Hotel Mookambika Deluxe

Stayed in hotel in Feb 2025 .. Poor room cleanliness,Lot of cockroaches were in room, toilet was also dirty . service was not good.

They should provide towels, soap and mineral water for offline booking guests too. But staff was cooperative

The worst experience I had travelling in India for 3 months. Rooms are costly for what they offer. The bedsheets had stains and holes in some parts. The blankets didn't seem like they had been washed. The ceiling fan was noisy. If you stay towards the back of the hotel the WiFi signal doesn't reach your room. For this, they accepted after many requests to change my room location. |But the culmination of everything was the laundry service. Before booking, I asked if it was possible to get some laundry done. They said yes, I asked how much and they said the price would be per piece but never stated a price. The day after they wanted to charge me 450 rupees for 5 pieces of clothes (3 underwear, 1 T-shirt and 1 shorts). This amounts to 90 rupees per piece which I thought and shared with them was outrageous. All over India, I've been paying 20 rupees a piece sometimes even only 10. The maximum I paid was 50 a piece during Diwali weekend in Chennai. Still, this would have cost 250 rupees (for the 5 pieces). When I explained the situation the employee demanded the 450. I asked to speak to the manager who was only available on the phone. After speaking on the phone he slowly reduced the price to 100 rupees. I didn't have the exact amount to pay the employee so gave him a higher bill and asked for change. The employee refused to give the correct change and when I pointed that out he just waved me out of the hotel together with the other employees. I've travelled to many places all over the world and never experienced anything like this.|I would recommend avoiding this hotel if you want to avoid being scammed and tricked by the employees working there. I stayed at another homestay in Badami and the treatment and cost of the accommodation were way better. Please consider other options before booking Hotel Mookambika Deluxe. I hope they change their treatment for future customers. At least tell your customers from the beginning the cost of the laundry and they will be able to decide upfront if that's a price they find worth it.

Great value for price. "Deluxe" is not the word I'd choose to describe it, but it's comfortable and sufficient. The location is awesome, major sites all in walking distance. I was particularly impressed with the staff. The site through which I had booked the hotel had failed to forward my booking and the booked room was not available on the first night, but the staff was kind enough to give me different (bigger) room for one night with no added charges. Also extremely helpful in general with tips & arrangements.

Lodge management was really bad, and the receptionist was very rude and I wouldn't recommend staying here

Very bad very bad reception, cleaning ladies, very bad washroom and very bad behavior today customer. Paying 1500rs for such a disgusting room with dirty washroom gave me bad experience.

Worst Service, they didn't even open the gate to us at 1AM and on top of it they have collected full day amount from us

I stayed only for one night. My booking was originally at some other hotel but i had to stay here for one night due to some issue with the booking. I was sceptical at first but the Manager/Owner was very helpful. He made sure I was comfortable and also arranged for a cab for sightseeing. Rooms are slightly old and a little rough around the edges. But they are passably clean. The hotel is located right opposite the bus stand. So it is very convenient but also quite noisy (although I did not face much of an issue). Do not expect 5 star service but f you want a reasonay comfortable stay for a couple of nights this will do the job. The hotel has a bar but does not serve meals. Veg snacks are fine but nonveg is not.
