⭐ Genuine Review – Hotel Kohinoor
I stayed at Hotel Kohinoor for about two days, and I’d like to share my honest experience.
When I first arrived, I was quite impressed — a staff member opened the door and welcomed me warmly, which gave me a very positive first impression. I felt I had chosen the right place to stay.
However, that impression changed completely the moment I approached the reception desk. The receptionist’s attitude and manner of communication were unexpectedly cold and indifferent. There was no smile, no greeting, and the interaction felt mechanical — as if the presence of guests was just an obligation to handle, not something to care about.
Over the course of my stay, I had to interact with the reception team around five to six times, and each time, the experience was consistently disappointing. The responses were limited to one or two words, with no effort to assist or guide, and in some cases, their tone came across as disrespectful and dismissive.
What struck me most was that the level of courtesy seemed to depend on the booking platform used. I observed that guests who booked directly through certain channels were treated more attentively, while others — like myself — were treated as though our presence didn’t really matter. This was truly disheartening and unexpected from a 3-star property, where professionalism and warmth should be a standard.
To make matters worse, the AC temperature control in my room didn’t function properly. No matter how I adjusted the controller, the temperature kept dropping continuously, making the room uncomfortably cold. It was impossible to maintain a pleasant environment, and this added further frustration
All the receptionists I encountered, regardless of shift, displayed the same behavior — unapproachable, uninterested, and lacking in basic hospitality etiquette. It made the overall stay uncomfortable and emotionally disappointing, despite other aspects of the hotel being acceptable.
I rarely write critical reviews, but this experience genuinely left me feeling hurt and disrespected. A hotel’s reception is the first and last point of contact for every guest — it defines the entire stay. I sincerely hope the management takes this feedback seriously and trains the reception team to treat every guest with equal respect, warmth, and professionalism, irrespective of how or where they booked their room.
