Hotel Shiva International: a live hotel website that takes direct bookings.

Hotel Shiva International is a real hotel in Bikramganj, Bihar — at Shiva Complex, Ara Road, Tenduni Chowk. Its website shows rooms and honest prices up front, puts the hotel’s Google rating where guests can see it, and sends the booking enquiry straight to the hotel on WhatsApp. This page walks through what the site was built to solve, what it contains, and what a hotel gets from the same structure.

Hotel Shiva International — rooms, direct prices and a WhatsApp booking bar on the live site.

The problem

Rooms sold only through travel apps — at app prices.

Before the website, the hotel’s rooms were sold only through travel apps. A guest who found the hotel still had to finish the booking on someone else’s platform — and the hotel paid commission on every room that came through it.

The fix is not a prettier brochure. It is a direct channel: a website where a guest can see the rooms, compare honest prices, check the hotel’s real Google rating, and send a complete booking enquiry to the hotel itself — without an account, a phone call, or a detour through an OTA.

That is what this site does. Everything on it is the hotel’s own information: its rooms, its prices, its rating, its phone number, its address. Nothing here is a mock result or a borrowed review.

What the website contains

Built as a booking channel, not a brochure.

Rooms & honest prices

Four room types with direct prices shown up front: Deluxe Room ₹1,499, Executive Room ₹1,899, Family Room ₹2,499 and The Shiva Suite ₹2,999 per night — with occupancy, bed type and amenities for each.

Direct vs OTA, side by side

The site shows the same Deluxe Room on the travel apps next to the direct price, so the saving is visible: Goibibo ₹1,629 and MakeMyTrip ₹1,748 against ₹1,499 direct — ₹130–₹249 saved on one night alone.

WhatsApp booking enquiry

A booking form captures name, dates, room type and guests, then opens WhatsApp with the details ready to send to the hotel. The hotel confirms on chat; nothing is stored on the website.

Trust where guests look

The hotel’s Google rating — 4.6 from 19 guest reviews — is shown on the site itself, next to the address, check-in times (11 AM in, 10 AM out) and the front-desk phone number.

Amenities & dining

AC rooms, free Wi-Fi, in-house dining, a 24×7 front desk, on-site parking, power backup and daily housekeeping — the practical details a guest checks before booking.

Fast on a phone

Readable type, tap-friendly buttons and compressed images, built to work on an inexpensive phone and a weak connection — the way most of the hotel’s guests actually browse.

The numbers on the page

One room. Three prices. One saving.

Prices as shown on the live hotel website. App prices are the ones listed there for this hotel; they change, so the site shows what the hotel lists at the time — not a guaranteed saving.

Deluxe Room — 1 nightPriceWhat the guest gets
This website (direct)₹1,499Booked with the hotel; the enquiry reaches the front desk on WhatsApp.
Goibibo₹1,629Same room, booked through the app — ₹130 more for the night.
MakeMyTrip₹1,748Same room, booked through the app — ₹249 more for the night.

Room prices are the hotel’s own direct rates, shown on its live website. No booking totals or revenue figures are published here — those belong to the hotel, and this page claims none.

What this proves

The structure works. Your content replaces the demo.

A hotel website does not need a booking engine on day one to be useful. It needs the guest to finish the next step: see the room, trust the price, reach a human. Shiva’s site does that with four room pages, one honest price table, a visible rating and a WhatsApp enquiry that carries the details.

For another hotel, the same structure takes that hotel’s rooms, prices, photos, policies and brand — the layout and the booking flow stay, the content becomes theirs.

What will yours cost?

Most hotel websites I build sit in the ₹15,000–₹50,000 range depending on scope. The detailed guide explains what moves a project within that range — without pretending there is one fixed price for every property.

Questions

Hotel Shiva case study — questions.

Is this a real hotel website?

Yes. Hotel Shiva International is a real hotel in Bikramganj, Bihar, and the website is live — open it from the button at the top of this page and click through the rooms, prices and booking enquiry yourself.

Can my hotel get the same structure?

Yes. The layout, room pages, price table and WhatsApp enquiry flow are reused; your rooms, prices, photos, policies and brand replace the Shiva content. See the hotel websites service page for what a project includes.

Does a direct website replace the OTAs?

No — and it should not try to. OTAs introduce new guests; the website gives repeat guests, referrals and people who already found the hotel’s name a cheaper place to book. The practical goal is balance, not replacement.
