I had a comfortable stay at this hotel. The rooms were old and had rusty appliances, but the staff was pleasant. The location was a big plus, with convenient access to city attractions. However, the food was not good and seemed expensive for the value.

The room I stayed in had two single beds put together, which made it quite comfortable. However, the appliances seemed dated.

The hotel has a prime location near the bus stand and half a kilometer to the railway station, making it ideal for visiting Tirumala and getting around easily. The rooms, although a little old and in need of refurbishing, offer a glimpse of ancient charm, though I did not get the exact room I had expected. The service, especially from the reception and restaurant staff, was exceptional, showing great courtesy and attentiveness. The dining experience, with a variety of salads and a wide range of menu options, was a highlight. While the property appears somewhat run-down under the Fortune banner, it still serves as a convenient base for exploring the area.

The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms, but the odour of cigarette smoke and mustiness can be off-putting at times. The service is efficient and polite, although some areas could be improved. The location is convenient and bustling, ideal for those near Telugu area. Dining is good overall, though there are some issues with the food quality. The facilities are well-maintained and provide a satisfactory experience.

The hotel is conveniently located near the Bus stand and half a kilometer to the railway station, making it very convenient for travelers in the Telugu area. The rooms, although better than another property, faced a noisy railway crossing and had strong odors in addition to dust. The service was helpful and considerate of requests such as late check-out. The dining experience offered a pretty decent buffet spread with many varieties. The location is a big plus due to its proximity to important in-and-around places and the Telugu circulating paper. However, there were challenges with the regulator for temperature control.

The hotel has a great location, perfect for exploring the town, but the rooms have damp patches on the walls, a strange smell, and are not very clean. The service was lacking, with staff more interested in tips and commissions. The dining was good but expensive compared to the taste. On the bright side, the location is ideal for sightseeing, and the hotel offers a delay for checkout.
