8 Hotels in India That Are, Well…Decent. Really.

1. The Green Hotel in Mcleod Ganj
Tibetans rule. So do attached restaurants with cheap wireless internet and good food.

2. The Orchard Cottage in Manali
Excellent family, beautiful location, unbelievably clean and nice rooms.

3. Sankatha Hotel in Varanasi
Clean rooms, hot water, good location, great price.

4. The hotel ACROSS from Major’s Den in Pahar Ganj
(yeah yeah, we’ll get you the name eventually when we go back!)
Nice rooms, sweet price, nice staff, attached internet facility.

5. Sunset Bar and Rest in Anjuna
Clean rooms, great price, good restaurant, unbeatable beautiful beach location.

6. Hotel Harasar Haveli in Bikaner
Clean, inexpensive, and awesome

7. Hotel Plaza in Jalgaon
Maybe the nicest hotel and nicest owner in India. Ask him for the good thali place.

8. India Guest House in Mumbai
It’s like sleeping in a tall cubicle but the shared bathrooms are beautiful and clean!

No:
Major’s Den in Pahar Ganj, Delhi
Really, Lonely Planet? With the hotel of Awesome right across the street? Just no.

5 Things in India that Make Us Frown

1. Squat toilets
Epic fail, squat toilet inventor. Epic fail.

2. Non-boneless chicken
I mean, ok I don’t need boneless chicken. But this is chickenless Bone curry! Bleck!

3. Trash. Everywhere.
There are a bajillion unemployed people here. Surely we can organize an organized waste disposal system?

4. Sacred cows eating…plastic
This does not count as an organized waste disposal system. Try again.

5. Scams
No, my hotel is not full and did not burn down, there is not a coup, I do not need to go to the “N” block to book a train ticket, and no, staying on a houseboat in Kashmir is NOT way better than seeing the Taj Mahal!

 

India!
