Byland Star Hotel Review: A Disappointing Stay

I recently stayed at Byland Star Hotel, drawn by its reputation as a prime choice for Indian travelers. However, my experience was far from satisfactory due to several issues that made my stay uncomfortable.

Poor maintenance and hygiene standards. The carpets were visibly unclean, and the rooms had an unpleasant smell. Room's Temperature Control do not work. Despite changing rooms twice, the issues persisted across all rooms. Adding to the discomfort was the excessive traffic noise, even on the 7th floor. The hotel’s windows are not vacuum-sealed, making it impossible to block out the constant sound of traffic on one side and construction noise on the other. This noise disturbance was so bad that I found myself awake at 3 AM, unable to sleep.

The only positive aspect of the stay was the breakfast, which is perfectly suited for Indian travelers, and for that, I’m giving the hotel 2 stars.

However, breakfast alone cannot compensate for the lack of basic comfort and maintenance. If Byland Star Hotel wants to continue attracting travelers, they urgently need to improve their facilities and soundproofing. There are better options available in the same lane. My Suggestion - Book for one day initially and see if it meets your...

My three-night stay at Byland Star Hotel offered a decidedly mixed experience. The property earns its 3-star overall rating, though with notable strengths and weaknesses. The rooms (2 stars) were disappointing - while clean, they featured dated furnishings, thin walls, and maintenance issues that affected comfort. Service quality (2 stars) was inconsistent, with some staff being helpful while others seemed indifferent or undertrained.

The hotel's standout feature is undoubtedly its location (4 stars) - centrally positioned with excellent access to transportation, shopping, and dining options. This convenience factor partially compensated for the property's shortcomings. The attached video shows the area during rainfall, highlighting the busy urban setting surrounding the hotel.

The breakfast buffet offered basic options without much variety. Common areas were functional but lacked charm or character. For business travelers prioritizing location over comfort, Byland Star Hotel might suffice, but leisure travelers expecting quality accommodations should look elsewhere. At this price point, there are better options combining convenience with more comfortable...
