I booked this hotel / hostel due to its prime location near the Taj and reasonable rate. I booked a private room with attached bath as the photos looked decent online. However, from the minute I checked in I knew I had made a mistake. I did not like the company’s policy of checking in online, providing ALLL your details and pictures of visa and passport and THEN having to do the same thing manually at the front desk. It did not make me feel comfortable and was a bit annoying. My room was pretty underwhelming, while it had the basics, this was DEFINITELY a true hostel, the bath was pretty cheap looking with a super tiny sink, plastic fixtures and a combo shower toilet area that had no separator at all. The towel and closet smelled musty as well. The restaurant was also a huge disappointment with a lot of things that were unavailable, LOUD disco music playing until midnight (with almost no patrons), and more expensive prices than in town. My biggest complaint was the noise. Oh dear, until all hours of the night, you could hear furniture being dragged around, the staff talking and yelling loudly, running up and down the stairs slamming their flip flops, and this was the STAFF, not the patrons! Please train your staff and consider quiet hours policy for this hostel. Maybe this is standard for a hostel and ok for some, but for the price I paid I’ve stayed in awesome home stays across India that far surpassed this place.
