We recently stayed at Atithi Guest House for a day, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience.
The room was substandard, with dust accumulating everywhere. To make matters worse, the toilet was left in an unhygienic state by someone before we checked in. Although the owner, Mr. Tanmay, helped clean the room, it was clear that the hotel's management had some serious lapses.
The room itself had several issues - not enough power sockets, a non-functional TV, and a general sense of neglect.
The day manager, Shambhu ji, was helpful and accommodating, but the night manager was arrogant and rude.
The food was another major letdown. Despite being told it was home-cooked, the food was clearly not fresh. The service was slow, with wait times of 45 minutes to an hour. The dal was stale, the Jaipur aloo-pyaz was made with ready-made masala that upset our stomachs, and the Jira rice was dry and chewy.
But you know who didn't have to wait for their food? The foreigners sitting at the next table! They were getting the royal treatment - the house lady was fawning all over them, asking for their feedback on the food, and keeping them updated on the status of their orders. Meanwhile, we were over here waiting for the waiter to bring us water and plates. Yeah, it was pretty clear who the favored guests were!
Dinner was no better, with cold, undercooked rotis being served. When we complained, the staff seemed unconcerned and unapologetic.
Overall, I would not recommend Atithi Guest House to anyone. The substandard rooms, poor food, and arrogant staff make it a place to avoid. Unless, of course, you're a foreigner - in that case, you'll probably get the VIP treatment!
