Raj Residency

The approach to this hotel is through narrow lanes resembling slums on both sides. On the day we went, the reception was being renovated. It was like we had entered a workshop. We were first shown a room that had two rooms in it, one of them had a circular bed. The paint was peeling off the walls and the woodwork was broken. The bathroom was dirty. When we protested, we were shown another room, this had two large double beds side to side. Again, the wall had mould and the bathroom filthy with broken glass etc. Mirrors had started colouring from the edges. We began to lose patience and the hotel staff also got very nervous. So they took us around to show us other rooms. In two occasions, the person barged into rooms where guests were staying by unlocking the doors. By this time, we had had it and asked for cancellation of our booking and they readily agreed and refunded the booking amount. The hotel doesn't have parking. So if you get your car, you got to park on the road. The neighbouring houses are obviously troubled due to this. Also on one side there is a drain. There's no valet parking here and the people are quite helpless in parking. So do not go by the photos. They probably were taken the day the hotel was built.
