The Grand Astoria Somnath

Big rooms, nice restaurant with good breakfast, little far from temple, need your own car to travel to temple,

okay first I will talk about the good things 1. the stop was very humble though they couldn't help for anything but they politely declined for anything we asked for example an early breakfast. 2. the size of the room was big because we booked a family room which had two Queen beds. Cons: 1. the location is terrible its like in nowhere and quite outside the city of Somnath as this is in middle of a flyover you cannot get any public transport. 2. it felt like the bed sheets were placed 10-15 days ago and they were never move and small insects inside which we had to clean as you every tired to call the staff 3. the amenities were pathetic there was a kid area which was only alone and all the other things were either rusted or broken 4. the hotel serves breakfast after 8:30 which is as good as not giving the breakfast 5. after booking the hotels most expensive room for per night they gave only two bottles of water as complementary we had to pay for the water. 5. as they were not able to take the request for early breakfast we requested them to provide Tea at least and that was also charged by them. we ended a pain thousand rupees just for tea for four people. 6. to top up with the irony and our pain on the first day of our stay there was no other person living in the hotel hence the basic services were not there we had to ask even to switch on the lights of The corridor 7. the next day was on the other extreme there was a party there was loud music which overshadowed the tv in the room and that music was played till two in the night

Short stay at hotel. We booked one night but checked in only in the morning to freshen up and visit the temple. The checkin process was smooth and easy. Staff are friendly. Rooms were quite clean and spacious. The bad part was that the hot water was not coming. Despite calling the reception multiple times there was no solution. We had to end up having an effective cold water bath. Not a good feeling when you pay a premium for this property.
