This hotel is a very old and popular one among the famous group of Bhima founded way back in 1960’s. This three-storey two-star hotel with thirty- five rooms is centrally located on Tirupati-Renigunta Road opposite Reliance mart. It is nearly 2.5 kms from Tirupati railway station. The famous Govindaraja Swamy temple is 2kms and Padmavati Ammavari temple is 4kms. from this hotel. Many famous restaurants like Multi-cuisine Minerva coffee shop, Hotel Blue Box and Hotel Manasa are quite nearby. This hotel has an in-house restaurant serving vegetarian delicacies. This hotel has free parking, rental car service’ lift facility and free-wifi facility. There are two types of rooms: A.C. Deluxe and Standard room. The check-in and check-out timings are 12.00 p.m. and 11.00 a.m. The standard bedroom has 120 sq.ft bedroom with a queen-sized bed, two chairs, a table, ward robe, electric kettle and toiletry items. Though the rooms look a little old all facilities are available at affordable prices. I booked this hotel directly with a request for early-check-in. The hotel authorities agreed on the condition that I should vacate within 24 hours. Especially in pilgrimage towns like Tirupati many trains arrive early and so permission for early check-in with 24 hours duration for check-out is very convenient for pilgrims. Other hotels should also provide this facility to pilgrims. Free bottled water, soap, towels and spare bed sheet was provided. Complimentary breakfast facility is there. The hotel gives prompt response and room service is good. When the A.C. and T.V. were set right soon after I asked the receptionist for help. There is a need for improvement in cleanliness and providing a better appearance outlook. The corridors and the reception room may be decorated with paintings and art works to highlight the importance this town which has many beautiful places and temples around. Pamphlets giving more information about this town will help pilgrims in planning their schedule. As we had to catch an early morning train, we asked the receptionist to arrange for transport. The receptionist gave a wake- up call and arranged a vehicle to take us to the railway station. This hotel is a budget hotel quite suitable for pilgrims as it is centrally located with all facilities.
