The hotel states that they have a 24 room service menu, even in the room it is listed as 24 hours but they do not. They also state that they have an ironing board available, but they do not. They take your ironing away as a service which took nearly an hour and made me miss breakfast and made me late.

People were smoking cigarettes in 7th floor, later I learned this hotel 2nd floor is smoking allowed floor, with air-condition blowing. I could not bare and could not seep, it was kind of 11pm, otherwise i would have got and found a better place. Of course, I never stay in this hotel again. and will every friend thinking about staying, i will at least tell them avoid this property. Weather you smoke in 1st floor or 2nd or 3rd, the place is going to stink like a cigarette. If they think they can contain air to one floor that is never going to happen, hot air will always go up. but common sense is not common. I need to repeat it to myself.

Worst hotel experience

Additionally, I was surprised to be charged for basic amenities such as ice. I hope the hotel management will take steps to address these concerns and improve the overall guest experience.

Location probably is their selling point. The room was filled with bad smell. Bathroom was the same. Had taken pictures too. I had reservation for 2 people with breakfast included. However, for some reason they wanted to check ID of my guest and his US license was not acceptable to them and we were charged for the buffet even though they accepted that I had paid for it already. However they insisted that the ID of my guest was not acceptable. That would have been fine as paying for that was not an issue but the front desk staff was totally weird and rude when they were questioned. Instead of properly answering our query they were rude and started talking in their native language and just made us feel uneasy. Their courtesy only is to constantly get in your face with their namaste but when needed the customer service that’s what I had to face. I was in room 702 and they need to check on the persistent odor in that room. I have taken pictures that could be provided too

Good: location is safe and quiet , although most of the stuff is at least 15-25 minutes away. You must have Internet / phone connection to book a cab / uber if you didn’t take a rental out. Clean Hotel.
Bad: the bathroom has no ventilation , so after shower when steam and dirt from the walls combined and becomes vapour , it then just drips in bathroom. Booked for 3 persons and everyday got only 2 towels . I had to call everyday to get an extra towel( reason : I don’t know).
My bed linen and pillows were not changed for the 7 days we were at the hotel ( I had clipped a safety pin to the pillow and that safety pin stayed at same spot ).
At check-in , the checkin person was very rude . I had asked simple questions and he just brushed us off. For eg., I had forgotten to order breakfast , so I asked the process they have for breakfast. He gave me the answer at last after been rude and arrogant.
I had not yet given any tip when we arrived at the hotel, because we had not exchanged money yet. So any questions around the surrounding like, laundry , shopping center, taxis, the entrance persons, just shrugged us off. So basically, no tip no talk.

Though our check in was delayed way beyond the committed time of 1:00 PM, the stay at the hotel made up considerably for this rather bitter beginning. The rooms are clean and comfortable and very well maintained. The bathroom and closet too are clean and comfortable, also equipped with a hair dryer and a magnifying mirror. The breakfast spread was awesome and definitely something to write about! The tea is terrible with a few drops of oil floating and the staff took too long to give me an actually good cup of tea! But yet a minor snarl compared to the great stay my family and I had at the hotel! Will definitely return for another stay soon!

Disappointing stay.

As a solo female traveller, I ended up having a bad time at this hotel. Starting from the check in, the receptionist at the front desk was rude. The mattress was stinking. The room I was given was next to maybe the supply closet, I am not sure, but the entire night I kept waking up due to the noise and getting scared that someone was trying to open the door to my room. Staff has no idea about their own menu. The food and cutlery served had eyelash on them. Overall, a terrible stay. If you want to judge the overall condition of the hotel, just look at the condition of the mouse pad of the receptionists.

Warning! Our group got violent food poisoning from the food served here at the buffet! I strongly advise to not stay at this hotel. Better to stay at the Novatel Hotel just down the road. For the price that you pay here, you expect clean and hygienic preparations with the food, but that was not the case here. Next time, I will definitely be going elsewhere, and if you don't want to get sick, I advise the same!

Standard room that could've done soo much better

It was pretty standard. I must say, a little effort could've made this experience memorable. There is no doubt that the property is old, and it seems they are making an effort to renovate. The bathrooms were decently clean, but there were annoying leaks that flooded the bathroom. The linen had a few stains, although seems clean off the laundry. The items listed in the 24 hour menu were not available, which was disappointing. Food was above average for sure, no complains there. Breakfast served at lobby was pretty good, decent spread. Coffee was substandard and cups were not present any of the days at the buffet and had to be asked for. Don't get me wrong, the rooms were clean and stay was comfortable. Lastly, i was asked to check out early at 11:30am because \"they were overbooked\"

There is no pedestal lamp at all

Linen is good/average, but needs more attention.

Bathroom: The shower water spills outside the cubicle through the gap at the door hinge. This was reported on almost all occassions of my stay but never attended to (simple/temp solution of blanking the gap with a plastic flexible sheet would resolve the issue).

The Golkonda hotel is a nice building, that could do with a facelift. The front of house staff, are very presentable, and helpful.
The food was very good, and I looked forward to the breakfast buffet in the mornings.
Unfortunately, the people who serviced our room let the hotel down badly. The standard of cleaning was poor, they spent more time folding the towels into animal shapes for tips, and I noticed someone had been looking at our possessions, instead of working on the room. It wasn't until we returned to England that I discovered my tablet was missing. I've made the hotel manager aware of this.
If you decide to stay at the Golkonda keep a good watch on your things!
