Royal Orchid Central, Vadodara

First stayed at this hotel back in 2012. Was a brand new hotel then. Everything from rooms to the food was exceptional. The staff was polite and responsive too. Well, a few years passed and I never visited Vadodara. However, due to business needs, I had to visit the city again. I remembered my previous stay which was really good and booked the hotel again. So how was it after 6 years? Very well maintained!!! Service at the restaurant was excellent - the staff is extremely well-trained. Other hotel staff was very responsive and polite too. I visited the hotel in March 2018 and then stayed once again in April 2018. Both times I was given a different room (both were club rooms booked with a major meal and breakfast inclusive package). Very clean rooms, bathrooms well maintained, 24 hrs supply of hot water, a good mini bar, Biotique range of toiletries. The hotel did not have any foul smells either. Very clean beds and linen. Dinner and breakfast buffet were really good. Did not use the gym but saw it and was really good. The restaurant manager is very good in servicing the guests and has a well-trained team. Parking area is limited but the hotel manages it well. I would surely recommend this hotel and keep coming back again whenever I need to stay in Vadodara - this was my 3rd stay at the hotel in 4 months.

Room was small but clean. Noise from some party/event was very high and your. That too into the night. Would not recommend, if you are a light sleeper like me. Food was ok.

we stayedfor a marriage function and enjoyed our stay

Excellent experiance

While my stay overall was pretty good, the hotel feels closer to being a 3 star property than a 4 star. The bed and bed linen were both very comfortable. Food in the restaurant also pretty decent though since this is gujurat be prepared for the general sweet slant to most things. The staff are quite helpful like most places in gujurat and hotels is very good value for the price. Areas for improvement for it to earn the 4th star: Put enough hangers in every room. We only had one and had to ask for more. There was then something not quite right about the ventilation system as smell of cigarette smoke seemed to be wafting into the room from some of the smoking rooms. Something to check if you are overly sensitive to smell of smoke. Toiletries were not replenished though if you use your own like many people not a biggie. Restaurant chairs not a practical design. And finally all their functions rooms are on a mezzanine floor. If you happen to be staying there on a night someone is having a loud music party, you will be impacted by both sound and vibrations from the bass woofers!

Nice and comfortable.
