Sai Pratham, Shirdi offers a fairly comfortable stay with a few standout positives and some areas that could use improvement. The staff are kind and genuinely helpful — they did what they could to make the stay pleasant. There’s good hot water, a working backup generator, and the location is excellent — just a short walk from the temple and all the gates.
However, the rooms didn’t quite meet the expectations set by the online photos. They’re smaller in size, the floors weren’t cleaned properly, and there was some flying dust. There’s no lift, which might be an issue for senior guests. The TV could also have a few more Telugu channels, as many visitors are from Telugu states.
The bedsheets could definitely be improved — they seem overwashed and feel a bit rough on the skin (though the blankets were fine). Overall, it’s a decent stay with kind staff and a great location, but better maintenance and small upgrades would make it much more comfortable.
