Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Alkapuri, Vadodara

Overall good service as always

We stayed at the hotel for three days. Centrally located in a good locality of Alkapuri, near to railway station. Found the staff at the reception during check in a bit slow paced but courteuos. Efficiency needs to be stepped up during the check in process. Rooms were small, clean and with adequate amnities. Both restaurants on premises served good food, especially Peshawari. Surprisingly they did not serve any variety of rice preperations, which needs to be included. Breakfast had more than adequate variety of food for all palates. Definitely recommended for a good stay in Vadodara.

Update: Jan. 13th I went back to the hotel today not as a guest but just to see if the sewage smell on the bottom floor was still there. Sure enough the ground floor still smells like sewage. I would suggest to anyone who decides to stay to not eat or stay on the ground floor. Based on some research it seems the hotel has a serious mold problem which can cause life shortening respiratory issues. No way I will ever go back here, and you shouldn’t either !!!! Original post TLDR; place is unsanitary and needs to have a health inspection done asap !!!! What a nightmare, we got in around 10 pm from a 30+ hours of travel, the lobby had a light smell of sewage. They took us to our room on the ground floor. It was obvouse that from the recent floods that the lower lever had some massive flooding. As the we rented the room you could smell all kinds of bleach products ***** with what we later discovered was mold and overflow. Sewage drains. We requested a new room and they said they would take care of it the next day. So we goto breakfast and in the restaurant where they serve food is the same nasty smell. At this point the consigliere informed me that we would put us in a new non sewage room. I explained they have 100% lost my trust. Then the guy started threatening me with all these charges if I cancelled my other 8 days and moved to a different hotel.
