Tapasthali by Meera Hotels

In Nov-2017 I had stayed at this hotel with my friends. It was quite new at that time and we had a great experience. Considering that, this time I didn't check even the reviews and directly booked this property for 3 nights. However my experience was not good this time. If I had not paid the amount in advance, I would have checked out the very next day. Here is my review ============ Good things: ============ - Location is good. Lakshman Jhula, main road and other eateries etc are at walkable distance from here - Staff is helpful and cooperative. They listen to you and try to solve your problem asap with the available resources - Every room has a balcony & it really helps, as you get natural sunlight. Upper rooms have a better view - Generator was available - Hot water was available 24*7 ================== Improvement Areas: ================== - Hygiene and cleanliness is their biggest problem right now. We stayed in Room no. 101. The floor was so dirty that it was impossible to walk barefoot. It was not broomed or mopped at all - Washroom was smelly. We could clearly see the dirt on the bathroom tiles as if they have not been cleaned since 2017 - There was no dustbin in the room. There was just 1 dustbin in the bathroom (below the washbasin). So every time we had to throw something, we had to enter the bathroom - Given towels were not clean. One of the towels was almost on the verge of getting torn off - We asked for a doormat which we could place outside the bathroom door. The doormat given to us was so dirty that our feet used to get dirty on using it - No lift. So could be difficult for senior citizens / people with disability Rooms on the upper floor are a bit expensive than the lower ones. Their situation could be better, but I can't say for sure. Till they improve their cleanliness part, I will not advise you to stay at this hotel. With friends, you might be able to manage somehow. But definitely not recommended for families

Worst experience ever. NO AC, NO GEYSER, NO WATER, NO CLEANLINESS, FULL OF BUGS Rooms AC was not working.. got the room changed, that rooms geyser was not working. Bathrooms are like public toilets.. very small, smelly, and not properly cleaned. You can see fungus growing on the walls of the room. Staff was super lazy, you cannot get anything from them done in less than 2 hrs, whether it is getting the room cleaned or simply getting towels. If you are booking this hotel, be prepared for bugs, roaches, spiders everywhere. The towels were not properly cleaned, I got an allergic reaction because of that. The geyser in the room was also jot working. If you are a late nighter, you are not going to get water in the washroom post 11pm. The only decent thing was the breakfast. That's why the one star, otherwise this hotel is not even worth that. Boom if you only want a roof on top of your head.. NOT at all recommended for families or couples.
