Friendly and helpful staff, looks to be a very earthquake resistant building.  Indian food in restaurant was very good for dinner (went twice).  The pizza kiosk/stall on the property was also good.

There doesn’t seem to be much to choose from hotel/wise in Bhuj.  Room wasn’t particularly clean (don’t look in the corners).  The deluxe room is so small that one side of the bed is up against the wall, the breakfast was limited.  In the evenings the internet was very poor.   If you are staying here you probably have a car and it is a good location for getting out of Bhuj but I don’t think there is much of interest within walking distance.  Note some of the  rooms are interior ones ( no windows) and I think it would be worth trying to book directly rather than thru hotels.com or other website.

Good enough for a short stay

Excellent place to stay especially when travelling with Family. The staff was very polite, supportive & also provided tips on places to see around in Bhuj City. The Cafe at the Lawn is an excellent place for food with almost all options, so there is no need to find other places in the city (if you are new to the city). Rooms are very spacious & a good hygiene level / cleanliness is maintained in the room. 

Bhuj- Mangalam Trip

We visited this hotel in Nov. 2018. We wanted booking for three days but got room only for one day as hotel was alredy booked . Room was good but best thing is food. Food was very good. We tried different Gujrati items and still I remember Kadhi with mild banana flavour. It was best Kadhi I ever had. Service in restaurant was very good 👍. 

Good food.

Location is good. The front desk staff was very customer friendly. The lobby is having decent waiting arrangements. The rooms were serviced on both days. The bathroom was clean . The AC in room was not cooling but the maintenance staff fixed it quickly.

Nice hotel to stay in Bhuj for couple of days. Room was maintained properly and was clean. Value for money.

Stayed here for first time. Amazing experience. Cost is affordable with good service. Room spacious with good anemities. Staff is excellent.  I loved this hotel a lot with its simplicity and rich experience. They gave me early check-in thanks to them.  Will keep coming to Mangalum in future. Recommend all

Simply superb stay

The room a/c's remote wasn't responding and on calling upon the house keeping, we were told that when you feel cold just switch the a/c off. Upon me demanding to change the remote, it was. The soap dispenser in the bathroom wasn't functioning correct so i called for the house keeping and was told that it will be done in 5 mins. We waited for 1 and half hr and then continued with our tour. Even when we were back at night, this wasn't corrected.
The cups and glasses in the room not changed/washed even once for 3 days. 
The restaurant Saffron, the tables weren't even wiped for a single time in our 3 days stay. Food was almost evertime without salt. Same taste for all veggies. There were cockroaches roming around on the breakfast buffet table. Ridiculous experience!
Rental car experience: we rented a duster car from the hotel for our tour to narayan sarovar,  lakhpat, mata no madh, dholavira,  etc. for the next 2 days. We fix up the price for lakhpat. While fixing the price for dholavira, I suggested that we take the route via khawda which will be 125 x 2 ie 250 kms return journey. But the driver told us that route is not good and added 250 x 2 ie 500 kms for return journey to dholavira via Rapar. We had to agree. 
The 1st day to lakhpat etc went well. On our return, the driver started telling us that there is nothing to see in dholavira (for a world unesco site this is the most bizarre thing to hear from locals). But we insisted on going. He said ok and asked us to be ready at 8:30 am as the journey would be long.
Next day we were ready at 8:30am and waited for the driver till 10am. I checked with the reception and they told me that he has gone for airport duty. The driver wasn't even  picking up my phone till 10am. At 10 am he picked up my call to tell me that he is sick and will not be able to come. Completely ridiculous, that the reception was also not informing us about this despite them knowing. 
They, then told us that they will send someone else. Some other driver came in with the Duster. I was angered but I didn't want to loose out on site seeing so continued. I told this driver that we take the khawda route, but he said that it will be your risk if something happens to their car. So we told them to take the longer rapar route. After driving little further, he started telling us that we should take the khawda route now. 
At this I had to put my foot down and insisted on the agreed rapar route. This new driver kept stopping and talking over the phone (despite the fact that we were late due to him and the site has a closing time) and was completely rash in his driving, jumping over speed breakers at a speed of 100kmph. We told him a couple of time to be careful since we had a senior lady travelling but to no heed. We had to hurry with our site seeing due to all this. He even made us miss out on many tourist spots and wanted us to skip chipper point as well just because he wanted to get back to bhuj. However, I Said I won't. If this wasn't over yet, now he insisted that we take the khawda route to bhuj (the same route which I had insisted on taking at the time of fixing the price and they had denied). Finally he fought and brought us back from the khawda route without a/c from a mud road again driving in a senseless manner.
I paid them the agreed price though but I now put up my point at the always arguing reception. There was this one person (hindi speaking) who started banging registers on the reception desk and yelling while talking to 2 lady traveller's. It's quite shameful on the part of the management of this hotel for such behaviours. We just cleared our dues and concluded our stay there. 
Not at all an experience that I would ever like to remember!!


