We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights during our Buddhist pilgrimage trip of India. Our rooms were spacious and relatively clean. The bathroom was okay, not the best that we have seen on our travels around the world. The furniture and fittings of the room and bathroom are rather old. Our air-conditioning worked very well and so did our ceiling fan. Our rooms have functioning digital safes for our personal belongings. The staff were helpful, at our request, they even helped us to bring our wet laundry(which we washed ourselves in our bathroom) to hang out on their rooftop terrace to dry under the scorching sun. Our pilgrimage package included breakfast and dinner at this hotel for the duration of our stay in Bodhgaya. The food that we received for all those included meals was very good and plentiful. On our first night here, we missed the dinner because we attended prayers at the MahaBoddhi temple from 6.30pm until 8.30pm. The hotel management was kind enough to give us a complimentary replacement meal in the form of lunch on our 2nd day here. They even allowed us to order non-veg dishes(Butter chicken and mutton Rogan Josh) for our lunch, which is more expensive than all the vegetarian options on the menu! The BEST ASPECT of this hotel is its LOCATION! It is located off the noisy and busy main road, yet it is within walking distance to the MahaBoddhi Temple, which is undoubtedly the main attraction of Bodhgaya and the main focus of every Buddhist pilgrim who visits Bodhgaya. If you do not feel like walking ***** the extremely busy and dusty main road to the MahaBoddhi Temple from the hotel, you just have to walk out of the hotel and there will be tuk-tuk's waiting to take you to the temple for a small fee(INR30 to 50 each way). IMPORTANT TIP FOR 1st TIME VISITORS TO BODHGAYA: All visitors to the MahaBoddhi Temple are NOT ALLOWED to bring CELLPHONES into the compound of the temple. If you have your cellphone on you, you will be required to deposit your cellphone at a booth outside the temple. This temple receives THOUSANDS of visitors every day, most visitors will be depositing their cellphones at the booth, therefore, your cellphone could go missing in the ENORMOUS PILE OF cellphones! Please leave your cellphone in your hotel room's digital safe if you are planning to visit the MahaBoddhi temple!
