Khajuraho Hotel Review

Hotel: Hotel Zen
Address: Jain Temple Road, Khajuraho, 271606
Comment:
Do NOT go to Hotel Zen, one of the worst guesthouses we stayed when we were in India, if not the worst. We got a very noisy room, with little insects flying in and out the bathroom from the ventilation. We had to keep the [...]

Prince Polonia Hotel has crappy rooms with crappy beds. Well, at least this is what we have experienced with this hotel. Yes, you may find several positive reviews of this hotel online. In fact, these are what got us into booking a room in this hotel. But, [...]

Comment:
This guesthouse has rooms with very nice view . Although it always took them forever to cook and serve the food we ordered, their food was great. It’s nothing fancy, just the basics like toast and porridge, but nevertheless, they tasted so good (Here is a post about [...]

Hotel: Umaid Mahal Hotel
Website: www.umaidmahal.com
Comment:
When we first got to the hotel, we were disappointed by its size. We were like, “so petite!” Since we thought it’s a palace, we were expecting something grand, with multi-level-ceiling lobby, spacious courtyard, and green beautiful gardens. And we saw none of these… Later we [...]

Hotel: Taj Home Stay

Comments:
This is one of the best hotels we have stayed in when we were in India. Since the hotel had opened for only three months by the time we were there in Feb 2008, everything was very new. Their complimentary breakfast was big, but because it was so good, [...]

When I was in Varanasi, I stayed in Scindia Guesthouse. Although somehow it always took them forever to make the breakfast, food there was great, and I especially liked their banana honey toast. In fact, it was so good that it kept lingering in my mind for the whole month when I was [...]
When in India, Eat as the Indians Do

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
This is the best way to learn and experience a culture. So we started with eating using our hands.
It really isn’t as hard as you think. Don’t read those warnings, complex instructions, all the shoulds and shouldn’ts about how one is supposed to eat listed in [...]
