OYO 8436 Orchid Rooms

Kharadi is lively late into the night, with lots of places to get vegetarian or non-vegetarian food. If you sleep early, noise from outside could bother you. My room was spacious and nicely furnished, though the bathroom door was damaged, but still worked. You need to ask them to switch on the geyser for hot water. On my first day I didn’t know this and waited for the water they said would come between 8:30-9am, but it didn’t spoil my day. I had a nice stay.

After a few hours of sleep, we left because the room and staff were so bad, and we’d already had a tiring journey. Even though we arrived an hour late, the room wasn’t ready. When we finally got in, it hadn’t been cleaned after the previous guests checked out. The receptionist moved us to a room with two single beds, which didn’t meet our needs, and it was in the same condition as the first room. We asked for a complimentary water bottle at check-in, but it never arrived. When I asked about it as we were leaving, the receptionist started filling an empty bottle from a nearby tap. This wasn’t the experience we expected. Avoid this place if you can. Happy Journey!

The location has easy access to shops and restaurants, and the staff are friendly. The room has basic things like a cupboard, TV, bed, mirror, Wi-Fi and hot water, but it’s not as grand as the pictures on MakeMyTrip suggest. The rooms need better maintenance and cleaning to meet OYO standards. I’d rate it 3.

The receptionist was very helpful, which was the one good thing. I had booked in advance, but still had to wait at check-in while they got the room ready. There was work going on in the bathroom, and though I was told it would take 10 minutes, it was never finished. There were bugs all over too.
