Daman the beautiful city and an awesome place to visit. It was my 1st ever trip to this amazing place and we decided to book the most premium properties here landing up at Cidade De Daman!
We had a 2 days stay here with the best room of the hotel booked in and being assured of amazing quality and services.
To my surprise...starting with Vallet..if you plan to visit Daman on Saturday and specially to Cidade-de-Daman, do not expect hospitality..they may even deny to carry your luggage to your room from the car.
The reception desk is filled with good happy faces, but I wished it was all same throughout.
The room was promised with awesome view but we landed up seeing only the stinking bamboos of the restaurant roof and dirty under construction site. No scope of sitting with open windows as the stink and mosquitoes would otherwise make ur stay more unpleasant.
The basic utilities in the room being coffee maker, tea coffee sugar sachets, soap in bathroom, towels, glass for water, water bottle were MISSING...And to top it up..we had to fight to get things in place..
While going out we planned to keep our precious things in Locker..but the awesome thing we found when we returned to the room to find locker door open..and we were shocked..
Called the reception and was informed that the locker battery was dead and it was required to be changed..thankfully nothing was stolen!
The swimming pool water is green, stinking and dirty..didnt ever see such dirty swimming pool in my entire life...if you are expecting anything from the pool helper, do not do that! Towel is something you might never get or may have to wait for about an hour for that.
Most boring DJ on Saturday Night if you ever want to experience, this is the hotel to visit!
Now last but not the least..the breakfast...
Stuffed paratha with no stuffing but a cold and the hotel staff would not hesitate to deny for fresh cooked paratha, stating, this is buffet, its meant to be like this only..do not expect personalized service.
The dosa guy is good at his work until you make some specific request and he says..this is how its made, so plz keep your request to yourself.
And dare to ask for cold coffee...they would pit coffee powder in cold milk with sugar and serve to you..and plz remember its chargeable Rs. 120/- ..with the beauty that you wont be able to drink it!
Wifi shows a speed test of 80mbps..however, actual use doesnt prove this. The wifi wont support any usage.
Only good thing about this place is Good interiors!
Thats a short summary of Cidade De Daman...where we decided to check out in 1 day instead of a 2 days stay and move to another hotel.
