Oktober 2018: Not recommendable! Stay away!
We spend 4 weeks in India. We stayed in nearly 20 different 2-3* Hotels and Hostels within this time. But this hotel was the worst and most disappointing on our trip.
1. The Location: Its near the Airport and next to a main road. Surrounded by a few pretty expencive Restaurants.
2. The Building: Nothing special. Just a random, typical old building.
3. The stuff:
3.1. The "Manager" at the reception: The most annoying and dumb person I met in India, who is additionally totaly overstrained. Starting with permanent calls, to remember us, that its time for dinner, which we of course should take in the hotel. (More then expencive, see food below.). Next to mention is his total ignorance of problems e.g. WiFi connection issues (see more wifi below).
3.2 The other stuff: Quiet slow, dont understand english, still always kind and gentle.
4. The rooms: The rooms aren't bad. They are just quiet oldfashioned. The bathroom facilities doesnt work properly, which is quiet annoying. Espacially the shaking toilet... :D
There were no towels and one missing pillow.. which we got from the stuff a half hour after telling them.
The biggest problem of the room was the AC. When ever you put it on, you felt like Jodhpurs Air Force is just in your room. Keeping it off.. wasnt an option either, since there are no windows to open .. so that the air would just stuck in the room.
The bed had some undefineable dirt on the bedcover and even some blood.
5. The Food: The price of the food that you can buy is upper average to expencive. Since the quality and quantity of the food is less aswell, its recommendable to eat outside.
5.1. The Breakfast is the worst I ever had. Fits perfectly to the hotel. You have to choose one of 7 options. Plus 1 cup of tea or coffee (ca. 50-70 ml). The preparation takes 25-30 min (when ordered after the main breakfast time!) You have to go down and order it. Then those 30 min starts. (Bad for ppl who have to leave in time and have to starve finally..)
The food is quiet less. And since you dont know which might be good for you.. its kind of a lottery to choose the right one. (The Sandwiches are disgusting. Avoid to take them!)
Its funny, that preparing 2 sandwiches with cucumber and tomatoes takes half hour. With 2 persons and no other orders. And they taste just bad. Dry and old bread. On the lower part were a half Pound of pepper.. you could barely see the cucumber below the pepper..
6. WiFi: Todays days most important item on each hotel to reach the family at home! Here you have 5 ports and a Lobby WiFi. Sadly its a realistic 2:8 chance to get a room with wifi. The WiFi routers who are used.. are to weak to send a signal all over the building. Being 2 rooms away from WiFi.. was already to far. Lucky for them, I couldnt write this text before...
So better make sure to have some mobile Data..
After all that memorable nice experiences in India and Jodhpur.. this was the only one I would like to cut out of my Memory. Just a disappointment. I hope this helps the future Me's to avoid those disappointing days. And mb the Management of the hotel tries to improve.
Best wishes from Germany!
