Indore's Hidden Gem: Collection O Jineshwari Hotel Review (You Won't Believe This!)
Indore's Hidden Gem: Collection O Jineshwari Hotel Review (You Won't Believe This!) - Prepare to Be Surprised!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! Because I'm about to drop some truth bombs about Collection O Jineshwari Hotel in Indore. Forget everything you think you know about budget-friendly hotels. This place…well, it's a rollercoaster. And honestly? I'm still processing it.
Accessibility: (Yes, Actually. And No. Confusing!)
Look, right off the bat, I gotta say, accessibility is a bit of a mixed bag, and that's something you should know before you go. The website claims "facilities for disabled guests." Fine. The elevator is a godsend, though! (Especially after a long day of navigating Indore's crazy traffic.) However, I didn’t personally experience the hotel’s ability to accommodate someone very differently abled, so I can’t really vouch for it.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - A Culinary Adventure (Mostly Good!)
Okay, let's talk food. Because, let's be real, that's a HUGE part of any hotel experience.
Restaurants & Bars: They've got a few options. There's a main restaurant with Asian cuisine sprinkled in there. I enjoyed the breakfast spread, a buffet with a decent Asian breakfast. The international cuisine and a vegetarian restaurant added some much-needed variety. They have a bar too - I was tempted, but honestly, I was knackered most days!
Breakfast Bliss (and Sometimes, "Meh"): The breakfast [buffet] was generally good. The coffee/tea in the restaurant was decent enough for a caffeine fix to get going for the day. They have a lovely western breakfast too. However, there were some days where things were a little…understaffed. A good tip is to grab your coffee ASAP, because sometimes you can wait a bit.
Room Service Raves (and a Few Grumbles): The room service [24-hour] is a lifesaver. I ordered a salad in the restaurant for a late-night snack. It's convenient, but don't expect Michelin-star quality. It's good for satisfying a craving—nothing more and nothing less.
Poolside Ambitions: The poolside bar? Teasingly present and underutilized, it seems.
Cleanliness and Safety - Seriously Impressive!
Here's where Jineshwari shines like a freshly polished brass door knocker. They take cleanliness seriously. Like, REALLY seriously. In these post-COVID times, that's HUGE.
- The Sanitization Squad: I was constantly seeing staff doing their thing which included Daily disinfection in common areas, Professional-grade sanitizing services, and Rooms sanitized between stays. You'll find hand sanitizers everywhere.
- Safety First: They offer Anti-viral cleaning products, Staff trained in safety protocol, plus Cashless payment service, which made things a breeze.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax - A Mixed Bag, But Plenty to Enjoy!
- Spa Days (Almost!): The spa/sauna and steamroom are there…which made me very happy! The spa is on the smaller side, but it’s a nice option. Some massage therapy would do you the world of good after a long journey!
- Fitness Fanatics, Unite!: There is a fitness center and gym/fitness - I didn't use it, but I peeked, and it seemed well-equipped.
- Cooling Off: The swimming pool [outdoor] is a highlight. The pool with a view is a nice touch.
- More Relaxation…Sort of: There are no body scrub or body wrap, so you will have to skip these.
Services and Conveniences - They've Thought of Almost Everything!
- Helpful Heroes: The concierge and doorman are super friendly and helpful.
- Tech Savvy: There's Internet access in the rooms. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! That's a blessing, seriously. They also provide Wi-Fi in public areas. I did not use the internet [LAN], nor the internet services.
- Getting Things Done (or At Least Trying): The business facilities are there (there's Xerox/fax in the business center), but I didn't use them much.
- Odds and Ends: They have a convenience store, which is handy for snacks and essentials. They have a laundry service and dry cleaning too.
For the Kids - Okay, This Is Where It Gets Interesting…
- Family Friendly!: The hotel claims to be family-friendly. They have some kids facilities and a babysitting service. I did not experience the kids facilities, so I can’t really vouch for them.
Getting Around - Easy Peasy (Mostly)
- Airport Run: Airport transfer is available.
- Parking Perks: Car park [free of charge], car park [on-site], and valet parking. Score!
- Taxis Galore: You can easily get a taxi service.
Available in All Rooms - The Essentials (and Then Some!)
