Allahabad is known for elegancy,soberness,decency and some very good food.I am an engineering graduate from Allahabad NIT way back in 1981 when Allahabad had no good hotels,Yatrik was the only place.I remember the best tailor in Civil Lines Tandon Tailors whose proprietor, a stylish and balded old man used to break his head that this city has no fashion sense....

This is not Delhi, Mumbai nor Bangalore or Rajasthan, so adjust your expectations right now. This is a 3 star hotel in Delhi but it boasts of being the only 4 star hotel in Allahabad, which is probably accurate. They recently renovated -- a few years back -- their so-called Club Rooms and the renovations were generally nice. Like too... More

Excellent property in the heart of the city with all good facilities. Rooms are nice with good housekeeping. Food also is great and so is the service. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there during Kumbh Mela.

Just stayed here for 5 nights. It is advertised as Allahabad's only 4 star hotel. Let me be clear, this is definitely not 4 star. In Europe it would be a 2 star hotel, here in India a very average 3 star. Good things - beds were comfortable, food was very good. If you eat from the buffet then all... More

I stayed for 2 nights at this hotel. My only real complaint is that everything about the hotel is a little dark: the corridors, the elevators, the restaurants and even the rooms. That said, the rooms are nice and the staff is very helpful. Slightly pricey for the services they offer. I would still recommend the hotel quite enthusiastically.

Undoubtedly the best hotel in Allahabad and is in centre of the city. Food is amazing in this hotel, especially the kebabs. The rooms have got all basic amenities and are well maintained. The staff are well behaved and courteous. The breakfast spread is also decent.

I have stayed twice at this property and found it to be the best in Allahabad. Though the hotel has a pretty old structured building but its like one of those aged 5 star hotels in Allahabad. Its very close to the Railway Station and has decent spread of breakfast. Rooms are decent too.

This is a good, basic hotel with a great central location just a short stroll from shopping centres and restaurants. The room facilities were adequate and some aspects had been updated eg there was a new flat screen TV and feature lighting. The room was clean and well appointed. The main downside was that the atmosphere was a bit smoky... More

You could get into this lovely hotel when visiting Allahabad. It is especially located in the main city and situated exactly opposite to Palace Cinema. It is also too close to the magnificent Allahabad High Court and also close to the Cathedral Church. It has a major of the facilities i.e. Room Services, Breakfast(free when you stay) and Dinner.
