy. It *could* get a little noisy, and that's a genuine downside if you're after tranquility. But then again, I was there for a few days of solid exploring, so those noise complaints weren't such an issue.
Think comfortable, clean, and conveniently located. It wasn't "paradise," but it was definitely a solid base camp for tackling the Ajanta and Ellora caves. My personal experience? Mostly positive, helped by the price and the helpful staff, but don't expect waterfalls and white sand.
One thing though: remember that time I had that *awful* hotel in... well, never mind. This wasn't that. Phew.
Is it Actually a "Villa Inn?" Does it Feel... Villa-y?
Okay, "Villa Inn" is a *stretch*. It's more like a... *hotel-ish* place. I wouldn't go expecting a sprawling colonial mansion with a pool. It's a functional building, arranged in a way that is practical, with some rooms on the ground, and others on the upper floors. The word 'villa' seems an exaggeration – maybe a marketing ploy? I might be wrong, but I don't recall a massive garden or anything.
My room was comfy enough, mind you. Clean, with a decent bed, and the air conditioning worked (a godsend in Aurangabad heat!). But villa it definitely was not.
Location, Location, Location! How's the Treebo Villa Inn's Position? Easy to get around?
Honestly? The location was pretty darn good. It's *relatively* close to the main attractions, which is a huge win. Getting to the Ajanta Caves was still a bit of a trek, mind you, but the Ellora caves were more manageable. You'll need a taxi or some other form of transportation for either cave system. That's just how it is in Aurangabad!
I found it easy to grab an auto-rickshaw (tuk-tuk) or a taxi to get around, and the hotel staff was happy to help arrange that. It's not *right* in the middle of the action, which is fine by me (less noise!), but it's certainly not way out in the boonies. A nice balance, I'd say.
The Rooms! What About the Rooms? Are They Clean? (Please say they're clean...)
Okay, deep breath. YES, the rooms were acceptably clean. Look, I'm not a germaphobe, but I also don't want to share my room with a family of cockroaches. The room passed the sniff test and the general visual inspection.
The bed was comfy enough - slept like a log, which is always a win when you're exhausted from sightseeing all day. I remember the bathroom being clean too. Nothing luxurious, mind you, but clean, functional, and that's what truly counts! Bonus points for hot water!
Food! What Did You Eat? Was There Breakfast?
Breakfast... well, breakfast was *included*, and it was your standard Indian breakfast. Think: idli, vada, maybe some paratha, fruit, and the all-important filter coffee. It wasn't Michelin-star worthy, but it was plentiful, filling, and got me going for a day of cave exploration. I mean, you're not going to find a gourmet restaurant in a Treebo, but I certainly didn't starve!
Honestly, the real culinary adventure began *outside* the hotel. Aurangabad has some amazing local eateries, so I spent most of my meals exploring those. Try the vegetarian thalis! They're incredible. Just be prepared for the vibrant spices (and maybe a slightly upset tummy if you're not used to it! I, personally I was fine).
The Staff - Were They Helpful? Did They Speak English?
The staff was *generally* very helpful. The guys at the front desk were always happy to give directions, call a taxi, and handle any minor issues. English wasn't *perfect*, but it was certainly adequate for communication. No major language barriers. If you're coming from the UK, or one of the many other nations of the world where English proficiency is high... then you'll be absolutely fine.
They seemed genuinely interested in making sure I had a good stay. And when I did have one tiny problem (the air conditioning needed a quick fix), they had it sorted out in under an hour. That's pretty good service for a hotel in this price range, I thought. Really, they were attentive.
Okay, Let's Talk Money. Is it Budget-Friendly?
Absolutely, yes! This is very much a budget-friendly option. You're not breaking the bank staying here. I remember thinking, "Wow, this is a steal!" for the price. The prices were in line with a decent Treebo, which is what I was after, because I needed my money for other things! Food and travel in particular.
It's a great option for travelers who are more focused on exploring the area than on luxurious accommodation. And for Aurangabad, where hotel prices can vary wildly, it's a welcome find for saving some cash.
Any Major Downsides? Any Dealbreakers?
Well, the biggest downside, as I mentioned before, is the potential for noise. Location is good, but that also means you're near some traffic, and noise can travel. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs! I wasn't terribly bothered, but it's worth noting.
Also, don't expect fancy amenities. No pool, no gym (seriously, who works out on vacation?) It's basic, functional, and gets the job done. I had an early start at the Ajanta caves and Ellora caves, so the amenities were never the primary concern. The early starts were *the* concern!
