Blossom Resort Kasauli – Terrible Place | Third Class | Perfect Place To Spoil Holidays
Went to this place with the image that we have booked a “RESORT” and will enjoy our holidays. This image went for an immediate toss when we discovered the “INTERNAL SECRETS” of this place.
Rooms were big but with proportionate dirty. The rooms were adequately dirty, bathroom was smelly, towels were washed but the soild marks were on them every here and there. Bedsheets were god knows washed or not but had dirty marks all over, which looked very offensive. Rooms were not broomed properly and there were loose hair in the room.
The beds in the rooms were equipped with home-type mattresses (talai) and we quite dint like this un-comfort during the night.
Location is ok BUT entrance is unsecured. Local boys were constantly gazing the guests rather girls in the hotel, since the hotel is built on the lower side of the road and there is not even 1% privacy. Its an Unsecured Open Air Road View Entrance to the rooms, with the bus station just above the hotel where all standing and waiting for the bus, do pass their time by gazing inside the hotel. Also the passengers in the passing by bus/trax etc gaze good and enjoy the guests staying in the hotel.
Food menu is of 14 leafs but not more than 8 items were available to order. The manager cleanly denied of having tandoor in the hotel. We were forced to take dal-fry ONLY since according to them it was freshly cooked for some other order as well (in excess), and if other things out of the given options were ordered then we will have to give them a preparation time of approximately 45 minutes to one hour.
Anyways we ordered dal-fry with chapatis along with boondi-raita. The order still came after forty minutes. The dal was dead cold and the rotis were dry. Upon our complaint we were told that it was not their fault but the boondi raita took time since they had to bring curd from the market, for making the raita. Our holiday mood went for a swing and we could hardly eat anything then, but had to pay in full for the same, which was not less than some 7 star rate.
We noticed there were in total 7 persons for these to 20 rooms resort. The same persons appeared as manager at the reception, waiters, housekeeping boys and even restaurant table cleaning boys.
In the evening when we returned from Kasauli (which is approx 8 kms, but their website says is 4.2 kms) we expected to get some snacks, if not tandoori then some regular but decent. We ordered French fries and cheese chilly. We again received the order after approx 40 minutes. The French fries were turmeric and salt smeared lousy deep-fried potato fingers, and the cheese chilly was drenched with Soya sauce which hurt our throats.
We again went to Kasauli to get some snacks and dinner for ourselves, we found a good open air food joint from where we made our snacks and dinner arrangements and came back to the resort with disposable plates etc.
We were lucky to find the owner when we came back. The owner was drunk a bit, and his friends were still in the sitting area (made for customers) drinking merrily and taking in offensive and abusive language amidst themselves without caring that there were customers around. We thought we will tell the owner about the difficulties we faced in the hotel, but to our surprise the owner picked up a fight with us only and was not at all willing to listen to any of our complaints, and on top of it all them blames were landed on-to our head like ….. Because of we ordering the Boondi-Raita the order came late and that we should have asked beforehand of the preparation time for boondi-raita, because of which the total order was delayed.
Wad a good argument over this that how can we be blamed for nothing and towards the end of the same the owner said us to check out of the hotel immediately which was approx 09:30 evening in the night, and we were in a fix as to what to do on lonely jungle roads around this resort with our children? We after all this disrespect, just because of our children dint step out of the hotel that night. But the next day we did an asap checkout.
Also :
Apart from that their website said they had: [1]Gym : Two Dumb-Bells were placed in the restaurant. [2]Carrom Board : Two dirty carrom boards were resting by the restaurant walls which were as good as not present. [3]Internet : A data card was with the owner, but the owner was not present throughout the day, in night when present was drunk and in a full mood to fight. [4]Badminton Court: In the resort adjoining lower plot, which dint even had an inch of grass path; totally muddy area of soil with two poles to ties the net – as and when required. [5] swings for children: In the same area of soil and mud as described above, had three cheap plastic glides/swings of which 1 dint work and i definitely dint let my children use because of dirt/soil there and from the safety point of view also of the swings.
I swear my life’s WORST “HEAVILY PAID” HOLIDAY. Any decent person taking children and family for an outing MUST-NOT even think of taking this hotel as a stay option. I would recommend anyone to stay in own house rather going to this place and get abused, and mentally tortured there.
