Asia Lodge

I wasn't very happy with the place. There wasn't enough room for everyone to sleep in the dormitory, and when I visited, it hadn't even been dusted. The price seemed fair, but the lack of cleanliness was a problem.

For two people, I paid 450 per night after calling them directly. The room was clean and tidy, with enough space for two yoga mats and a big bed. It's on a quieter side road, so you don't get the main street noise, and although the lane is quiet, the station and market are nearby with facilities close at hand. The owner, who is also the owner of holiday era, was very helpful and offered options and suggestions. You can get to Grishneshwar and Ellora caves by local taxi, or by local bus, which is the cheapest option.

When I asked for the room to be cleaned, they refused and told me to check out instead. The staff were rude and unhelpful, and the room wasn't clean or comfortable. Very disappointing service and an unprofessional experience. I wouldn't stay here again, and would suggest looking elsewhere.

This dorm is only okay for a few hours of rest, and not at night. There were lots of mosquitoes and no proper ventilation. Being close to the railway station is its one good point. They offer a bed for the night for 150 rupees if you book directly. There's no locker facility, so your luggage and mobile are at risk.
