I stayed for 2 days. The only positive aspect is the location, as the hotel is close to Vadodara station. However, when I visited, there was a bad smell in the reception area during my entire stay. The room service staff was rude; he entered the room without knocking and argued with guests.

The hotel has poor room service, and the staff member providing it is very rude and does not knock before entering rooms. The WiFi does not work, and there is no internal geyser in the bathroom, causing hot water problems. Overall, I was very disappointed with the hotel's services. The room service person even argued with me about using my own mobile data because the WiFi was down. The only positive is the good location, right opposite the railway station.

Review for Super Deluxe Room No. 201 - Stay from 21st to 23rd August 2026My stay was extremely disappointing.Right from the reception lobby and lift, there was a foul smell of a dead rat. The bathroom was poorly maintained - the wash basin drain pipe was faulty, causing water to accumulate constantly. The bathroom drain was located in the opposite corner, so the entire floor remained wet and slippery after taking a bath. The shower was clogged due to borewell water.There was no Wi-Fi in the room as the router was out of order. When reported at the reception, they said it would be fixed the next day, but nothing was done.The linen provided was of average quality and unclean. Mosquito repellent was not provided. The swing function of the air conditioner was not working, so I had direct airflow on me throughout the night. The geyser is not provided separately for the room but is common, so we had to wait a long time for hot water.Except for the location, the hotel fails to maintain basic cleanliness and hygiene standards. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone in future.

My experience during the stay was very unsatisfactory. From the reception area and elevator, there was a strong unpleasant odor like a dead rat. The bathroom was not well kept—the wash basin drain pipe was broken, leading to water pooling constantly. Since the bathroom drain was in the far corner, the floor stayed wet and slippery after showering. The shower was blocked because of borewell water. There was no Wi-Fi in the room because the router was broken. When I informed the reception, they promised to fix it the next day, but nothing happened. The linen was average quality and not clean. No mosquito repellent was provided. The air conditioner's swing feature was broken, so I had direct airflow all night. The geyser was shared, not dedicated to the room, so we had to wait a long time for hot water. Apart from the location, the hotel does not meet basic cleanliness and hygiene standards. I would not suggest this hotel to anyone.
