ゲゲストThe hotel is well located about 2 kms from the main attraction mahabodhi temple. We had booked deluxe premium room which was extremely good, well maintained and clean. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. The hotel had arranged for tuk tuk to visit mahabodhi temple and other local temples at rs350/ and we had good tour of all the local temples. The hotel also arranged for cab (rs2500)to visit vishnupada temple and magagowri temple and other places and we had a pleasant trip. Breakfast spread was good. The hotel manager mr ranjan was very friendly took care of needs. The hotel permitted us to stay till 1. 30 pm although check out was at 12. 30 pm overall we had a pleasant stay
ゲゲストAll and all we were not impressed. A Fawlty Towers gone to seed, or perhaps to sleep in the off season.
Positives: a good city view in our second room, and the room was a good size. Hallways and stairs were mopped every day. Staff was friendly. A nearby cafe frequented by visiting monks provided good meals at a moderate price.
Negatives:
Wifi did not work in our first assigned room/ floor, had to ask for toilet paper snd soap in both rooms, the sheets in first room had holes and were stained but we were then moved to another room/ floor for working wifi. Floor hadnt been cleaned in the second room and doubtful sheets had been changed. We also had no hot water the first day though manager assured us it would be fixed- it wasnt until next day when we complained again (complaining meant walking down to reception as the phones were not connected!) We requested the room be cleaned but it wasn't- the mgr forgetting we had asked … This was the ongoing pattern. Oh- the hotel restaurant was not operating, but given the overall slapdash standard of almost everything else, this was probably just ss well!
ゲゲストPros: Once we checked in and assigned our room- third one we were shown, staff were friendly and helpful. Food was decent and good value. Location was good.
Cons: Mgr at reception first checked us in and then stated Agoda had no record of us! We had booked with Trip.com which he insisted was linked to Agoda. Suggested we cancel the booking and pay him! Eventually after speaking to his supervisor/ Agoda, things were assorted, but no apologies given.
We had booked a large room with city view. The first room we were shown had no outside window. The 2 nd a tiny 2 ft opening high up, small room. Third room better, a bit bigger and more pleasant.
We had to ask for toilet paper and a 2 nd towel. (These were supplied for the 2 nd night and our room cleaned.)
No hot water in the morning for shower, two people came to ‚fix‘ and eventually managed to run hot water in the sink , to fill bucket to pour water on ourselves.
The mattress had no cushioning whatever, and we slept poorly.
Definitely not a 3 star hotel. The outside of the hotel promises more than the inside delivers!
ゲゲストQuality wise it is a good apartment for stay, away from direct main road, so the vehicle disturbance is almost zero. The behavior of the owner is well good. A bathtub is available in bathroom. Two to three car parking is available. Fooding arrangements and mahabodhi temple is within 2-3km and e-riksha is available till 10pm.
