Terrible Experience – Please Don’t Stay at Hotel Manaki, Janakpur
This is honestly one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at in my life. The service was really bad, and the staff treated guests very poorly. They were rude and didn’t seem to care at all about hospitality.
We agreed on a room price when I arrived, but when it was time to pay, they suddenly increased the price without giving any reason. On top of that, even though they had a PhonePe QR code displayed at the reception, they refused to accept payment through it. They forced me to pay in cash, which felt like a trick.
Overall, the whole experience felt very stressful and disrespectful. I felt completely harassed during my stay.

   Read moreI've stayed three times at Manaki Hotel during short (1-3 day) work trips. The Maithili art at the entrance and lobby are the best aspects of the hotel.

There are few options for lodging in Janakpur, and Manaki is absolutely sufficient (if not good value for money) for...
   Read moreI stayed here post covid and in December, 2020. Here is what I think of this place.
✔ centrally located ✔ close to Janaki temple ✔ Big rooms ✔ okay staffs (somewhat helpful) ✔ working A/C /TV
Now let me tell you why this place got 2 stars
✖ The room interior sucks ✖ The linens, comforters/blankets look worn out. ✖ There are open spaces in wall and has dust, molds and spider webs ✖ The restaurant does not serve anything else other than coffee ✖ The front desk staff is either busy on mobile or busy talking with each other ✖ I found this place insecure ✖ Staffs are untrained ✖ No basics of house keeping or even hospitality
This hotel has scope but running on age old management concept. I do not recommend this hotel if you are traveling with family or if you are planning not...
