Hotel Gir Scintilla

PROS: If you are someone who likes to waste money on worthless things, then definitely go for Gir Scintilla!!

MINUS 5 STARS Fellow travellers - Hotel Gir Scintilla should permanently reside in your black list, whenever you plan to visit Sasan Gir. Its high time these travel & shopping portals include minus rating for outright horrible experiences coz if they did, Gir Scintilla would fare even worse than minus five stars. CONS: 1) Manager/Staff: The misery began even before we had sat foot in the hotel. We were sightseeing at a wonderful place called Uper Kot in Junagadh on 13th Nov morning and were supposed to reach Gir Scintilla same day afternoon. A twerp called Haresh Kukadia calls up from the hotel & says that I need to make half payment right away otherwise booking will be cancelled. Enraged, I told him that I've been booking hotels through Booking.com since its inception and not even once had any hotel/resort asked in advance either about our arrival status or payment! He kept on insisting aggressively and only after an overt threat of lodging a complaint with tourism authorities did he relent in his quest for advance payment. 2) Location: Of all the places that I've traveled so far; both domestic and abroad, location of this hotel is one of the worst I've encountered. It's located within such a narrow lane where even parking a motorbike is impossible let alone a car. 3) Food: No restaurant hence no food available in hotel. One has to walk as far as half a km. from the hotel for grabbing a bite. When I said that why did they put availability of restaurant on booking.com even though it wasn't, a lame argument about thier cook fleeing to his native a couple of days ago was shot across my brain! 4) Service: Pathetic! Absolutely pathetic!! TV set was not working in one of the rooms and even after 4 reminders it wasn't fixed. 5) No Hot Water: Even after spending 2500/- bucks per night for one room excluding service tax, these noobs don't provide basic facility like hot water.

Nothing. Had a lift.

No Cleanliness, dirty linens, Charged Extra bed was a “desi cotton gadda” which was smelling rotten, very very dirty bedsheet was provided which we refused & got replaced with a comparatively less dirty one. Bathrooms were stinky & overall property is maintained poorly. Will never visit this place again.
