“Old War Horse ! Needs a desperate facelift !!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012
5
people found this review helpful

The first thing that hits you after your hour long journey from the tarmac of Gopinath Bordoloi to this hotel is your struggle to squeeze into the lift which is in the basement of the parking lot ! Even though there is another main entrance, the watchman makes sure or pushes you towards the lift which is in the basement ! And he makes you ceremoniously walk through a metal detector which is just an ornamental piece and never works :-)

The hotel is actually nice but its been AB-USED a lot without paying any attention to give it a facelift, which it badly needs. The food is excellent and the staff are ever willing to help you. But the management is yet to wake up to the fact that its time to renovate it ! Swimming pool is in pitiable condition. The plus point is that this hotel is in the CBD area. And this hotel has a very friendly GM who goes out of his way to help you ! He helped me when I was late to catch my flight ! He spoke to the airport office and pulled some strings and made sure I caught my flight ! I will never forget that. To sum it up, the hotel takes good care of you and the management is still caring a damn for the hotel ! Hope they do something fast to uplift the standards. I rate this hotel 7 on a scale of 10

Room Tip: Opt for any room between 2nd to 4th floor

“Business hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

A true business hotel, located in good location, with neat rooms, good bedding, linen etc. However menu in the breakfast buffet needs variety. We stayed for 3 days and the menu was surprisingly same all the 3 days.Hosekeeping in the rooms also needs to be better to compliment the good facilities. I complained of noises of gas cyclinder etc from above room # 304 at 12.30 am. Hot water supply is also not good.

Room Tip: Definately not 304

“Excellent Food, Nice Location & Good Property”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011

This was my first visit to Guwahati and I was sceptical about the hotels there but this hotel and its staff ensured that I will remember the visit for long. The property is good and the rooms are spacious. The beds are comfortable and toliets are clean. I found the location as excellent as it is right in heart of city and in the morning it took me just 25 minutes from hotel to airport though budgeted 45 minutes at least. The restaurant in the hotel is excellent with lot of food choices with good quality.
Only thing which I did not like is that the buffet breakfast which was part of tariff was not ready till 7 am in morning and I had to leave to catch flight without the breakfast and this was despite I communicated in advance that I need early breakfast.
Overall the stay was good.

“High time hotel needs renovation & interior needs redisgning”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

If you are not looking for stained bed covers, bed sheets that smell, a tea that could have just made up for all grievances but failed miserably to do so, instead left you in retrospection what wrong did you do this morning. On top of it when you complain you get an impolite housekeeping staff to confront with; this is not the property you would like to plan your stay with.

The rooms look old and do not have a modern outlook; the curtains are old and dull. All the rooms smell of liquor & smoke. Situated in the market place there are all sorts of noises comforting you throughout the night, but I guess that would be the case with all hotels in Guwahati because most hotels are situated in the market place. Most of the rooms do not have a view. Some of the rooms open into the hotel restaurant area where you have this huge chandelier almost blinding your eyes with its sharp light. The washrooms are congested and the toiletries are of low quality. The check-in and check-outs are nothing short of harassment. The hotel does not have recreation facility and gym.
The only comfort was the in house restaurant food which is reasonably priced and complimented with polite well manned staff.

Overall would not recommend this property for a family stay, certainly not for families with infants and kids as the hotel lacks in recreation facilities for kids, not a great stay for business travel either. Individual travellers looking for short stay can spare it a thought.

Room Tip: Try choosing rooms on higher floors that might help to reduce the noise from the market, also mentio...
