OYO 19841 Shivar Guest House

The room was in very bad shape, the lift was damaged, and there's no breakfast. I was charged 1500 for one soap and one towel. I even found a used condom under the bed. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

It's a budget hotel close to Sion railway station.

The complimentary breakfast wasn't provided willingly. I had to keep calling to remind them it hadn't arrived. The staff seemed unconcerned when problems came up. My room had no hanger rods in the cupboard, and when I asked, they just told me to manage somehow. The rooms are small and dingy. Definitely the worst OYO I've stayed in, and I wouldn't recommend it. Check the photos I've posted to see how bad it is.

The good parts were the location and a few useful basics: it's right opposite Sion local railway station, so getting around is easy. The mattress was soft, the AC worked well, Wi-Fi was fast, and hot water was available any time of day. For a budget hotel, the rooms are practical enough, but I was disappointed that the sheets were dirty. I brought my own sheets and toiletries, which made the stay reasonably comfortable if you're traveling rough and cutting costs. Outside, the area was unpleasant, with hawkers and peddlers everywhere and a strong fish smell. The building was hard to spot amid the noise and clutter, and looked cracked, moldy, and run-down. Inside, the small soap bar, bed that I couldn't fit on, lack of a nightlight, and room service that only worked about half the time were all irritations. You also pay for every drop of water. There's no in-house kitchen, so don't pay extra for a "complimentary breakfast" when booking. I did, and they denied that any such arrangement existed.
