Bodhgaya Regency Hotel

The property is good overall, specially for Buddhist pilgrimage. However if you are a pure vegetarian, you will face problems in food. Not only in the restaurant but in entire Bodhgaya. Apart from that we had a pleasant time in Bodhgaya and this hotel.

Very friendly staff

My main criteria were proximity to Bodhi , cleanliness and safety. Hotel met these three. But restaurant was not good. Food was not of acceptable quality but it was safe, I didn’t have problems after eating.

Travelled to Bodhgaya with parents in December. This hotel was booked via Expedia well in advance at rates rather high for the class of hotel it is. One room but for 3 adults. The extra person charged at INR 3250 per night. Prior to arrivals I sent emails several times directly and also via Expedia messages about late night arrival and asking if a pick up from Gaya rail station is possible ( the hotel advertises free airport transfers).I never received any response from Hotel. We stayed from 17 Dec to 19 December, room 129. On arrival there was nothing to indicate they were expecting us-instead they were asking and looking at my Expedia confirmation for all details including for the extra person charges. It’s location is quite good and close enough to the temples and local attractions. Large and attractive lobby was nice and the room was fine.The hotel promises free wifi. The wifi in first floor seems to connect but there was no internet for the 2 days we stayed. I reported this to reception and nothing was done apart from giving access to wifi at the lobby! Breakfast buffet was included and was okay. Checkout time is 12.00. At checkout I realised my bill says 2 rooms instead of 1 plus extra person and charges for both were taken but all adding up to the same total that was on Expedia quote leading me to suspect that rates in Expedia are much inflated than actual and final bill is cooked up to make it match the final Expedia. Taxi rates booked by hotel are highly inflated!