Alright, the rooms themselves. They're… well, they're clean. And that, my friends, is a HUGE win!
- The Staples: Air conditioning, comfy bed, a desk (perfect for working or, you know, just writing reviews!), a refrigerator.
- Tech Time: There's internet access – wireless in the room.
- Bathroom Breakdown: The private bathroom was clean with a separate shower and bathtub, so that’s a win.
Now For The Real Deal: The Good, The Bad, and The Questionable
I'm going to be honest, I had some expectations going in. And Jineshwari…well, it challenged them.
The Vibe: This place feels like a comfortable, slightly quirky, family-run hotel that's trying REALLY hard. And you know what? I admire that. The staff, in particular, are absolutely lovely. They were genuinely eager to help.
The "Hidden Gem" Factor: The name of the hotel is apt: it’s genuinely a bit of an undiscovered treasure. For the price point, the value is insane. You get more than you pay for.
The Imperfections: Nothing is perfect, right? One morning, the hot water was a little…tepid. And the soundproofing isn't top-of-the-line. You will hear your neighbors.
Quirky Observations: The décor. Let's just say it's…eclectic. I found a few decorative items that made me smile.
My Verdict: Would I Return? Absolutely.
Listen, Collection O Jineshwari won't win any awards for luxury. But it will win you over with its cleanliness, its friendly staff, and its fantastic value. It’s a perfect spot for solo travelers, couples, and families on a budget.
Here's the deal: it's not flawless, but that's kind of its charm. It's real. It's comfortable. It's Indore's hidden gem, and you REALLY won't believe how good it is until you try it.

Collection O Jineshwari Hotel, Indore: A Messy, Honest, and Probably Incomplete Itinerary
Alright, so here's the deal. I'm at Collection O Jineshwari in Indore. Supposedly a hotel. Let's see how this plays out, shall we? This is going to be less "detailed travel plan" and more "emotional rollercoaster sprinkled with bad decisions and questionable chai." Buckle up.
Day -1 (Pre-Trip Anxiety, a Classic):
- 6:00 AM: Woke up in a cold sweat. Did I pack my toothbrush? My passport? Did I even remember to book the damn hotel? (Spoiler alert: I did. I think.)
- 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM: Panicked packing. Realized my suitcase is basically a black hole of old t-shirts and forgotten dreams. Ended up throwing everything in, hoping for the best. Prayed to the Travel Gods for no lost luggage.
- 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Pre-flight procrastination. Surfed the internet. Read about Indore. Suddenly, I’m terrified of spice levels. Am I gonna die? Will my stomach survive?
- 8:00 PM: Airport. The usual chaos. Realized I forgot to charge my phone. Facepalm.
Day 0 (Arrival, Mild Confusion, and the Quest for Chai):
- 10:00 AM: Arrived at Devi Ahilyabai Holkar International Airport, Indore. Smog a bit thick but mostly alright. The airport itself is…well, it's an airport. The "Welcome to Indore!" banner seemed genuinely thrilled to have me. Maybe I should be too.
- 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Taxi to the hotel. Driver was a chatty dude, regaling me with stories about cricket and the glories of local food. He spoke a million miles an hour, and I understood, like, 30% of it. But hey, smiles for miles!
- 12:00 PM: Checked in. Collection O Jineshwari Hotel. Receptionist, bless her soul, spoke some English. The room? Cleanish. Smells faintly of… cleaning product. Not bad, exactly. But also not "freshly-baked-cookies-and-roses" clean. More like “someone-tried-really-hard-to-clean-it” clean.
- 12:30 PM: Ordered chai. Needed it. The driver's tales had me buzzing, and I needed a moment to just… be. Chai arrived. Ahhhhh. Bliss. Slightly sweet, slightly spicy, and wholly, wonderfully, necessary. My stomach breathed a tentative sigh of relief.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Settled in. Unpacked (some of it). Wasted way too much time on the internet, researching restaurant options, and wondering if I should have brought more socks. The existential dread that hits when you're unpacking in a new place is real, people.
- 3:00 PM: Started to explore the area. I walked around but got a bit lost but found myself in a crowded market that I was too afraid to enter alone. Watched the daily life of the city from a distance.
