Sanagam Homestay is a terrible place to stay in Prayagaraj. We had made a 1-day booking but did not stay in the place for more than 1-hour. We left the place and drive back to Varanasi after the Triveni Sangam Snan. Here are a few facts about the Homestay –
1. First of all the location shown is wrong and also the map link which had sent to me after the reservation was wrong. It is almost 1km away from the map link we had to walk double the distance due to road closures during Maha Kumbh – needs to correct the location on their booking page
2. Secondly the pictures shown are completely false
3. The rooms are on the 2nd floor of a tiny house. Steps to climb to the 2nd floor are very, very steep. So if you have knee pain, do not event attempt to climb to the 2nd floor.
4. The rooms are very, very small
5. There is no attached bathroom. One common bathroom is shared between 3 rooms and the rooms are allotted to different guests
6. The caretaker, is almost never available when we went there. He is always somewhere outside.
7. From the main road, one has to climb through a narrow gully to reach the house.
8. The entrance to house if completely dilapidated and broken down – the entrance is like some ruins from a 18th century house – all broken, roof missing, walls crumbling and a lot of dust everywhere.
9. We paid for 1-night stay and it was a complete waste of money. We did not stay for more than 1-hour in the location
