Hotel Sonar Bangla Mayapur

ups: 1) property is new and well made. 2) view of the lake and pool is mesmerising. 3) dine in service from the hotel was prompt. 4) most of the staff is well behaved. 5) swimming pool is one of the main usp’s of the property. 6) they provided early checkin (which is always welcome) 7) even for check-out no one was on our heads. half n hour extension was provided without any hassle. downs : 1) cafe service at pool was not at all good. the cheese balls we got had no cheese at all. it looked like fried garlic buns. only saviour was french fries on the side. 2) dinner was average. we had ordered chinese. khichadi we ordered for kids was average and over priced. 3) cold drink was again over priced. 4) breakfast buffet was a big disappointment. for a 4 star property the spead was lacking. only plus was live dosa, tea and coffee. minimal fruits, no bakery items. no stirred/ boiled veggies or potato wedges/ baked beans etc. in the name of juice they had kept slice/ frooti i guess. 5) one of the milk kettles we ordered for kids cuddled on heating (within 2 hours post ordering). 6) limited place for game zone with no chairs to sit for adults/ waiting parents. all in all a good property. most staff well behaved. may with more experience in future it will pick up more. pricing seemed on the higher side, given the facility provided.

Located somewhere in the middle of a forest and area seems to be extremely unsafe specially at night. Located quite far away from Mayapur Iskcon temple. My experience was extremely horrible at this property. Due to heavy rain there was a powercut in the area. The hotel did not have any backup facility though they claim themselves to be of 5 star category. The generator was not functional and the staffs at the property were clueless. They were not ready to provide any kind of backup except for lame excuses. There was a water seepage issue in the room and there was full of water in the room. At night they provided us with 2 candles and asked us to manage the entire night without electricity in this scorching heat. Truly -5 star experience at this property... Think multiple times before booking this property.

We stayed at the property in a suite with my family. Nice property, well maintained. The rooms are spacious, clean and gives a fresh filling. The garden area is well maintained and full of greenery. Though we didn’t use the pool, saw lot of guests using it. The breakfast spread was mostly Indian, but good both quality and quantity wise. Service was prompt and polite. In dinner, we preferred in-room dining. Quantity was more than normal but was pricey. Taste was below par. Hotel has to really improve on the taste of dishes. Overall the impression was good and we may visit the property in future if again coming to Mayapore. Sanjay Mohanty

we had a wonderful family stay at hotel sonar bangla mayapur. the location is peaceful yet close to iskcon temple, ideal for a spiritual and relaxing trip. rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped. staff were extremely courteous and helpful, especially in accommodating our toddler’s needs. the property is well-maintained with open green surroundings. the in-house restaurant served tasty vegetarian meals, and they adjusted spice levels for our child. room service was prompt, and check-in/check-out was smooth. highly recommended for families visiting mayapur. we look forward to staying here again.
