We understand you’re likely spending a long time at Aura and may require linen changes or a round or two of laundry, drying and ironing. Our housekeeping staff can be requested for these as per your needs. Residents can request a load of laundry at INR500 per load. We recommend optimizing your request for laundry and handing over a ‘bigger’ load than an item or two.
