Swamy Resort

This review is for its resturant. Surely for service a five. Preparation is good, kitchen is clean and staff very courteous. It's at left side of front gate. You will find freshly prepared food. I have had food regularly on my visit to shirdi. But donot try pav bhaji. Just go for regular food items either north or south Indian delicacy. Jai Sai Ram

Good: Plenty of Car Parking area, room size, adjacent hotel restaurant, adhoc car cleaning service, walking area on premises is huge, it’s on main road so transport is good, manager or day time supervisor is good and understandable and accommodating. Bad: 1. AC only on request every time as it’s centralised so to ON we need to call reception. 2. Hot Water On request every time as it’s centralised and you will get only from 5.30 am up to 10 am. Before that you forget. After 10.30 am if you request you can get one bucket of hot water. 3. It’s very old building, definitely need renovation. 4. No garden area as shown in photos. 5. In some rooms landline won’t work. Check it. For us, one room it worked and other room it didn’t work. 6. Bed sheets are so old and stain every where even on pillows. Definitely they need to replace with new ones. 7. Ground floor rooms will have more mosquitos compared to 1st floor . So be prepared though they provide mosquito control machine but they are not much useful. 8. Drinking Water bottles are served but we need to pay at check out. No complementary for at least one time. 9. No lift so if u have lot of luggage u may need to depend on their helpers if your room is on first floor. 10. Night supervisor provide very bad customer service. Some times he is rude. We need to ask him hot water or ac multiple times. 11. All cupboards in rooms are very old. 12. Be careful and be prepared , you may see rats. In one of our room two small rats dead fallen from ac indoor system. Night supervisor gave us vague reason. So be careful with your luggage. 13. In lobby , no fans or ac . Very uncomfortable. 14. No car parking roof just if your lucky under tree shades you may get spot. 15. Though Covid cases are increasing in some places like Pune, Mumbai , Solapur at this point of time in Maharashtra . Workers at hotel don’t wear mask. 16. Night supervisor come inside room for ac or heater or tv issue with sandals or shoes after you occupied. He does not leave foot wear outside. Some of you may have problem with it. 17. If u have 4 am or 5 am or 6 am Darshan. Be prepared to bath with cold water as you will not get hot water until 5.30 am. Night supervisor wakes up at 5.30 am. 18. If u want to book room for more than 1 day book it first time only. We need to bargain a lot if booking adhoc. Night manager and Sheetal receptionist, they quote huge room price and it’s not worth. On travel website before booking for 1 day, we called up and asked if we extend for another day , will the price be same. They said yes . So we booked for 1700 for one day which by itself is costly as room and services not worth the money , now when we reached and in evening of first day asked second day extension price they quoted 2400 first time after bargain 2100 . We took two ac rooms. Then later morning supervisor or manager helped us in getting room for 1800 after discussion. 18. In one of our rooms, there are marks of roof damage , so in rainy season there could be water seepage. This building is very old and need renovation. 19. Towels , bed sheets, pillow covers are old and some of them may have non removable stains. So plan accordingly. Overall : pricing is not worth the facilities, not recommend for family, only for one day/night stay, be ready to bargain, multiple requests for ac, hot water/ heater, tv, hot water only after 5.30 am or 6 am on demand. It’s your choice now.
