OYO 22574 Hotel Deep Palace

The room initially looked fine, but a closer look showed how dirty it was: stained sheets and a white towel that had turned brown. We asked housekeeping two or three times to change the sheets and blankets, and the staff abused us behind our backs. At checkout that evening, the owner seemed focused on money rather than customer satisfaction, which explains the staff's bad manners to me. The receptionist had also been aggressive, stubborn, and rude when we arrived, though we were short on time and accepted the double executive room he gave us. Please don't stay here. Hotel Celebration and Hotel Radhika are better options.

The owner was helpful and the prices were reasonable. Rooms were spacious, clean, and maintained well, but the washrooms could have been cleaner.

OYO confirmed my online booking, but when I arrived they refused to give me a room, saying the price was too low for them. They asked me to wait 30 minutes. When I checked back, they told me to book directly with them instead of through OYO, so I declined. OYO should cancel this hotel's contract as soon as possible.

Ritesh Agarwal was already programming computers in elementary school, and by 13 he was selling SIM cards and fast-moving consumer goods on the streets of his small hometown in Odisha. At 14, he told his middle-school classmates he wanted to be an entrepreneur, though he didn't fully understand the word. He later found its dictionary definition: someone who solves a problem and builds a business in the process. The problem he spotted at 19 was that major hotel chains rarely operate properties with fewer than 100 rooms, even though more than 90% of hotels are that size. He saw a huge, underdeveloped opportunity there. Now 24, the Oyo Hotels founder leads India's largest app-based hotel chain and is preparing to expand into Europe and the Middle East after major growth in India and China.
