Best Hotels near बंदी मॉस्क, Gaya

We were to check in late in Kripanidhi. We were to arrive late. I called on the number in my booking, it went to their reservation office in Calcutta. I was given another number. This time a gentleman received the call and sounded very casual and got annoyed when I told him that I wanted to make sure my room exists since I was to reach by 8:30pm! Anyway, we reached at 8:20pm and after checking in, we were told the restaurant is shut at 8:30 so no food. I spoke to the manager Mr. Manjeet on phone. He was rude and said can do nothing. We were tired, exhausted and hungry. I wondered if the management which believed in Jainism cared about hospitality at all. Only then a staff suggested that they can serve food in the room. That almost felt like the Sujata-Buddha moment. We finally had food and went off to sleep. I’m all for the policies. But there is a way to put things across. Mr. Manjeet was rude and insensitive. He had no intention of resolving the problem. Anyway, the room was big, clean. The common areas were very well laid. The food quality is average. It’s a decent stay minus my experience with Mr. Manjeet.

We booked two rooms for family which mentioned that it had a common bathroom but actually it was a hall with four rooms with one common bathroom. Two rooms for other two guests so no privacy. Room rent was around rs 1800 per room with tax but the common rooms were not like hotel rooms at this price. It was on the terrace with no lift. It did not contain tv, mirror, almirah etc. Anyone in the terrace can peep into the room with the glass window. It is pathetic unless you see it. So please don't book the common room.

New hotel in Bodh ***a, big spacious room with new amenities.

The food was excellent. I had taken an AC deluxe room, which was quite large and a large attached bath as well. It is situated slightly inside from the main road, so you are free from the noises. Located less than a km from the Bharat sevashram sangha Gaya. From the main road, you get all sorts of conveyances. I went for pind daan, but had a day free so went to Rajgir, Nalanda and Bodhgaya. All three should be visited. But the roads are bad. As for the hotel, only problem might be communication, because they know Hindi only. But you will get a flavor of Bihar for sure!

Hotel Seven Inn may be a decent option relative to other options in Bodh Gaya. It's a bit hard to compare without experiencing other hotels. Importantly, the rooms are pretty clean with comfortable beds. There is hot water always and the general service of all the staff is very good. When one of us got sick the hotel even arranged for a doctor to come within 30 minutes. During our stay there were a few concerns others should consider when booking though: - A beautiful Vietnamese temple is next door and they begin to play their gongs around 4am which may wake you up every day. If you are a deep sleeper or if this is something you might even enjoy it wouldn't be an issue. - To enter and exit the hotel you have to walk through a very narrow 50 foot long small dirt pathway that leads between peoples corrugated metal & wooden homes. I felt a bit invasive and uncomfortable walking through an impoverished area into a hotel without any other route options. - The ***ager at Hotel Seven Inn gives off an impression of being very attentive and helpful to guests but it quickly became apparent that the intentions behind this service is to acquire more business. By the end of the trip we did not trust him and even found his demeanor to be almost abrasive. Upon check out he told us that his credit card machine was broken and that we needed to pay in cash. Only after telling him that we would be unable to pay then because we had no cash did the card machine magically begin to work. We asked if he could arrange a taxi to the airport and he told us that it would cost 1,200 rupees. A taxi to and from the airport should cost 700 max. As I told him, this was the first time in my month in India that someone had been dishonest about the cost of a service.