- 5:00 PM: Back to the hotel. Exhausted. Nap time!
- 7:00 PM: Wake up with a jolt. I slept for like, 2 hours. That's not enough. Gotta find dinner.
- 7:30 PM: After a quick shower and a brush of the teeth, I went to the restaurant. Chicken Tikka Masala and a very nice local bread. The waiter was so nice, he even tried to teach me some Hindi. I botched it all.
- 9:00 PM: Back in the room. Bedtime! Maybe. Probably going to stare at the ceiling for an hour replaying every embarrassing moment of my life.
Day 1 (The Street Food Gamble, and the Triumph of the Small Things):
- 8:00 AM: Woke up. The sun peeking through the curtains. Feeling… optimistic? Or maybe just caffeinated. Time for the included breakfast. Wish me luck.
- 8:30 AM: Breakfast at the hotel. Decent. Some questionable looking "juice" and some crispy parathas. And… a little bit of that existential dread returning.
- 9:30 AM: Decided to be brave. Went out to explore!
- 10:30 AM: The street food. THE STREET FOOD. Okay, so this is where things get interesting. Indore is famed for its street food, and it's a glorious, chaotic, delicious free-for-all. I started with * the "Garbhadass"!* My mouth is still tingling from the spice, and I'm pretty sure I ate at least three different things without knowing what they were. But it was wonderful. The pure, unadulterated JOY on the faces of the people eating alongside me was infectious. I may or may not have forgotten my diet plan.
- 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Exploring more. Went to the Rajwada Palace. Pretty impressive, even if the crowds were a bit much. Got some stunning photos. Found a charming alleyway that smelled of incense and something vaguely floral. Made me feel like I'd stumbled into another world.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Back at the hotel. Rest and a nap. Today was draining, but I loved it.
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Deciding on afternoon activities.
- 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM: The small things: bought a small hand-painted bowl from a street vendor. The vendor was so kind, she told me the meaning of the design on the bowl. It turned out to be a blessing for safe travel. It cost me next to nothing, but it was a moment of genuine connection with someone whose life is so different from mine. That, more than the palace or the food, is what I'll remember.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner outside. More street food! This time, I feel like a local. Getting more used to the spice levels.
Day 2 (Things I'd Rather Forget, and a Fleeting Sense of Belonging):
- 9:00 AM: Slept in a little bit. Breakfast again. Still slightly apprehensive about the juice.
- 10:00 AM: Thought about visiting a historical site, but the heat was already kicking in, and I couldn't be bothered. My brain decided to take a vacation of its own.
- 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Watched Netflix and binged random shows in the hotel room. My usual escape mechanism when the world gets too… well, the world.
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch at a restaurant nearby. Decent, forgettable. I spent the time wondering what the people around me were doing.
- 2:00 PM: Went to a park to sit down and people-watch to get inspiration for writing.
- 6:00 PM: Back in the room, still feeling blah. Ordered room service.
- 7:00 PM: The food arrived. It was… not good. Let that be a lesson, folks: don't trust the hotel's room service.
- 8:00 PM: Now I'm watching TV. I'm feeling a little bad. The air is thick. My skin is itching. I need a change of scene. The small hand-painted bowl on my desk is making me feel a little better. It reminds me of the good things to come.
Day 3 (Departure & Reflections):
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast, juice avoidance technique in full swing.
- 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Checked out. The hotel was…fine. Nothing to write home about, other than the lack of power outlets.
- 11:00 AM: The ride to the airport. The driver was a different guy, and the conversation was about cricket.
- 12:00 PM: Airport. Waiting. Reflecting. The city was, in the end, a bit overwhelming. The food was an adventure. The kindness of strangers was a beautiful thing. And I learned that I can survive a questionable glass of juice.
- 12:30 PM: Flight. I am leaving this place.
Looking Back:
Okay, so this wasn't the most glamorous trip. There were moments of pure joy, moments of quiet introspection, and moments where I just wanted to hide in my room and watch Netflix. But it was real. And that, I think, is what matters. Indore, you were a challenge, a delight, and a mystery. Perhaps one day I'll be back… and perhaps I'll be able to eat the street food without needing a week to recover. Until next time.
