Hotel Amarabati

Overall good experience for a day. Location is good and restaurent service within the hotel is also good. Staffs are helpful. But the rooms could have been more spacious.

I booked it from make my trip. They took extra 1000₹ rupees without bill.
The behaviour of receptionist was unacceptable, We had complimentary breakfast and they took charges for room service, I just can’t imagine that if I have complimentary breakfast how come they are taking charges on it. And the food quality was not good at all. They served two toasted bread for a person and one cup of tea if customer is asking then, they didn’t even inform anyone that they have tea also with the breakfast. Overall experience was so had I couldn’t stay a whole day. I’ll never suggest or i’ll never go there again.

The hotel rooms are quite specious and nice. Beds are enormous.
However, staffs are impolite. The maintain a military camp. If you fail to place your order on the dot, then you have to arrange it for yourself. The only thing that I regret in this tour is the hotel staff!

Very disappointing stay. The room was unclean, with stained sheets, a musty smell, and mold in the bathroom. Basic amenities were broken, the AC didn’t work and the furniture was falling apart. The water pressure was terrible, and hot water was barely available. Staff were unresponsive and seemed uninterested in helping. For the price, the quality was far below acceptable. Definitely not worth it. I wouldn’t stay here again or recommend it to anyone.

I had a terrible experience at this hotel. The service was extremely disappointing—staff were rude, inattentive, and unhelpful from check-in to check-out. When I asked for basic assistance, I was either ignored or met with attitude. The room was even worse: dirty carpet, stained sheets, and a foul smell that never went away. The bathroom looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks, and there were bugs near the window. I expected far more for the price I paid. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and book elsewhere. This hotel was a complete letdown.
Bokachoda.

A middle class hotel with pool. Rates on weekends do not justify the quality of rooms which are not maintained as per modern standard. Pool is good, clean and usable. Staffs are courteous but do not expect modern hospitality standards. Foods are good but with limited options. You may or may not come back to this property.

One of the best hotel in Bakkhali. This is a family trip and we enjoy a lot. They have a swimming pool, with clean water. Specially I like their food. Food quality and taste is too good. There is so many restaurant on outside but there quality is too poor. If you want good food with affordable price then go for it. Yes. You have to be swimming costume or this type synthetic dress for using the pool. However, we enjoy our trip.

I just stayed one night at Hotel Amarabati. In course of time I have stayed in several hotels at Bakkhali. However this time I did choose this hotel due to presence of swimming pool in the property despite of the location of this hotel, which is almost one km away from the beach. However the decision further burdened with great repentance.
First, I would like to describe some good things.
This property has a descent parking and got a lift (which we didnot use as we stayed in the ground floor), working remote for AC and TV, good water pressure at ground floor rooms. And thats all.
The list of cons are bit long.
1) First and foremost, the staffs including the manager is extremely arrogant, impolite and unhappy soul. Period. PERIOD.
You will never feel welcome and never expect any homely feel from any staffs.
2) SWIMMING POOL.
(If you call a 6 meter × 9 meter tub a pool)
Non Filtered with super strong smell of Chlorine bleach.
The swimming pool has some weird timing. 12 pm to 2.30 pm and then 5 pm to 9 pm. And the management is strict to keep the timing in force with extreme caution. Even if your child will request to swim for 10 more minutes, the caretaker will not listen and simply close the pool.
Though this property has a pool, the timing is chosen in such a way that the guest will not be able to use the facility mostly.
The caretaker is gifted with god's sense of touch and feel.

Stayed at Hotel Amarabati, Bakkhali recently, booked via Cleartrip. One of the main reasons I chose this hotel was the swimming pool. However, my entire day was spoiled due to poor communication and unprofessional behavior by the hotel staff.
When I went to use the swimming pool, I was told that only synthetic swimwear is allowed. Nowhere was this mentioned on the Cleartrip site during booking. When I questioned this, the hotel staff simply said “We informed Cleartrip; it’s not our fault if they didn’t put it online. ”
I wasted over 1 hour escalating the issue with Cleartrip, who finally said “This is hotel policy, and we were not informed either. ” So whom should the customer blame? This is clearly a lack of coordination between the hotel and the booking partner.
To make matters worse, the hotel staff rudely insisted I buy swimwear from them instead of offering rentals or proper alternatives. Two receptionists spoke in a tone that was completely unacceptable and tried to force me to purchase suits if I wanted to enter the pool. This is nothing short of harassment.
This kind of behavior is totally unprofessional and shows how little the hotel management cares about their guests' experience. I sincerely request the hotel owner to train the staff better and ensure transparent communication of such policies before booking, not after guests have already paid.
This experience ruined a good part of my vacation. I hope others read this before choosing this hotel.

