Hare Rama Palace

Hare Rama Palace is about 4 km from the city center. The road right beside it was unpleasant, with drainage overflowing, though the property itself was a short drive into the city. We were welcomed warmly and got our room promptly. It felt much like a homestay, with a decent room size for a short visit. The interiors were neat, the bedcovers and washroom were clean, and the geyser provided hot water 24 hours a day. Food came from a nearby hotel rather than an in-house kitchen. The arrangements worked, but the dining could be better: they gave us tiny paper plates, the sort we usually use for PaniPuri in Southern India, instead of proper plates and cutlery. The famous lassi I ordered seemed rushed and wasn't up to the mark, and the ₹30 delivery charge felt unnecessary. There was just one towel for two guests, as though we were expected to share. I had to ask separately for another one. Hare Rama Palace has basic amenities and warm hospitality, and was clean and homely, but better food service, dining arrangements, and a towel for each traveller would make the stay more comfortable. With a few improvements, it could be a reliable place for pilgrims and other visitors to Ayodhya.
