My fist time word experience

haneesh k.family

1. While checking in, first question form Mr.Vipin, receptionist was how much paid for this? I replied Then he said maximum will be only if you book directly from us. Why you did this? (Also while booking I have selected 4pm to 6pm time slot. It was not seen in the vouchers. He said MakeMyTrip cannot do like that ) 2. After checking in No TV setup box in the room, requested and then bring. 3. No bucket in the bathroom after requesting, they bought a broken and ugly one. 4. Asked for kettle, they bought one, there was a small cockroach running around the kettle. 5. Some kind of dirt/dust falling from wall to soup stand. 6. Towel stand hit on my head, it was fixed at wrong place near shower. I have photographs for proving this. The brand value of MakeMyTrip become Zero.

rajesh c.family

Room is not worth No tooth brush, no tooth paste, no hot water in bathroom, no kettle and no tea bags for making tea/coffee, no chair in the room as there is no space to put a chain and the bed occupies the entire room. Food is good but behaviour of the suppliers are very poor as there is lack of respect towards customers. Complementary breakfast is ok.

Location is ok but the facility is not worth 3500 rs per night. They don't have hot water nor do they have sanitary items. The staff have attitude issues and are very rude. The food is not good and for breakfast they had very less options. Not worth the money.

Location as expected. Close to the area that i needed. The so called free breakfast was deplorable. Sourced from outside with reluctance. Apparently the kitchen services start only at 11 am. Hygiene- deplorable would be an understatement. Bath towels not replaced in these five days of stay. Room not cleaned either. Safety standards ok
