Our stay at Hotel Shyama Grand Regency in Ayodhya was extremely disappointing and far from what one would expect from a hotel claiming decent hospitality standards.
We checked in on Diwali day, and there was complete mismanagement in the hotel. When we tried to raise our concerns, the so-called manager, casually replied, “Manage for a day, it’s Diwali — everything will be fine tomorrow.” This was the beginning of a very unpleasant experience.
The next morning, when we went to ask for breakfast (which was included in our booking), we had to literally wake Mr. Shukla up at 8:30 AM. His response was shockingly rude — “You won’t get breakfast, the cook hasn’t come. I’m not going to make it myself.” After repeatedly requesting, he reluctantly handed over three pieces of bread with almost no butter — that was our “included breakfast.”
The room conditions were unhygienic — dirty bedsheets, no dustbins, and no pillow covers. The rooms were filled with mosquitoes, and when we asked for a repellent, we were given an empty “All Out” machine. Upon asking for a refill, we were handed a bottle filled with sanitizer instead of mosquito liquid — completely unsafe and careless.
I contacted MakeMyTrip customer care to report the issues. Shortly after, approached me saying, “So, you’ve complained about me — they gave me quite an earful.” However, his attitude changed back to arrogance within half an hour.
When I requested room cleaning later, his response was outright threatening and disrespectful — “Move out of my way, I’m getting angry.” He even boasted that the property belongs to the Mayor, as if that gave him the right to mistreat guests.
Overall, the stay was terrible — poor hygiene, zero professionalism, and an extremely rude manager. I strongly do not recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Ayodhya. There are plenty of better and more hospitable options available nearby.
