Hotel Navaratna Palace — Hotel in Karnataka

There's nothing Deluxe in this Hotel. See the pics. Staffs are not friendly at all. They don't know how to greet the tourists. while check-in complimentary soaps weren't given. there was no one to carry our bags to the room and had to climb 3 floors which top floor which means it's very hot. during night while sleeping there were so many mosquitoes and we couldn't sleep the whole night and also climate was very hot. next morning we ask one guy at the reception about Mosquito repellent machine and complimentary soaps. he said I booked the room thru goibibo so I will not get such things. in the evening after returning from sight seeing there was some other guy at reception and we asked him why no soaps and Mosquito repellent wasn't given. he was shocked and asked us who refused to give. we pointed to that guy who refused to give. we then decided to sleep in AC room as we couldn't sleep that night. I understand that we have to pay extra for AC room and I agreed. we were then given the key and a guy accompanied us to check the ac room. my wife and I thought the AC is working so we we went to 3rd floor to pack our clothes and bring them to 1st floor. that guy still didn't help us with luggages although he came with us to 3rd floor. Came back to activate room, we found that AC was still on but the room wasn't cool. that guy took some time to play with ac remote. he went down n sent some other fellow. he too couldn't do. we moved the other account room. next room ac too was giving problem. again we had to move to third room and finally we were satisfied. but bathroom is this room has broken commode frame (see pic attached). there's no clealiness and maintenance of AC at all. In all rooms there's a small poster mentioned mobile numbers to contact for room service and canteen service and none of these numbers work. So my dear fellow friends, this hotel is not worth staying if you want to have...

This is an old school lodge with keys place on the key matrix behind the check-in counter and Bell press for room service. :). The location marker on Google maps is slightly off. I had reserved a 4 bed room, but I needed only 3 and that too on a lower floor since there is no lift. The manager was accommodating and offered us a double bed plus an extra bed. This lodge has a number of combos, including a 3 bed one. But the 3 bed was not available. There are AC rooms as well. This cost us around Rs.1700, much lesser than the 2200 room I had reserved. The room was clean. TV was old but working. Bathroom was clean with western toilet. I had opted for a Non AC room. The fan was sufficient and the surroundings had lot of coconut and other trees, so the room was quite cool. There wasn’t much traffic noise and we got nice, sound sleep. There were mosquito nets on the windows and there was Good Knight in the room. In the morning we got hot water. It was really nice and hot it was great to have a nice bath in chilly weather. The lodge claims ample parking space. That is a bit of an exaggeration. There is space between the lodge and the road, which can accommodate around 6-8 cars max. I first parked on the street, but then space opened up and I managed to squeeze my car in that space. The location of the lodge is quite close to the beach. We didn’t visit the beach, but it should be around half a kilometer. ||Recommendation: Overall I would recommend this lodge for a budget traveler looking to spend a night or two. But if you are looking for an upscale hotel there are other...

Tell you what, i got a bad deal online!!..this was a first for me. I had to make a hurried booking for Karwar, went online, couldnt get anything in the budget that the official trip was offering,and finally had to settle for this on Cleartrip.com. They charged me 1000 bucks a night..when i landed there the room was going for 850 a night. Also, there was no option for a single room available online, only a double non ac. You dont need ac here in february. The single non ac costs 550 a night. So if you are single, on a tight budget, this single non ac fits the bill. I had made the full payment in advance, and there was 0 refund, so couldn't change my room. So no cleartrip next time. ||The room is clean. Nothing great about the linen and bathtowels. Bathroom is clean. The young men/boys who work there are from obviously disadvantaged sections of society and most of them come from far flung parts of the country as local labour is no longer willing to work at the salaries offered...and its not a very pleasant sight to see them lying around in dirty clothes all over the place, but i am very clear i am not blaming them. One of them, while carrying food to a room, was using the spoon to scratch his back..so that meant i wasnt gonna order no room service there, thats for sure. There is the famous Amruth hotel right across the road, with lip smacking sea food. Its also close to the beach. And they don't have filtered water on the premises! They will give you well water. But you can get mineral water, 30 bucks for 2 litres, at the stall...
