Review of Hotel Shabari – Room 502
Staying at Hotel Shabari was one of the most distressing experiences I’ve had as a single business traveler. The ordeal began right at check-in, with an unreasonably long wait at the reception. Multiple customers, including myself, were left waiting for hours before being attended to. To make matters worse, I was handed keys meant for another customer, showcasing the hotel’s lack of basic organization.
The room itself was far from habitable. There was no water provided, and despite repeated attempts to contact housekeeping, no one answered. I had to personally walk to the reception to request a bottle of water. The lack of hot water was yet another inconvenience, and to my horror, the room was crawling with cockroaches—completely unhygienic and unacceptable.
However, the most terrifying part of my stay occurred post-midnight when a staff member unlocked my door using a master key and entered the room without knocking. He left abruptly, but the damage was done—I was utterly shaken. The reception later claimed it was a mistake due to an incorrect room allocation, but such negligence is inexcusable, especially for a single female traveler.
To add to the chaos, there was no duty manager available to address these issues. The complete lack of accountability and security makes this hotel unsafe for anyone, especially women traveling alone. This experience was not just disappointing but deeply agonizing. I strongly advise others to avoid Hotel Shabari for their own safety and peace of mind.
