Had 1 night here and to be honest that was more than enough. Rooms needed a really good clean, dusty and unemptied rubbish bins. Slept in the best of the two beds in my room. Bedding wasn't very clean. However the bathroom had brand new fixtures and fittings which were spotless! Breakfast was interesting - you can have chips with... More

My girlfriend and I were traveling in India, and as I have a master's degree in Buddhism, we went to many Buddhist sites. While staying in Bodhgaya, we spent three nights at Hotel Tathagat. Of all the places we've stayed in India, this experience was the worst. Our room had no windows and was moldy; and during our three nights'... More

Our room cost us 1500 rps ( after bargain the price of 50% of course) and it didn't worth it! Lots of insect and nothing extraordinary at all...) But the staff was great..very nice. Restaurant is Ok, but expensive;

The dining experience is characterized by ambiguity. Sometimes the service and food are ok and sometimes unacceptable. Maybe they expect tips. The practice of tipping seems to be fraught with ambiguity in India. I suspect that Indians don't routinely tip, at least not as Westerners do, as a percentage of the bill. My impression is that Indian waiters don't understand... More

By far the worst hotel expirience i have had on my extensive travels. Where do i start, i know with the rats running through reception on the furniture as i sipped a beer along with other disbelieving guests! The staff although helpful were dressed in ill fitting filthy uniforms and they stunk. The room was awful as was the bed,... More

This hotel is very convenient for the main temple complex, but overpriced. The rooms are shabby and the bathrooms resemble Pontins chalets, circa 1950. That said, the big flat screen telly had all the usual Indian cable channels, though there seemed to be numerous power cuts. The breakfast was excellent, as was the food we ordered for lunch, but stay... More

I selected this hotel going by Trip Advisors review and by the cover picture. I was too naive. The picture alongside Hotel Tathagat is of the Thai Budhist temple, some distance away. The exterior of the hotel is really run of the mill, on the road hotel, very basic. I have attached the picture. First the plus: the location is... More

I stayed at this hotel on the 26th of September 2011 with friends from UK. Very small lobby and the staff at the reception were aloof. The rooms were very small and shabby and the linen were not very clean. The walls of most of the rooms desperately needs a fresh coat of paint.No toiletries in the wash rooms. The... More

nice location to Mahabodhi (main) temple. to entrance, only just 5 min walk. room is clean and safe. Midnight train arrived at Gaya Jn Railway Station early in the morning, our room was ready to use and could take a rest & shower. at first, we introduced a room that was bad condition. staff had noticed that, then he changed...
