    Positives are - charges on hourly basis 56 rs. Per hour.I had breakfast buffet here that was very tasty. Negatives are- not clean, only one bathroom is here to bath in ladies washroom. That is very small area too. Overall Not so good experience.

    visited 1st time with irctc sbi card, in comparison to NDLS lounge, all facilities below, but staff behaviour was excellent, some services pointing out, these are. 1. 2 hours sofa seating. 2. 1 tea/coffee. 3. unlimited lunch ( except gulab jamun, limited to 3). 4. clean washroom. 5. fully air conditioned. rest all items are chargeable. they charged me 15rs. for water bottle, and 20rs. for small coke bottle (i thought it should be complimentary but not.) you can visit also if u have not valid credit card for railway lounge with extra charges as 60 rs per hour and all items will be chargeable.

    The washrooms and Toilets are very much crowded and feels like a Local Lounge not a Executive one. The food is not at all tasty, just the only benefit of this lounge is that you get the time to get fresh and ready. ACs are not working properly .

    The lounge facility and the serving staff is good but the kitchen staff delays every order. The prices are reasonable. Washrooms are scarce but clean. Recliners are also available here.

  • 5/5 Tejas J. 1 year ago on Google β€’ 130 reviews
    If you need to wait at railway station for few hours, this could be one of the place that you can select.They charge β‚Ή56/hr meaning that you are likely to have surrounded by good middle class and educated people. This AC waiting room/lounge is having good sofa cum chair for sitting and decent toilets/bathroom to get fresh-up. Moreover they also have recliner chair room for which charges are β‚Ή112/hr. They also have restaurant wherein you can order your desired food. In morning hours they have breakfast combo of β‚Ή156 in which you will get pauha, upma, idli, puri bhaji and tea/coffee. Personally I found this place convenient as there was peace, good air conditioning and good people with manners and etiquette which you will not find in standard waiting room/ac waiting room.

    A premium place to relax. Though this is not as comfortable as an Airport Lounge however being a Railway lounge this is good. It is often crowded and seats are hard to find during peak hours. There is no buffet meal however a fixed lunch and dinner thalis are offered.

    Apart from stinking bathroom, stale food and unhygienic environment you also get a lot of mismanagement. The guy on booking desk at 7 am 31st Dec 22 did not allow us to actual lounge area which is named relaxing zone where you can lie down a bit after paying another 112 an hour, saying that it was full while he booked it to people who did not even have lounge booking and were looking for alternatives and like waiting room and nearby hotels. So you see even IRCTC is working like railways now you rub my back I rub yours at a certain under the table.

    Pathetic and hopeless place managed by arrogant and illiterate staff. The sitting area is dirty, the paint is coming out from walls, washroom is as pathetic as a roadside toilet. Thank god they prepare good food and thats only positive thing. Irctc should stop earning money from this pathetic place and should kick off the mannerless staff.

  • 3/5 Amol D. 10 months ago on Google β€’ 151 reviews
    Visited on 12/06/2023 60Rs per hour per person. Free for some credit card users. But for those who pay 60 Rs it’s not worth.. They pay 60Rs just to sit n relax in an air conditioning room on sofa. Toilets are not that greatly cleaned at the level. Limited seats,so it gets full sometimes as the weather in Ahmedabad is hot amd humid

    This is what IRCTC is good for .... Service . Present rates : Rs.56 per hour which includes normal amenities (No complimentary tea/coffee) . Awesome food and really great service . Ac works well and staff is supportive. Really worth the pay .. Rating it 10/10

