hotel is very near to bhopal stn if u will take exit from back side. autowala's will charge u around Rs. 15-25 but if u pick up the auto from main entrance then they will charge u around Rs. 40-50.

hotel is almost good location and service is also good specially staff's nature are well mannered.

pleasant n good place for family, friends, solo n couples.

rooms are small in size specially bed but neat n clean.

i experienced one bad thing which was, i had been charged for breakfast still breakfast was included on my room tariff. when I asked about that then they said, Sir your check in time was morning 7 o'clock i.e. u hav charged Rs 150+tax per person if ur check in time was at night thn u won't be charge for breakfast.

so I recommended those travellers, before booking u may clear about breakfast timing and when inclusion of breakfast applied with check in time? otherwise its better to have breakfast from Restaurent Manohar which is near to hotel with variety of veg meals n breakfast in good price tag.

Arriving in a new big city is always a pain! We choose Sonali hotel because of its location and its reasonable size. We were pleasantly surprised with the excellent quality of service and efficiency offered. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. From laundry to room service and billing, we had only good experiences. Rooms are not too big, but clean and comfortable. Same for the bathrooms. All together a good deal with no bad surprise!

We needed to spend two nights in Bhopal on our way from Sanchi to Indore so we chose this hotel because of it's proximity to the railway station and to the incredible bazaar which is one of the largest in India. It is a budget hotel catering to Indian and foreign tourists. Very clean and efficiently operated. Food is brought to the dining room from outside and is incredible. One of the best meals we had during our month in India. Dum aloo Bhojpuri outstanding. An easy walk to the vegetable market and the bazaar. The room was comfortable with a small balcony looking down on the street. Located one block from Hamidia Road so relatively quiet. The main floor filled with incense at night which might bother some travelers.

I had travelled to Bhopal with Spouse and a small baby. The stay in Hotel Sonali was pleasant. The hotel staff was friendly and warm. Especially, Mr Prashant who helped me a lot while booking the return tickets from Bhopal. I would definetely recommend this hotel to anybody visiting Bhopal.

However, Bhopal in general (and apart from the Hotel and staff) was a thorough disappointment. People in the city were rude, ill mannered and not at all friendly. My overall impression about the city was that it is dirty and ill maintained except for a few locations in the New Bhopal area. Hats off to the Madhya Pradesh goverment for marketing a product so well without developing any incentives such as cleanliness in city, roads, public toilets etc. Overall i would say that there was NOTHING incredible about the "Heart of Incredible India"
