I stayed at Udai Kothi from December 22nd to December 24th, 2024, as a female solo traveler, and it was the most distressing hotel experience I’ve ever endured. For ₹14,000 a night, I was given a room with no view, a leaking shower, and bed linen so stained it was outright disgusting. To make matters worse, I didn’t feel safe in the room—a basic expectation for any hotel guest. When I politely requested a room change, the front office staff brushed me off and told me to remind them later that night. At 11:00 PM, when I returned to the property and asked again, the owner, Mrs. Bhuneshwari, overheard my conversation. What followed was nothing short of a nightmare. Instead of addressing my concerns, Mrs. Bhuneshwari confronted me publicly in front of other guests and staff. She repeatedly demanded I explain why I didn’t feel safe. When I declined to share personal reasons, she humiliated me, saying, “You have some serious mental issues—get yourself checked out.” She then ordered the front office staff, specifically Mr. Narendra ( front office guest associate), not to change my room under any circumstances, despite available rooms. She walked away mid-conversation, leaving me stunned, insulted, and helpless. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was told that none were available because all managers had “clocked out.” Hours later, I discovered the General Manager was on-site the entire time but chose not to intervene. It was clear this hotel’s management prioritizes covering for their owner’s disgraceful behavior over providing basic guest service. The next morning, I was promised a resolution by 8:00 AM, but no one contacted me until I called at 12:00 PM. To my shock, the Front Office Manager, Mr. Aseef, hadn’t even been informed of the situation. It took over 12 hours of follow-ups and mental exhaustion before I was finally moved to a suite. Even then, I was given a hastily written four-line apology, which was only provided because I demanded it. This ordeal completely ruined my trip to Udaipur. Instead of enjoying the city’s beauty and culture, I spent my time feeling humiliated, harassed, and fighting for basic respect. I chose this property for what I assumed would be a safe and pleasant experience, but it turned out to be a source of constant stress and mental anguish. Adding insult to injury, the General Manager had the audacity to ask me not to leave a review after everything I endured. To make matters worse, some staff members even shared stories about how poorly Mrs. Bhuneshwari treats both her employees and guests. This property isn’t just poorly managed—it’s a toxic environment run by an unfit and abusive owner. If you value your peace of mind, safety, and dignity, do not stay at Udai Kothi. Udaipur is a beautiful city with many exceptional hotels. Spare yourself the nightmare I experienced and choose a property that values its guests. Photos of the filthy room and their insincere apology are attached for reference.
