The Meadows Resort and Spa

Rotten, a lizard in room, 100s of mosquitos in room, property very run down with mould in bath room, sheets not washed, we found somebody pile of hair in bed. Stinks and smells of mould. We checked out and moved to another hotel in 10 minutes. Loud noise outside, like a boom box on head.

Hotel Staff are good and want to help in case of difficulty. But the resort is totally in a bad shape with no internal street lightings , poor maintenance, absolutely bad cleanliness etc . During my stay , there was a rat scare in the room, the staff came to help out , but the rat could not be located . All this is due to poor maintenance. The rooms were dusty upon arrival . Food quality is just average . I ordered some Thai curry for dinner , but the curry was no where near actual Thai curry . I think they don’t have enough staff to manage and the owners are not bothered about the proper upkeep of the resort. Totally a bad experience. The rooms are very old model and not updated as per current needs .

The Meadows is the strangest hotel I've ever stayed in. Here are the pros: our flight from Mumbai landed at 6:15 am and The Meadows was able to provide us with an early check in. The rooms are all little cottages, and had a lot of outlets, so you can charge your devices easily. However, the bathroom consistently had a swarm of small flies in it. I asked the front desk to have housekeeping deal with it, but I don't think he understood my English. I ended up smushing at least 30 little flies myself. In addition, our bed had ants in it at least twice, despite the sheets being changed. Because it's a resort, and because the area it's in is largely residential, you're stuck eating at the hotel restaurant. I booked it because it meant that our drive to Ellora Caves would be a little shorter, as it's on the way. The table cloths were consistently dirty (stained with food) and unpressed. None of the waitstaff seemed to speak English very well. Literally every single menu was different - some items were listed in one menu but not another. This meant that your orders were taken very literally, because not even the waitstaff knew what was on the menu! So if the menu said "gulab jamun with ice cream" and you ordered the gulab jamun, you got...gulab jamun. No ice cream. In addition, even though it's set up to be a swanky resort, the grounds were always dirty. There were beer cans and water bottles strewn about, and stray dogs roaming around. On the whole, I was unimpressed.

Great property but the rooms are very run down and haven't been maintained at all. This place has definitely seen better days. I wouldn't go back...

Cleanliness is good. property is good. However, the place is understaffed. Many items from the food menu were not available. Spa service too doesn't have many of the service mentioned in the menu unavailable. There was lack of communication between staff.

they need lot improvement in service side, bed sheets were not clean and we have ask them to change

Poor food and very little coordination between front office and other staff. The place has potential unfortunately not living upto it.

Nice and quiet hotel in the outskirts of Aurangabad

The Meadows is very nearly twice as good as it is. The staff are kind and courteous, the village-like campus is lovely, the food good. Three drawbacks: the layout is so complex that I always lost the way between my room and reception or the dining room or wherever; the internet in the room sometimes doesn't work at all even when it says it's working; the restaurant service is very slow and too anxious .

Not a good one. Had to ask for supplies like towels, shampoo. Supplied used bottle of soap,shampoo etc. Not a 3 1/2 stars. May be one star. Advertisement misleading, should disclose up front, these are cottages out of they way.,,'

This was a wonderful relaxing oasis to use as a base to explore the Ellora and Ajanta caves. Staff were thoughtful and efficient from the front office staff to the housekeeping and the restaurant staff. Food was delicious. A car and careful, thoughtful driver were organised for my excursions. The grounds are beautiful and fragrant with flowering trees and plants and birdsong fills the air. Such a different experience to the normal India hotel stay.
