"I did the mistake to book the room with 2 single beds, those beds were actually so very small, I had the feeling to do some camping. Also I wasn't too lucky with the shower, I stayed 2 nights and on the 2nd day, imposibl to get hot water, no choice than going to the breakfast unshowered... Air conditioning was litl hard to master, either on = too cold, either switched off, too hot.... Wifi otherwise, perfect, same as the location, perfect. Front staff and door staff otherwise not very helpful at all, I had to find my own street transportation to the airport, never mind. Breakfast was fantastic with lots of choices and delicious options, also all staff at the restaurant very friendly and helpful, especially also very very big help and excellent service from Aman Mishra at the restaurant."

"A great little hotel for big events like weddings so on. We found the rooms small but comfortable and clean. Nicely situated on a main road between airport and Boydgaya. Any foreign visitors beware. The tu-tu from hotel to market (Domuhan) costs 10 ruppies for locals but 100 for you. There are no bus, uber or ola, so figure this in your budget. If you fancy Indian curry the resort's own restaurant could step in competently. When we were there it chaotic and dusty outside deal to heavy road works and traffics."
