Last month , I was in Kolhapur for a day with family on way to Goa. We decided to stay for a night at Hotel Rayson.
Location - Its located centrally very near to Market place. Coming from pune by road , you have to take right to enter kolhapur city. After that around 5 kms , you will find Hotel raysons on right side of road.
Check in - I booked a room over phone in advance and got mail confirmation about the booking. So check in was smooth.
Room - We booked a std AC room. Tariff - 2000 + Taxes. Room was ok with TV, Splilt AC and other basic amenities.
Restaurant - Hotel has AC restaurant and one garden restaurant as well. Food we found to be very expensive and very ordinary in test. Its better to have food just adjacent hotel pearl instead where rates are similar but food quality is much better.
They do have a Baskin Robbins counter in hotel & same is available on room service menu as well.
Near by places to visit - One can visit famous mahalakshmi temple. Around 20 mins drive by auto. It is advisable to take auto as car parking is not there at temple.
Overall it was ok to stay for a day there but at that price one can get better options !
