"I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Nirvana Grand, Gaya. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and truly lives up to its name. The rooms are spacious, clean, and very comfortable with all modern amenities.
The staff was extremely polite, cheerful, and always ready to help, which made the experience even better. The restaurant served delicious food and the overall service was quick and professional.
The highlight for me was the calm ambiance, away from the hustle of the city, yet well connected to the main areas. The pool, garden, and event spaces add to the charm, making it not just a stay but an experience.
I would highly recommend Nirvana Grand for anyone visiting Gaya or Bodhgaya – whether for pilgrimage, leisure, or events. A perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and serenity."
