Bhopal hotels & accommodations
Visited the city of Begums, Bhopal with my cousin this summer (July 2018) and stayed in Jehan Numa Palace. The hotel was opulence at its best and boasted of past grandeur. The pictures of the Nawabs and their families are displayed all over the walls, throughout the property and makes one wish they too were a part of regality. The property is well maintained. We sta...
The Staff is outstanding. The resort is very good with above average food.
This is a humongous place. You hardly see anyone! Reminded me of the movie "The Shining". Waiting for Jack Nicholson to knock on the door, "Here's Johnny"!! The service was quick and efficient. The rooms/bed were cosy, comfortable. Food was a bit on the down side: I am a Hyderabadi. We have the very best at home. Cab service to the airport, a little steep, was immedia...
I stay at Courtyard Bhopal for a night with nice room and comfortable good sleep and central for everything.
Shubh Inn is a good property, it is value for money. the set up is fresh and rooms are tidy and well equipped. one feels happy while entering the room. small glitches, Not so well designed though. the Switch for AC is fitted very high on the wall, difficult to manage. the Towels are kept outside the shower area. the reception staff is sitting on torn chairs, not a go...
This hotel is not for the international traveller. We came here from Australia for the fourth time to India, after seeing the Lower lake and surroundings where there are a few hotels we would definately stay there next time. This hotel was in quiet surroundings but a long way from the major sights in Bhopal.
I had a pleasant five day stay at rajhans regent. Food was very good. Room was neat and clean. The size of room is small.
except parking everything is up to the mark. value for money.
Hotel was in bad condition, poor services, poor rooms, poor washrooms/bathrooms - will not recommend to anyone
It can be hard to find a hotel in Bhopal between 'horrible and cheap' and 'luxurious but expensive'. The Ten Suites feels like a 5-star hotel compared to the awful OYO we first booked into.
Check in was just ok as we reached around 10.30 we were served only bread butter and tea as breakfast but anyway hope for something good next day!Hotel is new and well maintained!Tourists can enjoy their trip ! Location is excellent!
A very good resort to stay which give full value of your money. I have stay there about 10 to 12 times. I will recommend this Hotel as the best of all in Bhopal.
the charged amount compare with given property was huge amount. if you do not have room than why you take booking. this was E-eCommerce responsibility they are only busy with add but not worried about the QC.
The bed sheet is broken and dirty,noAC,outside the window is a big rubbish pot,there are many cheaper hotel choices as this environment in Bhopal,the only advantage is near the railway station
Hotel is located in a crowded market with a very narrow roads. Cannot reach hotel with a car
It was OK, considering that it was India. You get what you pay for. Room was average. Bathroom door needs replacing as the type of Indian shower puts water right across the floor and the door was mouldy and disintegrating. But hey it was India. Staff were friendly enough. Would we stay again. Yes.
we reached their around 10 pm.It was very difficult o locate the hotel as no hording and even the nearby people don't know about the hotel. we have booked a suit but nothing apart from room size made us felt like that.The unexpected thing was the hygienic and cleanliness of room, the hotel did not bothered to sanitize the washroom and clean the room before giving us.
I had a wonderful stay at the Bhopal Grand Apartment. My room was kept clean and the hotel has high regard to the environment, minimizing carbon blueprint by encouraging guests to appreciate or opt to minimum sheet changes, etc. The staff have been helpful and treated me with respect. They prepared my breakfast nicely even on my last day when I had to leave at dawn, th...
When first I checked in, I got a room with cigarette smell and air condition without remote control, then the staffs changed the new room to me. Large room with 3 bed (to sleep alone), relatively clean, small TV with limited channels, air conditioned with ventilation, toilet is large with limited cold water in the morning (but very hot water) the water bucket provided ...
We really not satisfied with overall expectation of the Hotel. Normal checkout time is 12 am, we reach at 9 am , but they had not given the lead time also which is necessary in proper relationship
Location is the best location in Bhopal. Food is very good here. They provide only one water bottle irrespective of the number of days we stay. For others the check out is 24 hours and for online booking is 12 noon. This needs to change.
Ordinary stay. Bad mattress . Can be considered if u have some work in people's university/college. You will find similar hotels at less price in the city.
excellent. Father (sporting legend - The Speed Merchant), his graceful wife and their son Rishi were so warm and accommodating. one feels at home living like a duke in a very stately mansion. The porch opens out into the shore of the lake in bhopal and early morning walkers & joggers pass by outside the premises. A unique experience

This is a service apartment, that means it's a part of residential complex. The area is a suburb of Bhopal hence has limited options for food in nearby area. They provide satisfactory breakfast (complimentary) & paid dinner from in-house kitchen. Dinner charges are Rs. 200. The place is neat and clean, but the linens needed a visit to laundry. The room we got was adj...
The room was dirty and the furniture was broken bedsheets and flooring stained. It was only for a day but was a nightmare. Staff was not even supportive
Nice experience
We stayed two nights. We experienced a positive and welcoming atmosphere at the hotel. The staff were professional, friendly and ready to help. Our requests were met with a 'can do' approach. The hotel is conveniently located for the railway station, and the room met our needs.

This has got to be the dirtiest Hotel we have stayed in while in India. The bathroom was dirty, the sheets and cover stained, and the sheets had holes in them. We could only cope with one night and found somewhere else cleaner to stay.
