Prakash Inn Shower Pressure?

Question

So I stayed at the Prakash Inn last week, the water pressure in the shower was... underwhelming, to say the least. It was like trying to wash my hair with a leaky faucet. Seriously, I spent longer trying to get clean than I did actually sleeping. The rest of the place was fine, decent location, friendly staff. But that shower... man. Anyone else experienced this? Maybe it's just my room? I'm thinking of going back next month, but if the shower situation is the same, I'll need to find a new place. The whole trip should of been amazing, but it left me feeling... less than refreshed.

I've heard this complaint from a few people who've stayed there. The issue is mostly on the upper floors where the water has to fight gravity more. If you're set on going back, ask for room 107 or 108 on the ground floor near the back, the pressure is noticeably better there because it's closer to the main tank. Otherwise, check out Hotel Grace on the next block, it's about the same price but the bathrooms were redone last year and the showers actually work.

The shower issue at Prakash Inn is unfortunately a known thing, I've had friends complain about the same. If you're heading back, try booking a room on the south side of the building, those rooms get the afternoon sun and the pipes warm up a bit, which helps the flow. Otherwise, you could try Hotel Samrat on Lamington Road, it's a 10 minute walk from Prakash Inn and the water pressure there is solid, plus they have a pretty good rooftop cafe.

yeah that's pretty standard for prakash inn tbh. the building's old plumbing just can't handle the pressure from the municipal line. if u go back ask for a room on the 2nd floor facing the back alley, those have smaller tanks that build up a bit more force. or just switch to hotel orange down the street on s.v. road, similar price but the showers are actually decent

I think it really depends on the specific room you get. My cousin stayed there a couple months back and said his shower on the third floor was fine, but another friend on the fifth floor had the same weak trickle you're describing. Might just be worth calling the front desk directly and asking for a lower floor room before you book again.

Honestly, I think it's hit or miss depending on which floor you end up on. I stayed in a room on the top floor last year and barely got a trickle, but my friend who was on the first floor said hers was fine. Might be worth calling ahead and specifically asking for a room on the lower level if you're set on going back.
