Lucknow, August 7

Hotel Mayur, room 35If you're not on a strict budget, read no more. If you are on a budget and are arriving late/departing early from the train station, this will do. But only for 1 night. The mattress was stained (noticed this as we asked for the sheets to be changed), walls were peeling and there were strange holes in the wall through to a ventilation duct. The whole room smelt vaguely of piss, while the hotel stair landings doubled as a rubbish dump, hosting such various items as old mattresses, beer bottles and broken furniture. Management were reasonably helpful and offer a 24 hour checkout. Our room had satellite TV though, a welcome addition after weeks of Indian only fare. We watched an old episode of Seinfeld at 1 in the morning. It was great.
Bathroom: Private (apart from the hole in the wall)
View: Street