I dont liked the room prices as compared to the room types! They are offering basic room in the price of deluxe. The mattress of the rooms are so uncomfortable. Just a basic 4” mattress! There is no power socket near the bed to charge your phone. The room blanket was smelling like a rotten dead mouse. I am sharing the pics of the room below, so you can have an idea of the things I am trying to point out!
The staff behaviour could have been better, I think the hotel staffs and receptionist are being recruited from any security guard agency, having no experience of hospitality, as their behaviour and attitude was very rude!
It was just a nightmare for me.
*Booking the hotel room will make you realise your school days, going to the school without doing homework! Jokes apart.
Coming to the amenities,
Yes they do have car and bike parking area and dining, but no complementary breakfast.
Specially the swimming pool timings are so Odd!
The room checkout timing is 11:00 am max; whereas the swimming pool timing is after 12:00pm to 2:30 pm. Haha!
Which means someone who is booking the hotel rooms after 2:30, they will not be able to access the pool in the day time or even the next day if you are checking out!
Admin please do work on these issues.
Because guests coming to your hotel, they do visit many other places and hotels and they can differentiate whats missing in your place!
All the best.
But as per my personal experience,
I never want to book this hotel ever again.

Receptionist attitude and behaviour very bad… service very bad… Don't visit this hotel, it just wasted your money.

Title:** Disappointing Stay with Few Positives.
I had a disappointing experience at Hotel Amarabati Hotel. The room was not well-maintained and felt uncomfortable. The staff was unhelpful and lacked professionalism. The washroom was dirty, adding to the unpleasant stay. Additionally, they do not accept online payments, which was very inconvenient. The location is also far from both the sea beach and the bus stand, making commuting a hassle.
On the positive side, the hotel has its own parking facility, and there is a swimming pool, but the access is restricted to limited hours. They provided complementary 2 liters of water along with toothpaste and toothbrush, but unfortunately, the toothbrush was extremely hard and not usable.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless improvements are made in cleanliness, service, and amenities.

Hotel Amarabati in Bakkhali offers a moderately comfortable stay for travelers looking for a budget-friendly option near the serene beaches. While the hotel provides basic amenities, there is significant scope for improvement in certain areas.
The rooms are clean and equipped with the essentials, but maintenance seems to have taken a backseat. Some fixtures and furnishings could use better upkeep to enhance the guest experience. Additionally, the property operates with limited staff, which can lead to delays in service during peak hours.
The on-site restaurant has potential, but it requires better menu variety and more focus on food quality. Guests expecting a lavish dining experience might feel let down, but for simple meals, it suffices.
The pool is clean and well-maintained. But the timings are odd. There is no slot for accessing the pool in the morning (A big let down).
Overall, Hotel Amarabati is a decent choice for travelers on a budget who are more focused on exploring Bakkhali’s attractions than indulging in luxury. However, improved maintenance, a stronger workforce, and better restaurant services could significantly elevate the experience.

Room quality and environment is very good. You can visit there with your partner/ soulmate… fabulous environment and service quality is too good …
Best on it's price also…

A budget hotel at Bakkhali which we stayed in. This is located at a convenient place but a bit away from beach, may be a kilometre.
Neat and clean, has ample parking space, a small tea/coffee stall at entry, a small but maintained swimming pool, dining hall and others which are necessary for a hotel. Also has a conference hall which was locked but can be let out, if booked for business purposes, as per staff's communication.
The 2k (non AC) tariffed rooms (2nd floor), which we stayed in, are good, with real triple bed in all rooms. So no problem for 3 adults sleeping. Other furnitures and electrical gadgets are adequate per room. It was said that AC tarif for same room is 2.5K. Some more rooms, costlier, are also available which we didn't experience.
A small lift, erected later perhaps, but well positioned, is also available, so no issues for older persons.
Staffs are courteous cooperative and well behaved.
The menu items are ok and prepared only on order. So be prepared for a. Waiting time after ordering. Better not to give orders for any exotic menu item and stick to normal rice, dal, veg / nonveg curries etc. Items cost moderate. Taste is good and items are more or less freshly cooked.
Negatives include a slight crunch in open space. Wifi is very very poor with no signal in any of the rooms we stayed in 2nd floor. A bit far from beach, walkable but better to take Toto with Rs. 10/ — per head one way.
Overall recommended for stay at Bakkhali.

The pool is great but pool timing is odd. You should allow swimming pool in the morning too. Rooms are fine but restaurant food taste can be improved.

Rooms are good and clean also washrooms are clean. Our service person was so good and well behaved. Food from their in house restaurant is very delicious.
