This was my second choice as my first choice (the Hotel Ramkrishna) was strangely full even though Allahabad isn't a big tourist destination. This hotel was fine. The guy on reception showed me a room that was just behind reception where I instantly said no before he opened the door for fear of the hectic goings-on of the reception area. He then took me through to the back where rooms opened out on a small courtyard. He opened the door on one where a guy was watching TV and who jumped up as we entered. I looked at the manager with a questionable look of "what's going on here?" and he said that he was just a hotel worker who then switched off the TV and walked out. The room was very tidy and clean with clean towels and sheets, a doublebed, bedside table, table, 2 chairs, small TV, A/C, ceiling fan, mirror, phone. The bathroom had a 24hr hotwater geyser tank. They served a small breakfast menu between 7-11.30am. There's a very good posh restaurant called the New Jade within the grounds. Good choice and quiet as it was set off the main road. My room cost Rs500.
