"I have stayed at Sayaji Indore, Sayaji Kolhapur, have dined at Sayaji Pune, and each of this was a very satisfactory experience. Therefore, I booked Effotel Sayaji in Sangali expecting it to be equally good. But it turned out to be exactly the opposite.
The checkout time is 10:00 and we reached the hotel at 1900. Even if the room meant for us was occupied the previous night, they had 9 hours to get it ready for us. Yet, the room wasn't ready when we reached, and we had to wait.
We had booked and paid for 3 occupants. In all good hotels our experience is they bring a folding bed for the 3rd occupant. No such thing here. A mattress on the floor.
Despite having booked for 3 occupants, the room had towels, coffee mugs, only for two. (and a toothbrush only for one !) We had to ask for utilities for the third person. After several reminders a towel was given, but not the coffee mug.
Having dinner in the 13th floor restaurant, there was a power failure. The generator took almost 10 minutes to start. Apart from darkness, the hall became very hot and stuffy. On top of that they levied a 5% Service Charge in a Buffet !!
As for internet, I tried to pay for the dinner using my card. But the card-swipe machine did not work in the restaurant; didn't work in my room either. Finally, at the reception it wroked, but only when it was taken near the main door.
On the whole a very disapointing experience from Sayaji. I would not stay at this Sayaji ever again.

"This is a nice budget hotel. Although there was issue with lights going out couple of times and u need bucket & a portable heater for shower at night, overall stay was good. It's close to the train station and other attractions. Breakfast is good - chai is excellent. "
"room cleanliness and quality below par for the price charged. All types of service (HK, restaurant, in-room dining) very poor. Cleanliness and quality of food at restaurant also average, at best."
"Our visit to the property and reception by the front desk was excellent. They had my document ready. Just a signature of confirmation, ID proof and the room was allotted in 30 seconds.
While entered the room, it was very clean and fresh. The munch snacks were available inside the room.
All basic needs were in place.
Room service was above the level with highly humble and polite behaviour of the staff.
The breakfast offered by the hotel was very delicious with varieties.
Overall, it was very comfortable stay at the property.
We will surely consider this property for future stay."
"I had a very disappointing stay at VITS Hotel, Karad. Despite being a premium-priced property, the service quality was extremely poor.
• In-Room Dining was a nightmare — delayed responses, overpriced items, and basic amenities like water were not provided on time.
• Room service was unresponsive even after repeated calls.
• Hospitality was unprofessional — we submitted Aadhaar cards for both guests at check-in, yet were later asked to pay extra for the second person.
• The overall experience felt like we were being overcharged for below-average service.
This hotel clearly lacks proper management and customer service. I would strongly advise against staying here, especially for couples or anyone expecting even basic hospitality."

Holiday rentals provide amenities like WiFi and washers and dryers so you'll feel right at home. If you're concerned about a sanitised environment, holiday rentals can provide a sense of safety away from public hotel lifts and bustling concierge desks while still allowing you to travel. You'll also have more space in a holiday rental than in a traditional hotel, which is another reason why a holiday rental is a great option for family trips or small group gatherings.
