Sagar Niwas

Comfortable stay, mostly hospitable hosts.

It is a PG type of room where one can short stay a couple of days for a business trip. Naturally one can't expect staff facilities at this low cost of rent say Rs.1500/night. Be vigilant that no car parking or even a bike parking available. But plenty of all eatables available in the immediate vicinity even at 11:00 pm (night), I comfortably had my dinner at 11:00 pm without feeling the late-night discomfort. Safety of stay (even with family & kids) is assured since the PG is located and surrounded by residential houses and other PGs. Overall, for a budget stay, it is fully recommended.

No significant dislikes to highlight.

Fantastic

Very good

To be honest I was quite apprehensive before making a booking here, based on the reviews. The property expects full payment shortly after booking (as is mentioned on booking.com), although there is a free cancellation policy in place. This was initially unnerving for me, but I went ahead anyway. I was confused between staying here and Hotel Trending Stay, and although Hotel Trending Stay was cheaper, and didn't require prepayment, I went with staying at a "homestay" rather than a "hotel". And I was NOT disappointed! I did not try the breakfast or any other meals during my stay, so I cannot comment on the same. The hotel is located about 100 metres off the main road, making it inaccessible by car and only somewhat accessible by auto-rickshaws. However, the surrounding area felt safe and welcoming, with plenty of food and convenience stores nearby. The highlight of my stay was the exceptional hospitality. Mr. Sagar and his family go above and beyond to ensure guests are comfortable, and the staff’s warmth and promptness exceeded my expectations. The rooms are clean, though slightly worn, reflecting the long-standing nature of the business and the experience of its management. While minor inconveniences arose, they were promptly addressed by the attentive staff. If you’re visiting one of the nearby hospitals or Jamia Millia Islamia, this is a great budget-friendly option. While it doesn’t offer luxury, it ensures a safe and clean stay with excellent service.

The management is upfront about the absence of a lift/elevator, so I was well-prepared for it. However, the staircase leading to the first floor is quite narrow and steep, which could be challenging for those with mobility issues. This is more a consequence of the area's compact layout rather than a fault of the homestay itself. While not a criticism, it's something to keep in mind if you have difficulty with stairs, as navigating them may require extra caution.

No hygiene...
