WelcomHeritage Badi Kothi

We had a suite and it was very nice. Lots of space, large, comfortable bed. The restaurant is fairly good in the evening, but at breakfast you should be down early. The road outside is very narrow for cars and I would not drive there with my own vehicle. But is was a fascinating street to walk on. The river is also very close, jus two blocks.

We had a very good Stay at the Hotel. Staffs are very friendly, specially Mrs Romina Singh and Mr Ritturaj Singh. The former showed us this ancient palace and its history. The hotel is highly recommended for a stay. Food was very good. Great rooms.

Excellent hotel. Very quaint . Takes you back to old times. Excellent service . Staff was very courteous and helpful. Food was very good . Would come here and stay again for sure . We came with our family to visit the Ganges . Awesome view of the Ganges from the rooftop pool

Don’t go to this Spooky hotel.Photographs showing all fake.All around dirty and smelling area,stairs are broken,outside so dirty,reception room sofa dirty . Outside wall broken and road was so thin and small car had hard time to move all over smelly and flies. We came from New York and visited lot of places which were very good ,this was worst dirty hotel and they refused to return even we did not even go inside

If one was selling a house then it would be hard to sell in the locality where Badi Kothi is located. The approach is difficult at best and I wouldn’t recommend you driving there. “Free Parking” is a very dusty patch of ground right next to the hotel with cars having to share parking with litter, cows & stray dogs. The hotel itself is a heritage site and has a very impressive history. They have photographs of Indian PMs, freedom fighters & other celebs (poet & Nobel Laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore) who have stayed there. The lane also has the home of Prayagraj’s (Allahabad’s) famous poet, Nirala. The hotel is being refurbished and construction noises start at 10ish & last till 6pm ish. The whole decor of the place features intricate carvings on cement. A reminder of yester years. The doors are also original with bolts & latches reminiscent of 19th Century Indian havelis. The hotel building has an air of faded grandeur and needs extensive refurbished. The rooms are large & comfortable and have a TV, a small fridge & tea/coffee making wherewithal. The bathroom was large & equipped with modern fixtures, including a shower with decent water pressure. However one wall of the bathroom had a wall to wall & roof to roof huge mirror. This huge mirror is the only separation from the adjoining restaurant & kitchen. So you hear all kitchen noises in the bathroom. And if you crane your neck around the mirror you can actually see the outside. The service is outstanding. The manager Mr. Hemant goes above and beyond to cater to your every need. The front desk staff, Ms Romani, made check-in & checkout smooth and her welcoming smile & demeanor are what a traveler needs. She would also decorate the floor of the foyer with flowers —which gave off a pleasant aroma as one entered the foyer. In the restaurant Sonu also went above and beyond as he served us. Their restaurant serves Indian vegetarian fare and was quite on par with other similar hotels. The restaurant has both indoor as well as outdoor seating in the courtyard. In the evening a sitar strums the sitar & entertains with soft mellifluous sitar sounds.

Stayed in the hotel for 5 days with 10 more members. Nice place to stay with the historic looks and ambience. Mr Rawat is convincing and helped us in all means. Food is another advantage, only veg being served. Chef and staff (Manveer & Akshay) made the entire gang feel home. Only disadvantage is the location but u can give a try with no regrets...
