    Pathetic experience, best to avoid..

    binayraj r.solo

    The rooms were just decent. Hot water was available and the AC worked, and the good things end over there. Let me tell you what went wrong. First of all the bed covers looked as if they were reused. I found this late at night after I had checked in as I was too tired to see the room properly. The Wifi never worked as they had promised at least for my floor. The room had a constant bad smell, and it was stinking of dirty socks., the staff did try to put some air freshener, but it just made the smell worse. There was some painting which is going on which added to the odour issues. The toilet seat was broken and was not clear properly.. the coffee cups were stained and chipped, and I had to wash thoroughly before using it.

    ayush a.group

    The overall experience was average. The staff was rude and so un-cooperative. In terms of room service, you can not expect anything from them, if you will ask then they will simply deny. Rooms were for survival only. Washroom was average.