Horrible experience 

This is a longish review based on my experience at Hotel Mangalam of my 3 nights stay at the hotel from Dec 22 to 25th 2021.  On the onset let me emphasize that it’s a 3 star hotel and should be reviewed as that, not to be compared with 5 star hotels.  I was sceptical reading some of the negative reviews before I booked.  But we have had a good experience from day one even before we reached the hotel. We checked out different hotels on different websites. I zeroed in on this one because it seemed to be well located, and had parking space for your car and based on a review which said they have sleeping facility for your drivers. Since we had hired a taxi with us from Ahmedabad for the 4 days it was useful. 

The hotel:- We had called the hotel before booking with some queries. They attended to our queries very nicely and gave us a good rate too so we booked with them directly with a 50% advance. The staff at the reception always helped us with all other general information about Bhuj whenever we called. Even while at the hotel the staff at the reception desk was always friendly, courteous, helpful and cooperative. It’s centrally located in a decent area of Bhuj.  All popular tourist sites are pretty closeby. 

Room:-  Our room for 2 guests was pretty large and neat and clean for a 3 star. No complaints whatsoever. Bathroom was also very clean and mercifully I had hot water whenever I opened the tap. I had read negative reviews about this and was very worried. But we got piping hot water every night for a bath after we came back from our touring around the town.  The blankets, bedsheets, towels, etc were all neat and clean.  

Food:- We had a room and breakfast plan. We could have breakfast only on one day (which was very good) as we had to leave early in the morning before breakfast started. But the kitchen staff was very sweet and prepared sandwiches for us to take and eat on the go. We had planned to go out and explore different places during our stay but because we used to come back tired every evening we chose to eat at the in-house vegetarian restaurant “Saffron” every single night. A very good decision. It’s a very good restaurant and whatever food we ate was excellent. Portion sizes were also good. The staff was superb and looked after us very well every day and pampered us. Would like to mention specially a young lady Ms. Manika Burman. She would attend to our table everyday and also take care of our small needs. One day I had a bad throat so Manika offered to get me hot water to drink. She not only just got a glass of hot water, she got a small flask with it and kept refilling my glass whenever it got over without my even noticing it. Its little things this, when staff takes care of you, that makes your stay memorable.  I wish this young lady well and pray she does well wherever she goes. Don’t remember everyones names but all the restaurant staff was very very helpful and welcoming and attentive. A young boy Mukesh Tiwari also helped us with food service.  The restaurant basically serves a north Indian menu but they served us idli, wadas and dosas one evening from their franchise restaurant ‘Sankalp Express’ next door. And chaats, sandwiches etc too. It was all very good quality food every single meal. Enough options and total value for money. 

Overall a good experience and I think I will definitely go back to Mangalam every time I am in Bhuj and recommend to my friends.

Neat and clean, great staff and food too. and value for money

Very very bad condition of rooms,very very limited buffet breakfast..worst experience in MMT... don't ever try MMT.. hotel rooms are very very small..even the beds are smaller.. leaking taps, broken windows..

Worst experience

The hotel is located close to city center and local attractions. We had nice experience from reception staff to  housekeeping staff and  to restaurant staff. The room allotted to us after giving us option to choose, was  very neat and clean. We had MA plan. The best part was very tasty  food with  excellent service from each staff. They also serve some complimentary items, which is a pleasant surprise. They also allowed us little late checkout. Overall a very pleasing experience. Highly recommended.

Happy Experience

Had some issue with the room but it was very efficiently handled by the reception desk. 
Restaurant is one of the best in Bhuj. Another restaurant serves tasty South Indian dish and mumbai snacks. Kutch is famous for Dhabeli.. The best famous dhabali is stall is near the entrance of the hotel. 
Rooms are good and specious but i think that because the Occupancy was 100% had some issues on day one but it was efficiently handled and I was compensated too... That is the reason I gave 3 star other wise it was 4.5 star.
