The shocking accusations of a doctor against a 5 -star hotel in Pune have caused outrage and have led to a debate about a poor service in luxury hotels in India. The doctor said he found a comb used in his room, which he described as “unpleasant and antihigienic.”
He also condemned the behavior of the general manager when he raised hygiene concerns, claiming that he was rude, derogatory and condescending.
The doctor also said that his room changed without warning when he was recorded at the hotel. Narrating the incident in X, the Ayurvédico doctor wrote: “It was recorded in Hyatt Pune, just to find that my room changed without any previous intimation. Without explanation, without apologies, without courtesy. Only a silent change. But I settled.”

He added that after visiting the hotel spa, he returned to his room and opened a sealed comb pack, just to discover that he seemed used. Surprised, she questioned, “Recycled hotel services?
Calling it “unpleasant and antihigienic,” criticized the hotel service, declaring: “If they are reusing combs, what else are they reusing?
The situation intensified when the doctor approached the general manager of the hotel, Sandesh Parab, on the subject. Instead of addressing her concerns, she said she became “hostile and rude.”
“When I told him not to behave that way and I mentioned that social networks can make or break reputations these days, he shouted me and said: ‘Do what you want, I will see what I need to do!’ I asked him for his permission to take his photo to highlight the problem, and he became unpleasant, “he added.
“A 5 -star hotel with zero hygiene standards, recycled comforts and a general manager who intimidates customers? Unacceptable!” The doctor concluded by raising a question to the shelter: “Is this its hospitality standard?”
The publication quickly caught attention on social networks, with others sharing similar experiences with the chain of luxury hotels. An individual commented: “I was there last month, and just when I registered, another couple opened the door and entered the room! They had not yet left, and they assigned the same room!”

Another shared: “I faced a similar problem once. Since then, I always pick up the dressing articles, including the route bag.
I faced a similar problem once and since then I had the habit collecting the dressing articles, including the laundry bag, so that nothing can be recycled, because most of these things are not desired, I have them in a little garbage along the way.
But I don’t let those articles be reused
