MPT Payal, Khajuraho

Our first visit to Khajuraho and stay at MPT Payal Hotel was superb. Never realised that Govt hotels could be so customer friendly, courteous, clean and hospitable. Our big thanks to Amrita, Asif and Shivam & entire staff. Very satisfying stay...

location excellent. Room is not upto the mark. Bathroom is not good. Giser is not working at the time of fast day stay.

MPT Payal is spacious and boasts of well laid-out lawns, an elegant foyer, a kids' play area and a spotless swimming pool. The staff are welcoming, prompt. and helpful in catering to any requests and in arranging for local transport. Food was decent and restuarant staff were considerate about our dietary requests as well. We even saw them arrange a birthday cake for another party of guests. It was all very friendly, warm, amd welcoming. Almost, a home away from home feeling. It was a pleasure to walk around the premises absorbing the laid back feel of the place and rather nice to see a little library of books tucked away in one corner of the recption area too. The rooms were clean and well furnished too and the bathrooms were also big and well maintained. There was also a spotted puppy who came wagging up to join us on our stroll around the grounds.

I had booked 2 rooms in this MPT property for 2 days in the peak Christmas holiday week on Dec 2024. Booking was hassle free in MPT website and I was charged Rs 17800 for 4 adults plus 1 kid with breakfast. Pros 1. Location is certainly an advantage. Less than a km away from Western Group of temples and Matangeshwar temple, we could walk down easily. Just next to this is a tribal museum and eateries like Raj Cafe are also in walkable distance. 2. The property is well laid with large campus and welcome area, spacious lobby, nice and big restaurant area, a well maintained swimming pool and single storey residential block. 3. Helpful and active MPT manager who oversaw operations in reception and restaurant. On my checkout day, prime minister had come to Khajuraho and he guided me to exit Khajuraho early and the route to take to avoid travel restrictions and increased security checking. 4. Rooms were nicely done with clean washroom and linens. Cons 1. The setup of a barrack style accommodation may seem a little archaic if you are a city person used to modern hotels.

A very premier property of MPT and the location of PAYAL KHAJURAHO is very strategic as the " WESTERN TEMPLES" are very close & so is the venue of SOUND & LIGHT. The entire Hotel is very spacious with a big garden at the entrance and the Lobby is really big , very well maintained and looks of the lobby are really decent. The staff at Reception - Amrita,Shivam & Asif - were very cooperative and were willing to give any information to the guests wrt places of interest in KHAJURAHO ,taxi rates,Train connectivity etc. The staff at the Restaurant esp Sh Jagdish , were very efficient and always served the food with a smile. The Safai Karamcharis were constantly on the job and never gave a reason to complain about neatness and cleanliness. The beautiful Rangoli made by Amrita on the Makar Sankranti day ( 14.01.2025) will be remembered forever. Had a great time at MPT PAYAL HOTEL, KHAJURAHO and would definitely visit this place,once again,with family Sincere regards, ( NEERAJ RANA) DGM, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, Sec 62, Noida
