Bodhgaya Regency Hotel

The property is good overall, specially for Buddhist pilgrimage. However if you are a pure vegetarian, you will face problems in food. Not only in the restaurant but in entire Bodhgaya. Apart from that we had a pleasant time in Bodhgaya and this hotel.

Very friendly staff

BATHROOM SHOWER WAS FOR SMALL CHILDREN'S HEIGHT. COULD NOT EVEN SIT AND TAKE SHOWER. TOO TINY BATHROOM

Travelled to Bodhgaya with parents in December. This hotel was booked via Expedia well in advance at rates rather high for the class of hotel it is. One room but for 3 adults. The extra person charged at INR 3250 per night. Prior to arrivals I sent emails several times directly and also via Expedia messages about late night arrival and asking if a pick up from Gaya rail station is possible ( the hotel advertises free airport transfers).I never received any response from Hotel. We stayed from 17 Dec to 19 December, room 129. On arrival there was nothing to indicate they were expecting us-instead they were asking and looking at my Expedia confirmation for all details including for the extra person charges. It’s location is quite good and close enough to the temples and local attractions. Large and attractive lobby was nice and the room was fine.The hotel promises free wifi. The wifi in first floor seems to connect but there was no internet for the 2 days we stayed. I reported this to reception and nothing was done apart from giving access to wifi at the lobby! Breakfast buffet was included and was okay. Checkout time is 12.00. At checkout I realised my bill says 2 rooms instead of 1 plus extra person and charges for both were taken but all adding up to the same total that was on Expedia quote leading me to suspect that rates in Expedia are much inflated than actual and final bill is cooked up to make it match the final Expedia. Taxi rates booked by hotel are highly inflated!

Air cond is noisy and dusty Room service not up to standard

My main criteria were proximity to Bodhi , cleanliness and safety. Hotel met these three. But restaurant was not good. Food was not of acceptable quality but it was safe, I didn’t have problems after eating.

This hotel is pleasure for those guest who want facilities with peace .Great view from inside and outside also.Inside electric lighting was amazing.Room feel great impression. Comfort level was high.Staffs are friendly. Area is very excellent.

The hotel is in a good location, away from the hustle and bustle, but still easy to get to the temple by rickshaw or walking (about 15-20min). The rooms were a good size, clean (even a fresh paint job in the rooms) and the mattresses (memory foam) comfortable. Occasionally there would be no hot water, but management sorted it out quickly after a phone call to reception. Hotel staff were good, and the restaurant staff very accommodating of dietary requirements. Overall would say this is a good choice for Bodhgaya, even though a little on the expensive side. Rooms on a higher floor on the side of the hotel carpark are probably preferable.

It's great to stay in a comfortable hotel for a great price,,My rooms were spacious and clean.The hotel is very clean and the room is smart decorated. The bathroom was superb.Staff are very helpful and nice

Beautifully clean and perfect location.Attentive staff. Lovely breakfast and plush large rooms.The rooms and bathroom are good size with very comfortable bed.

Bring your own towel if possible. Suspicious stains on their towels! Toilet seat is for giants and installed the wrong way. The guy in the hotel helped call a car for us to the airport. Be aware that you have to pay extra.

horrible experience,, power shortage,, internet connection drops off,, smelly wash room,, sheets very dirty .Overall very bad hotel.. at the time of checking out unexpected charges.. very bad experience.

We stayed just one night and liked almost everything of this hotel. Located near Japanese Temple. Our room were big and nicely furnished and bathroom attached. Ac were excellent to beat the heat of Bodhgaya. Staff were polite, cooperative with smiling face.

Very clean and very convenient. Staff are friendly and housekeeping were really nice.Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Rooms spotless. The rooms are clean and tidy. Great location. Checked in and Duty Manager was not only welcoming but also made us feel like we were the only ones staying in the hotel. The room was all we needed large bed clean bathroom and most of the comforts of home don''t think.

First impression was ok til checked into the room and found that shower was not hot, a light bulb was out, old kettle not working, aircon blowing into face when in bed, poor wifi etc. . The hotel changed room on next day which had hot water when checked in but had cold showers for the remaining 3 nights!.The room was not soundproof and doors banging could be heard all night.

I was quite ill when I arrived & they kindly upgraded to a deluxe king. The room was spacious & clean, & the bed comfortable, but the good ends there. They promised me wifi access - I was flat on my back in bed for three days & hoped to use the time to work. They managed to get it working once for about 20 minutes but then never again, and just continued to lie, saying it WAS working, or that it was my devices, etc. The bathroom stank so bad of sewer gases it made me retch. There was never hot water - only lukewarm. There was no do-not-disturb sign in the room so staff was continually knocking on the door. From my sickbed, I would yell "no thank you" or "later please" but they just persisted, to the point where they turned the knob & shook the door, trying to get in. I KNOW they could hear me, because I could hear them clearly, yelling at one another and arguing as they made their way down the hall, cleaning rooms. At one point a manager even stood in the hall berating an employee for 10 minutes at the top of his lungs. They park buses along the side of the hotel that fronts the rooms & yell every night to get them jockeyed in, then the buses run their engines & A/C for hours, making it difficult to sleep. The last day they actually blocked my phone so I couldn't call reception. I'd told them on arrival that I'd stay 5 add'l days but after 3 days couldn't take any more & said I'd be leaving the following morning. They tried to hold me up for 50% of the price of those 5 nights

Poor bathroom shower was not working and dlrty bedding smelling.

We selected this hotel because we were attracted by its iconic building appearance and the high rating at Expedia.com and at Tripadvisor. This actually concurs with my expectation when my family and I stayed there for 1 night in two rooms. The room design is contemporary and spacious, and acoustically good and screened from outside traffic noise. The king size bed is comfortable with ample air conditioning and shower hot water. The lighting control is easy and user friendly, and the room throughout is well illuminated. All staff were excellent from back to front, and professional, particularly my family experienced very well service during the breakfast and Dinner.

Our family enjoyed the stay with Bodhgaya Regency Hotel.Location is superb and staff professional, honest, helpful.We forget our camera and glass in the room.They found it and returned when came back to collect our stuff in the evening.Certainly choose the same hotel in next visit to Bodhgaya.

This was our pilgrim trip to Gaya and Bodhgaya. We had to perform pind dan and front office staff helped a lot specially Nayan who arranged pandit and all necessary materials to do so and also vehicle.
