Hotel Viraat Inn

8/10 Good

"They say you get what you paid for. This is the epitome of its kind. A rather run down hotel in a bustly city street next to a main line station. It is great if you wish to bed somewhere and heading to the railway the very next day (very noisy and dirty in the streets). Room has no A/C and availability of other amenities is silch."

Hotel Star Bodhgaya

10/10 Excellent

"Good staff no pool"

Hotel Taj Darbar

10/10 Excellent

"This is normal India... inside a property all is clean...the streets are terrible... the poor people live in horrible ways and the people who are well do a blind eye... I hope someday this country does better... it is not a problem of money... they have lots of money... but they do not see it as a priority"

Narayans Residency

10/10 Excellent

"Very responsive owner, clean room, quiet space, having access to a washing machine a real perk. Such a nice family, a real pleasant stay. Definitely recommend. "
