Veekay Lodge

We found bed bugs all over the bed, alcohol bottles scattered around, and heavily stained, dirty bathrooms. They wanted payment before letting us in. This place seemed suitable only for drinkers, not families. We chose not to stay and asked to cancel, but they kept 500 rs as a cancellation charge. Don't trust the Google rating of 4 stars. I've never seen such a horrible lodge.

The room was passable, though nothing special, but the bathroom had a ceiling leak and was not clean enough. Most of its taps didn't work, including the one on the washbasin, and the health faucet was faulty too. The way the service staff behaved, especially reception, would make me think twice before booking again. That seems to be a common issue with hotels in and around Bangalore.

The walls were peeling and the room smelled bad. The first sheets were so disgusting that I asked for replacements, but those had stains too. I lasted less than an hour and a half trying to convince myself it was bearable before giving up. Then reception and I argued over the refund, and they returned only part of my money, calling the rest a “cleaning fee,” even though I hadn't used anything, not even the bed.

In the middle of the night they started banging on the door and telling me I had to leave. They'd already charged more than the price shown when I booked, then put me in a filthy room with an unbearable smell. The worst experience I've had. These people are frauds. Please ask questions before booking this lodge.
