Disappointing Experience Despite Prime Location
I recently stayed at this hotel during a visit to the Bankey Bihari Temple, and unfortunately, the experience was far from satisfactory.
While the only advantage of this property is its close proximity to the temple — within walking distance — several critical issues overshadowed our stay. The approach to the hotel is through extremely narrow and poorly maintained lanes, making access difficult and unpleasant. Additionally, there was a persistent nuisance caused by monkeys in the area.
The hotel lacked basic amenities and arrangements. There were no food services available, and the electricity supply was highly erratic, with only about one hour of power followed by two-hour outages — making air-conditioned rooms practically useless. Torn and burnt bedsheets and an unreliable water supply further added to the discomfort.
Parking was another major concern. The hotel did not have its own parking facility nor did it inform us in advance. We had to arrange paid parking separately at Rs. 500 per day. Moreover, when we needed to leave early the next morning at 5:30 AM, we were informed that the parking gate would not open before 6:30 AM, causing unnecessary delays.
We were also not guided properly regarding local temple practices. Due to a lack of information and the disorganized temple entry/exit system, we ended up losing our footwear — something that could have been easily avoided with a simple advisory.
To add to the list, remotes for the AC and TV were not provided during the stay.
Overall, the location is the only redeeming factor. For everything else, the experience was quite underwhelming and not value for money. I would recommend exploring other options before booking this property.
