OYO 22672 Hotel Sai Bhushan

The bathroom smelled bad, the rooms and bed linen were dirty, and there was no hot water in the morning. Staff didn't handle our complaints well, so we had a horrible time. With so many other hotels available, there's no reason to stay this far from the main road. I was fooled by the photos on the OYO website and will upload real ones so others aren't misled. Don't book here.

The hotel is a decent budget option in Shirdi, within walking distance of the mandir. One caution: paying extra for the complimentary breakfast isn't worth it. You only get one item per person, aloo parantha, poha or idli, brought in from an outside Dhaba, so it's better to eat elsewhere. The lift and parking can be an issue, though they gave us a first-floor room after I asked because I was travelling with my parents, who are 75 years old. Parking can be handled at a paid lot outside. Otherwise, the hotel is good. Happy Darshan. Om sai ram.

The rooms are very small, and there was nowhere to keep our luggage. The AC leaked water, and the hot water wasn't available as promised. Cleaning hadn't been done properly when we got the room. They should replace blankets and bed spreads after checkout, but ours seemed to have been reused for the bedding. Horrible.

The AC worked well, and the staff were good and friendly. It cost 999 for one night, but the room and bathroom were small, with a queen-size bed. Hot water wasn't available all day. Gates 1 and 2 are within walking distance. There's no lift, and the stairs are a little difficult.
