Location is perfect. not too far from the market and yet away enough to be quiet and peaceful. Food is tasty and homely with lots of variety. Staff is very caring. They customized food as per health requirements and also provided as per religious timings. Premises are very spacious with all amenities for entertainment.

The quality of food served was not good. They have mentioned on their website that they have full power backup and 24 hours running hot water but there was no power in our rooms for more than 2 hours no power backup and no hot water was available in morning hours. No one at the reception in morning hours to attend to our call. All in all it was a very bad experience from our end.

Hello Tejas, It is a fact and not false at all that as mentioned on our website that we have full power backup (Newly bought High Capacity Power Generator) and 24 hours running hot water as we have geyser in all rooms. The night you stayed there was power outage for almost 8-9 hours at night and full night the power generator was on and everything was working on it example air conditioner, lights, etc. You called reception at morning 6.30 AM which we did not answer, we have no where mentioned or promised that we give 24 hours room service. We are known for our food and are proud of it and will never compromise on it. It is unfair on your part and blatant blackmail that we need to refund you full booking amount else you will post exaggerated 1 star review, which you have done, just for not answering your calls at morning 6.30 AM. Sincere request to be fair and give honest review. Regards, Team, Gujarat Bhavan Hotel, Matheran.

The Hotel has the old world charm. This is a vegetarian hotel and the food is very yummy. The chef is very much on toes and takes care of every ones needs. The rooms are neat and clean. The staff is very attentive. They had a table tennis and badminton for everyone to use.

They cancelled our booking last minute because they got a group booking. This was when all our flight tickets were booked and done. Don’t go here if you in a family or a couple. You never know they may just cancel your booking if a big group books on the same dates.

Hello Salonee, We are shocked and surprised to see this review as you are not giving full information and hiding facts. Not just us but any Hotel in the world will block room only after receiving the payment for the booking. When you had 1st inquired for room availability and booking at that time our Google Pay QR code was not working due to technical problems we had requested you to pay via any other mode of payment example via bank transfer to which you said you cannot, if only you had made the payment, then we would definitely block the room for you. Later when you called us again after many days at that time, we mentioned that all our rooms are sold out as we have received a group booking, not that we are cancelling your booking because we have received a group booking, as your booking was never confirmed as we had not received payment for the same. Regards, Management team, Gujarat Bhavan Hotel, Matheran.

We were searching for a vegetarian hotel in Matheran with decent rooms and with a swimming pool in the amidst of nature, and in our search we got to know about Gujarat Bhavan and I must say it was beyond our expectations, it's a nice place to stay with family and friends or even with your partner, the place is calm and peaceful with full of good vibes in the premises, the rooms are good and clean the premise is full of nature and cleanliness is being done and maintained regularly, there is a nice and a small temple of Lord Shiva near by the pool, the hospitality is really good the staff and the owners of the hotel are very much humble and polite, they and the vibes in the place make you feel calm and comfortable and safe, also in the evening or even while having breakfast, lunch or dinner they play nice devotional tunes that make you feel positive and happy and relaxed all the time, the food served either breakfast or lunch or dinner is just awesome, it's tasty and also healthy, they serve variety of delicacies and items at every time be it breakfast or lunch or dinner, so because of that you won't get bored of eating the same, instead you feel excited for what is going to be served next and they surprise you every time with lip-smacking and delicious food that you can't or either I would say you won't wanna skip it or miss it, you'll feel like having some more even after your tummy is full cause the taste and quality of their food is so good and also subtle at the same time that you will feel like eating home style cooked food but best in taste, the sweets they will just melt on your taste buds and make you feel so much satisfied from the bottom of your heart, your heart and your soul will just go hmmmmmm. that feeling of heaven, you'll get it every time, whenever you'll have your food or even when you're roaming in the premise, the swimming pool is clean and makes you feel refreshed and rejuvenated every time you take a dip in it, the games like ludo, carom, table tennis or badminton court or the swings will call you to play with them and you'll enjoy them to the fullest with your loved one's, to express the stay in just a few words is really impossible, you should really experience it yourself, We had stayed here in Feb 2023 for 3 days and really wanted to extend it but routine calls hahaha, but would love to visit Matheran back again just for staying and relaxing at Gujarat Bhavan Hotel, it's the best hotel in Matheran for pure vegetarians and also they are the only ones maintaining a good culture with modern stuff as-well, this one is highly recommended and you must, in the end to wrap it up thanks Gujarat Bhavan for making our stay a memorable one and will definitely visit and stay at Gujarat Bhavan every time we'll come at Matheran, Thank you so much Gujarat Bhavan Hotel, Harshvardhan Kulkarni.…
