Firstly, the hotel shown in the google listing is not the one when you will reach this place.
I called up the number given with on google listing and confirmed 2 rooms for 1 night stay. The person on other end confirmed the price and I reached the place after 5 kms drive. On reaching the place, the front office guy (very cold and rude) told us that we spoke to some other Mandakini property which is 5 kms away from this one and the rates of this property are higher than that one (As expected). Since it was late around 9 PM and I was with family, I had no option but to pay higher tariff. Now the room was filthy. Hair on floor, broken switchboard, dirty sofa, dirty linen and bed sheets (Pics attached). At around 2-3 AM, we hear people howling in the lobby and TV playing songs at very high volume which was kind of really scary. Now during checkout I asked for an invoice of payment I had made. The front office guy told me that I have to pay taxes over and above what I had paid during check in to get the invoice. Yes! He said that! Total cheater and trickster. For my stay at Mandakini for about 9 hrs (9PM - 6AM), it was my worst possible hotel stay. Haven’t had any positive incident the entire time.

I was in the hotel on 19th booked online as I was unknown to the place and quality of hotels. Booked under the impression that it belongs to hotel chain - Kukrejas. The location, amenities, linens, bathrooms, complementary break-fast etc all are of average quality. Free Wifi, but if failed, when it would be restored, is not for sure. It took almost 8 hours after reporting to restore during my visit. The staff and Manager are cordial and cooperative, but it is not worth opting at the price they charge. I recommend to avoid, rest is individual's choice.

Visited this place multiple times for its location , as it is nearest decent hotel to Hallet Hospital . Rooms are really spacious . But service of staff is ok ok . I have visited the hotel 3 times in past 3 months , and every time the room service is not satisfactory . The room amenities like AC and TV are not functionally properly at times . Overall ,it is comfortable for a single day stay
