The Ganga Darshan Hotel is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, making it a comfortable and peaceful place to stay.

With its great value and serene atmosphere, this hotel offers a wonderful experience overall.

Hotel Uday Palace

The booking process was extremely confusing and frustrating. I initially booked with a pay-at-property option, but later received a QR code asking for payment instead—there was no clear explanation or consistency. To make matters worse, my reservation was canceled by the hotel without any prior notice. Being left stranded at the last minute is incredibly stressful and unprofessional. The entire experience felt disorganized and unreliable. I wouldn’t recommend staying here under any circumstances. Save your time and avoid this place.
