SRI MAHALAKSHMI HOTEL AND LODGE

Good location, nice helpful staff. Inexpensive but okay thalli meals at the restaurant.. Good parking space. But the rooms are in bad shape. The bedsheets are washed, but it has so many stains. Old blanket also. The steps are narrow, and the steps to first floor are very steep. Able bodied youngsters must also be careful, especially with luggage in hand.

Do not be fooled by fake reviews Location - 8 kms away from KSRYC bus stand . 3.5 kms from Railway station Rooms cleanliness - no lock for bathroom. Moderately clean Hot water - you have to take bath only from morning 06:30. I.e the time they wake up to switch on solar. You have to end up with cold water if you take early bath Aadhar - They will hold your aadhar originals until you check out. If you ask why can't you take a photocopy, they will say this is their policy. STAY AWAY

I stayed with my friends in this hotel for a single night. I can't say it in a few words such as disgusting, awkward etc. Such a horrible hotel. They charged 1800 per night for 3 persons. The rooms were so unclean, unhygienic for anyone. Bedsheets were not cleaned and covered with full of hairs and dust. Rooms are also like dustbins. The toilet was horrible like anyone can get multiple infections. Even they haven't provided us toilet rolls. I asked them to clean the room but the person is saying adjust for one night. After request he himself cleaned the toilet and spread that water completely inside the room. In my life I had never seen such a disgusting hotel in my life. Please friends it's a completely fake reviewed hotel so avoid it in any way. I'm attaching pics of it.

Looking for a pet-friendly hotel in Shimoga proved to be quite a task, and after much search, I chose this hotel based on its 4.6 rating. Turns out, that the rating might a marketing gimmick and not genuine. The cleanliness was seriously lacking, especially in the washrooms with their broken doors, unclean and rusted taps, mirrors etc. There were quite a few power cuts in the night and, there were disturbing noises that felt like objects being thrown throughout the night. The rooms were unhygienic. Giving 1 star for this place only for 3 reasons: they accommodated our pet, AC was working and provided hot water in the morning. The behaviour of the staffs was okay and not up to the mark. This place isn't located in the heart of the city, it is away from the city and no buses will be available to travel to this place unless you have your own vehicle to move around. However, considering the overall state of the hotel and safety concerns, I don't recommend it for a stay.

Rooms and service is pathetic. There was no mats in the bathroom. Bathroom fittings are broken. No hot water. Staff at the lodge had no odea about anything. No response to queries or complaints. The rooms are overcharged for the facilities available.

Wish I could give it a negative rating! Gross sheets with blood and yellow stains... and no soap or any toiletries. Cockroach infestation in the bathroom, and dusty smoky smell in rooms covered strong perfume like smell that gave us allergies... please don't come here worst experience ever

I booked overnight stay for my parents and they had a really bad experience. There was no basic amenities and the shower head broke. When my father enquired at the reception, the staff was clueless.

Not recommended to anyone. We stayed here for 1 night. The resort is in very very bad condition. Rooms are very unhygienic and not properly ventilated. No hot water in bathroom, geyser was not working. No WiFi, no working TV. Lack of maintenance. You won't touch the water taps if you look at the condition. Please check the photos. Think 100 times before booking any room here.
