Hotel Devi Empire

Not price worthy. Tv unit was not working. There was a dead spiders in ac vent. Fan regulator was not working. Almirah door was hanging out

Near by railway station hotel.

I have booked a four bed room for three persons, as triple bed room wasn’t available & requested for early check in, as we were reaching Katra around 8:15 am & we wanted to freshen up and leave for Vaishnodevi within an hour or so. Here is what happened next, I got the call from hotel’s ***ager saying that due to heavy rush & full on bookings, he can’t give early check in, which I thought can be a genuine reason. When I have asked him what can be done, he had suggested to cancel the booking (₹ for 4 bed room) & directly pay him ₹, where he’ll provide 2/3 bed room, whatever will be available, to freshen up & later he’ll provide 3 bed room & additionally he’ll provide the drop to Ban Ganga, which sounded good, but when I had asked him if you have lot of bookings, how you’ll keep the 2/3 bed room spare to let us freshen up then he said, he’ll do it. Then I had asked him, so why we can’t keep the original booking & you just provide us a room to freshen up, why you’re asking to cancel the booking, where he asked me to follow what he’s suggesting. After giving it a thought, I just kept the booking & didn’t do any booking with him directly. When we had reached at the hotel, the same ***ager was there & he had asked us to pay to freshen up & after negotiating he came down to ₹ and provided the drop to Ban Ganga. But the thing is, he had spare rooms, which he was giving to people for an hour or so, just to freshen up & charging randomly. After we got freshen up in 2 bed room (3 bed room was also spare & ***ager had shown us that, but it wasn’t in a good shape that’s why it’s not on for booking, if I could have paid him directly, we needed to forcefully stay in that room), we needed to keep our luggage in hotel’s store room & once we’re back from Vaishnodevi, we’ll get our room & luggage will get shift. I am not sure by then, how ***y people had got freshen up in that room. When we had reached back to hotel and got the room, it was clean but few things were here and there, which looked like someone had used the room in our booking time.

Location is good very near to railway station and food restaurants. Hotal ***ager is very friendly and helpful. Must recommend please

Location was good just in front

Room was very small, not proper ventilation. Bedsheet was very dirty no words for washroom terrible hotel staff is polite

Service ok, but amenities not upto mark, property not maintained properly

The bedsheets was dirty as it looked liked was never cleaned, food was below average and charged extra for dropping near the foothills

Hotel staff were very cooperative and helpful and attentive to every problem. Hotel can be considered for budget stay, rooms were clean but need some improvements like bathrooms fittings etc. Overall it’s good to stay for a single night or two for budget stay.
