Hotel Bhagyalaxmi NX

The biggest plus is the walk to Sai Baba Mandir. We've stayed here on every Shirdi visit, and the first two times were great. On our latest trip, though, the room was only okay and the bathroom wasn't clean. The tap water smelled unpleasant, making it uncomfortable to use. For three people we got just one complimentary water bottle, and extra bottles cost more. The room was manageable, but with the bathroom issues I'd give this stay 3 out of 5.

The room itself was good, but there were too many problems. The hot water wasn't heating properly, the TV didn't work, and the AC didn't cool well. They hadn't put garbage bags in the bins either. Food, snacks and tea cost a lot for the quality, and the complimentary breakfast was awful: aval upma, rava upma and aloo chapathi with just one chutney. I've never had such a bad breakfast. The staff service was very poor too. Don't book or stay here.

The temple is just a couple of minutes away on foot, so the location works really well for a family wanting a convenient darshan. The room can comfortably fit three people, and the rooms are clean with good service. There is plenty of parking. Food options are decent and reasonably priced, as is the hotel overall. A good family choice near Shridi Sai Baba temple.

For pilgrims and families looking for an affordable, clean place in a convenient spot, Hotel Bhagyalaxmi NX is a solid budget option. The price feels worthwhile. Staff are usually polite and cooperative with check-in and basic needs. During busy seasons service may take a while, but I found it satisfactory.
