Hotel R Maidens, Kasauli – Disappointing!

Disappointing!

We stayed here during the winter months and I must admit its a terrible hotel.Food is tasteless here and the rooms are horrible. Hotel Management turns the hot water system off so one cant have a shower in the evening if they want to.It is turned on in the morning after a reminder call to them. The water was lukewarm and the room was freezing. We were so tired and thought we will just doze off and not notice the cold but it was too cold to even sleep, we barely managed to catch a few hours sleep only.

The rooms arent heated so you have to request for them to provide a heater which doesnt do much to heat the room up properly. The beds are hard and uncomfortable and bedding is filthy. They have a doona which they provide in the rooms but it smelt horrible, we had no choice but to use it. A word of warning, when you leave the room you have to be extra careful not to leave the door or windows open even for one minute, the monkeys are a nuisance. I almost had one grab my handbag from my room. One tends to wonder if they are trained to do so :)

If you have travelled around India you wouldve noticed the lack of toilet paper in some hotels, its best to carry your own:) You will only find toilet papers in 5 & 4 star hotels and if you are lucky then in the others. I would stock my bag up with it in advance. Usually you can buy them from the chemists and trust me it comes in handy at all times.

Unfortunately, I didnt end up taking any snaps of this hotel so its obvious how much I disliked it. Due to lack of sleep I was very grumpy the next day after staying there and swore to pay a little extra and stay in nice, clean and warm hotels.

Every word written is absolutely true about this F***ed-up hotel, since i have experienced the same thing recently here. Better sleep in the local Gurudwara rather than staying at this place.