    ⚠️ IRCTC Executive Lounge - A Disappointing Experience My recent visit to the IRCTC Executive Lounge left much to be desired, marred by a series of concerning issues that need urgent attention. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Unpleasant Staff Behavior: The staff exhibited a lack of cordiality, with an attitude that was far from welcoming. This aspect of the service significantly detracted from the overall experience. πŸ₯‚ Unclean Glasses: Hygiene standards fell short, particularly concerning the cleanliness of the glassware. It was disheartening to find glasses that did not meet basic hygiene expectations. 🏚️ Subpar Infrastructure and Maintenance: The lounge's infrastructure was disappointing, reflecting poor maintenance standards. The sitting area was dirty, with paint peeling off the walls, creating an atmosphere that was far from conducive to a comfortable experience. 🚽 Unpleasant Washroom Conditions: The washroom facilities were deplorable, reminiscent of a roadside toilet. This critical aspect of the lounge's amenities needs urgent attention to ensure a basic level of cleanliness and hygiene. 🍽️ Saving Grace - Good Food: Amidst the multitude of disappointments, the one saving grace was the quality of the food. The culinary offerings stood out as a positive aspect, providing a silver lining to an otherwise dismal experience. 🚫 Call for Improvement: It is disheartening to witness such a stark contrast between the positive and negative aspects of the IRCTC Executive Lounge. Urgent measures are required to address the infrastructure, staff behavior, and hygiene standards to bring this facility up to par with the expectations of travelers. πŸ” Recommendation to IRCTC: It is strongly recommended that IRCTC takes immediate corrective actions. This includes not only addressing the physical infrastructure but also implementing staff training programs to ensure a welcoming and customer-centric environment. The reputation of the lounge is at stake, and swift measures are imperative to regain customer trust. πŸ“£ In Summary: The IRCTC Executive Lounge, in its current state, falls far below acceptable standards. A comprehensive overhaul is required to transform this space into a traveler-friendly haven. #IRCTCExecutiveLounge #CustomerExperience #ServiceStandards πŸ›‹οΈπŸ½οΈπŸ‘Ž

  • 5/5 mansi g. 5 months ago on Google β€’ 84 reviews
    Overall good, you can have peaceful ambiance here if less traffic than, They charged me around 120 for 1 hour sitting. I haven't tried food here but it seems good.

  • 1/5 Kartiki T. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 22 reviews New
    Highly disappointed by the attitude shown by one of the staff of the executive lounge which we regularly visit. This time I wanted to use the washroom on urgent basis as I was pregnant, but the person denied and indirectly told me to go out pr pay 120rs for 1 hour. A person should have basic morals, civics sense and should understand a women's situation.

  • 4/5 Ragav S. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 21 reviews New
    Lounge has comfy seats where you can spend time in air conditioned space in comfort. The lounge charges 120 rupees per hour and Rupay platinum debit cards didn't work for free lounge access and hence had to pay. The staff could be friendly and polite instead of being a bit rude.

  • 1/5 Abhisek S. 8 months ago on Google
    Misbehaving staff !! Disturbing and waking up in the middle of the night, don’t know how to behave with customers. If you’re coming solo it’s fine but don’t consider coming here with family . No AC in the reclining area . One guy came in the middle of the night and was asking for the bill as if we were staying here without paying money . The staff needs to be much more professional. Shameless !!

  • 1/5 Abhishek D. 6 months ago on Google
    They will keep you waited for many hours.. saying it's full when you come with a free lounge access through loyalty cards.. and a very unprofessional staff. They are not fit for this. If you want to know anything, they won't explain you properly. The bathrooms were not at all clean. The air conditioning doesn't work properly makes so much noise as it's a so called lounge it should be quite but quite opposite to that. This isn't an executive lounge. It should be called a 1 star restaurant. Had such a worst experience.

    Staff behaviour is rude, other than that food is fair quality, tea coffee are good , worth the money and visit I would say, charges are decent

  • 4/5 Nikhil R. 5 months ago on Google β€’ 8 reviews
    The place is decent . The sitting area is spacious but not up to mark considering the sofa cleanliness and wall fittings. The food was 6.5/10 . Overall good area to wait for some time. The washroom was clean and ambiance was good.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ This is one of the very few affordable, yet amazing places to eat for all the non-veg lovers in Ahmedabad. There's a wide variety of tandoori items (It's an Arabic restaurant!) The food was delicious, even though it was cheap. The ambience is not that great, but okay. Service was satisfactory.
