The property was very well maintained. I had booked 3 rooms and we were given rooms on first floor next to each other. The rooms very extremely spacious and beautifully decorated and with extra beds just felt so comfortable. Housekeeping staff and front desk ws polite. For food we only had buffet breakfast that was included in our booking. Food was very average in taste even though there was variety and bad service in restaurant just added to it. Swimming pool and spa was not open due to covid but kids enjoyed in play area. All in all an excellent hote!!

Good experience. Very spacious rooms, comfortable. The toiletries could be better arranged like the sand for each room. I had two rooms for my family and found different arrangements in both of them. The chef deserves applause for a beautifully turned out breakfast buffet. The staff is cordial and helpful.

Expected more from a Sarovar Portico , a 4-star rated hotel. To start, front door was creaking and hard to close, the wall remote for the AC was not working. It was promptly attended to. TV channels didn’t have subscription to any English news channels. No foot rug anywhere, not even a bath mat coming out of the shower, you leave a trail of wet footsteps all over the room. The shampoo and bath gel dispensers attached to the wall were empty. The hot water kettle had a broken lid. I can keep going, but for a room that costed Rs.6K+ per night, you deserve better. It didn’t seem like they cared☹️

The hotel is more of a two star hotel with swanky looby to attract. Staff doesn't look like trained( though they are courteous) for star level hospitality and the facilities are not for the price they charge.
Bathroom is not clean and appears unhygienic. Didn't feel like giving a bath to my child there.
Who serves food in melamine dishware. Certainly only a two star hotel can do that. Typical plastic dishware with untrained staff.
The hotel needs to improve upon its facilities to commensurate with the price they charge.

Location : is 2.5 km from the Somnath Temple, easily accessible by auto( auto will charge INR 70 to 80). The hotel reception arranges the auto for you. Somnath railway station is also 2.5 km away.
Food : the food is really tasty and great, the spread is good but not lavish. All the misses are compensated with food taste and services of the staff. Really wonderful and eager to help staff, lots of love to Aparna for her care and understanding, she prepared home made masala tea separately for us and the tea was really good. thank you to Sakib also for all the help he did.
Ambience : the ambience is neat and clean, soothing music makes you feel good, check in was smooth. Special mention for Mr. Nishat, very jovial and interacting person who is handling the front manager position very well. God bless the staff.

Somnath is on the religious pilgrimage trail. It is a small town but this hotel can easily hold its own when compared with similar hotels in bigger towns. The hotel is about 1 km from the Somnath Temple. Its architecture is pleasingly modern. Our room was far larger compared with similar European or even American hotels of similar categories. Extensive use of beech colored wooden trim gave it an upscale feel. Our check in was smooth. The manager, Mr. Rayees Khan, was at the reception, supervising the check-ins to insure that guests had a smooth check-in experience. Mr. Khan is a very personable and his demeanor was both friendly & professional at the same time. His attention to detail was impressive and he took care of issues promptly. Breakfast was included in the price of the room & apart from that we had two meals at their restaurant. The breakfast included both South Indian as well as North Indian cuisines. There was nod to the European taste buds by including delicious cucumber sandwiches. The restaurant being a “pure vegetarian” restaurant, they don’t serve egg preparations. At dinner I saw them make custom pizzas for customers. In the restaurant we have to give a shout out to our waitress Aparna. She seemed to be the only one working hard & she worked with a smile. She too was extremely professional, despite it being so busy at breakfast time. Their manager Dheerendra was always on hand to make sure the customers were served well. I also have to give a shout out to Junaid the maintenance manager & Azeem the bellboy. Both were not only courteous but also took care of issues promptly. Should I return to Somnath, I would have no hesitation in staying at this hotel again.

Your intention to return is the highest compliment we could receive, and we eagerly await the opportunity to welcome you back to our hotel on your next visit to Somnath.

We have booked through their website directly. We found this hotel perfect from many perspectives. It has a opened lawn and a pool. The staffs are always smiling and greet you with Namaste everytime they see you. The rooms are spacious.
I am reducing one star because- We extended our stay for one more day and the price of one day was Double the price of what we booked before.

It was a wonderful stay at Sarovar Portico Somnath. Our check in at #209 late midnight was effortless. The room was well appointed and very spacious. The AC,Toilet and the basic amenities were upto mark. I just missed somehow the shaving kit and the slippers. The whole management,staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was very hygienic and prepared upto our expectations. The waiting lounge, restaurant, children play area,lawn, parking are very adequately designed and are quite spacious. The Spa Services need improvement. Overall my personal experience is 5 ⭐. I will prefer to stay here again during my next visit to Somnath.. Travellers like me can book their stay here without any hesitation. It should be a great experience. Happy Travelling , Happy Stays
