Hotel Allahabad dengan Kolam Renang

This centrally located property in Prayagraj is currently under refurbishment. The restaurant on the ground floor, for example, has temporarily been moved to a banquet room on the first floor. Our experience at the hotel was hardly affected by this. Our 3rd floor suite was serviced by an elevator. The views from the rooms are on to the adjoining plots —hardly of interest. The four poster king-size canopy bed was quite striking; it was comfortable and the rooms themselves relatively silent. The suite is well-appointed with a minifridge, an electric kettle, and enough chairs and a working desk. There are many electrical charging points which were all working. The wifi connection we found was poor (Room 314). (I checked that the connection is better in the reception lobby.) There were two flat screen TVs but one was out of order. Also, the cable TV connection did not subscribe to international news channels such as BBC or CNN international. There was a bathroom and a WC. The main bathroom has no hand-shower nor a shaving mirror. The basic toiletries and enough clean towels were provided. But, most importantly, there was no hot water. This in our view was the most serious handicap of this place. On the last day of our two-night stay we brought up the issue with the Reception. Though we ascribe the issue to an oversight on the part of the managerial staff, their response was immediate. Two persons came around to check and decided there was a fault in the geyser. It was repaired within half and hour. The breakfast spread is very decent. The food at lunch/dinner was too spicy for our taste and it took a long time to prepare. Overall, our stay was pleasant.

It was my sister’s wedding at Hotel Allahabad Regency. We booked the hall for 2 days and Lawn for the wedding. On Day 1: They didn’t started the AC even after the guest arrived and they were just putting on the chair covers even 2 hrs later than the event start time. They were not serving the snacks and food items as decided in the menu. Moreover quantity was not sufficient as per the requested guest list. And to add up more they were shuffling the snacks between the 2 events ongoing at the same time. There was zero professionalism for such a big brand of Allahabad. There was total 3-4 waiters who were switching between food and bar. No dedicated Bartender. They charged us Rs.11000 for liquor license but when asked for a copy of it they were not able to produce one. They are fraud people. On Day 2: Wedding day was the heights of unprofessionalism and rudeness. For a gathering of 200-250 we could see only 5-6 waiters who were serving to the guests. And even those were just roaming where there was no guests without even asking them as a courtesy. The linens used for tables and chair were dirty and shabby. As per the contract 50% of the amount was to be paid before the function and 50% after the function. But there useless and rude manager forced us to pay almost 85% of the payment before the function. And for mere 15% of the payments he removed the plates from the counter in the middle of event. And the complimentary room provided to us was worst than a roadside motel with size so small and AC not working. However while making the booking he promised other room to us. There are 100’s of other things which cannot be described in the reviews but i would just say this was the worst experience faced by me in my life that too from so called reputed hotel of Allahabad. And this review cannot be closed by special review for Mr. Mandal the event manager. He is the most arrogant, rude and disrespectful manager. Since it was my sister’s wedding i was bound to maintain the decorum of the event without making any fuss, otherwise i would have thrashed Mr.Mandal. He don’t deserve to be a manager of such a so called reputed hotel. He is a disgrace to the hotel and should be fired immediately if Hotel Allahabad Regency wants to continue with its reputation. Highly NOT recommended for any event.
