I stayed at Park Hotel during a business trip, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing, something a colleague traveling the same day also encountered.
Despite the clearly stated 2 PM check‑in policy, we were casually informed on arrival that the rooms “weren’t ready”. When asked we were told it's because another group had checked out late. There was no genuine apology or ownership; the one “sorry” we received felt perfunctory.
We waited. We asked for a quiet place to take work calls since the lobby had loud music, and was very crowded, and were sent to the poolside restaurant, only to be handled rudely by one restaurant staff who indicated that we should “wait in the lobby” because the lobby sofas are the seating place for waiting guests and not the restaurant. The lack of coordination was unbelievable for a hotel at this price point.
After we escalated to the Travel agent, rooms were suddenly ready.
When we asked if they could at least place us on the same floor as a gesture of compensation, the request was denied. The only staff member who showed any warmth & was helpful during the entire stay was the security guard, everyone else seemed disengaged or unhappy, which makes me wonder if the hotel has a deeper work‑culture issue.
On top of that, once we finally got the rooms, the condition was another let down, as there was noticeable damp smell and dust on windows and on the exterior facade right outside and the bathroom fittings were in bad shape, very old and clanky design even the shower drain was clogged.
We didn’t bother reporting because we genuinely didn’t want more interaction with staff who already seemed uninterested.
On the positive side, the food was excellent, the Wi‑Fi worked well, and billing & checkout were fine. They helped us to store our luggage after checkout as we had to step out for an hour. And of course, the location is fantastic, probably the hotel’s strongest advantage.
But overall, nothing about the experience justified the high rates. With nearby premium hotels like The Lalit, The Leela, and ITC offering rooms in a similar range or only slightly higher price, I’d be inclined to choose one of those, next time, instead, unless Park Hotel makes meaningful improvements.
