Hotel Placid Allahabad

Hotel is located strategically near to every place of interest or pilgrimage. Has all amenities. Cabs and public transport is readily available. Airport is 40 mins drive. The food is good and they have multi cuisine kitchen. The staff is polite and efficient.

I was staying for official purpose for 5 days as i had some local visits todo. I had to book the hotel on first night as my travel desk person was on leave. I checked in late night and staff was on duty desk. Reception areas was heated by central heating system and felt nice as outside was cold 10 degrees. Room was given quickly and when i entered it was big and clean room as good as a star hotel. Bedsheets and covers were very clean, towel could be better. It looked old and gray and way too heavy. Bathroom was spotless clean. Everything looked like new or renovated. Corners did not have dust or dirt. No rats or cockroach. Room smelled clean and fresh. Window is large and glass. Faces north so gets some clean sunlight in room. Room service is quick. Food selection can be lot better but looks like not many guests come to restaurant to eat so it's mostly empty. They always made me fresh simple food whenever i asked. And, g ajar halwa you can try.

Room was excellent with all amenities, hygiene was also good, staff was also courteous. Overall our stay at hotel placid was satisfactory though a bit high priced. Will recommend others
