READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE BOOKING- I booked a room for me and my mother (aged 71) through Cleartrip for 2 nights(10-12Nov). Cleartrip after all discounts showed an amount of around 2981Rs. We hurriedly booked it by paying in full. We were coming from Matheran and hence was a bit tired. After the private hire left, we entered the hotel. There were two people at the reception. Immediately after entering they asked if we have booking. I said yes and then they asked who is it through. I said cleartrip. They started saying we dont accept bookings through Cleartrip(if they dont accept bookong through cleartrip then why are they online in their app??). Then I showed them my booking and after seeing the amount I paid they were not happy. They were not allowing me to check in, so I had to call Cleartrip customer support and after a long conversation with them, hotel agreed me to check in. After they took my passport(well they were trying to question my identity as I had British Passport) and OCI they allowed me to check in hotel. One of them while holding my iphone 14 pro to talk to Cleartrip customer support was trying to see the model of phone(no manners whatsoever!) After having a shower we got ready to go to Shiddhi Vinayak Temple. When we were about to go, one of them started drama again- that the amount I paid is for one night only so we need to check out on 11 Nov or pay an extra 2500Rs. The quality of room provided in ground floor was horrible( full of hairs in bedsheet) with a window from which a dark restaurant behind can be seen. However we did not complained still as all we were looking for is to stay in night and travel during day. My dad passed away last year, my mother is a bit depressed, so she is travelling with me for a change. But these bonkers have no sympathy for aged people. When they said that the booking is for one day only, I called Cleartrip again. I argued with them and made them agree for a refund. After the amount of disrespect the two Idiots at reception showrd to us, we were feeling uncomfortable to stay. At last when we did not agree to pay any extra- one of them were forcing us to leave like animals. Their website advertised Classic Room with Breakfast is 1999Rs for 1 night excluding tax. Ours did not had breakfast included and the quality of room they were providing in ground floor was not upto standard for 2500Rs mark(as the idiots at reception were claiming). Book at your own risk. I booked after seeing all the genuine reviews.
