Hotel Kosala Vijayawada

the room is spacious, location is excellent. hot water, air conditioning, wifi, any kind of service if required they provide. housekeeping not so good, the elevators are visibly unclean. there is no landline which I found odd. overall they can improve the cleanliness and this will be a very good hotel.

I have been to this Hotel and stayed for 3D/2N between November 1st and 3rd, 2022 along with my wife.
I made an advance reservation for the room and in fact arrived quite earlier than i informed on 1st Nov (around 3 PM), but still the check-in was very smooth and the room was ready within no time.
Same day we had a very blissful Darshan of Amma Varu at Kanaka Durgamma Temple atop the hill.
I asked front desk people for a taxi car for my next day's visit to Mopidevi Subramanya Temple and i was instantly provided with contact details of their trusted travel and tour operator M/s MK Tours and Travels owned by one Mr Murali, who is very polite and gentle to talk to. I had a good and memorable experience on that front too.
The staff at Hotel Kosala were all young and receptive and they will make every attempt to meet your requirements. As such everything is in order and things move in routine.
There is a good restaurant at ground floor with buffet break fast arrangement with a wide variety of dishes and lunch and dinner . Break fast was complimentary.
Those who get up early and seek morning tea/coffee are disappointed as kitchen opens after 7 AM or so ! This i hope the management will look into (..... no morning tea up to 7 or so ! )
Car parking could be an issue, as the street is busy with other commercial establishments and so much of vehicular movements.
The property is in central location of Vijayawada and very close to Bus Station, Railway Station, Krishna River, Prakasham Barrage, Kanaka Durgamma Temple and other main attractions of the city. Mangalagiri Town is on the other side of the River.
Overall, its a conveniently located property with nice staff and almost all amenities required.
I propose to check-in to this property whenever i visit Vijayawada in future.
My best wishes to the Management and Staff of this Hotel.

This hotel is located in the heart of Vijayawada commercial zone/district. However, it lacks the basic needs of a family traveler. Poorly maintained property, no parking, poor food, zero ventilation bring down the overall experience of a traveler. Could be ideal if the visit is to freshen-up and checkout without overnight stay.

First of all I would rate the hotel and experience minus zero
4th we did check in hopes of staying at 3star hotel in vijayawada but the experience was cut off as there was no room available
Do not have habit of pre registration of arrival and checking of arrivals for the day
Mr.Sandeep gave us a room which was terrible termite infestation no dressing mirror no bathroom lock
Worst and worst linen on the bed was stained we kept ourselves quiet as kid was tired with journey we just tried to get through the night but terrible was yet to be heard some one shouting at corridoor drunk our sleep was lost at 2am.
The next day we were prepared ourselves to visit vijayawada temple before leaving hotel informed reception to have room shifted as we were unhappy with the room given and they gave a twin room requested for king-size bed denied as it is not our package as we requested clearly on yatra.com we want king bed
This room was better but dusty
linen is like horrible stains were through out we had put on our bed sheets our own to sleep on
Ac was working but no display of temperature
No remote back covers
No room cleaning
Corridors back areas had used crockery and soiled food stinking
Bathtowels were grey but it was supposed to be white
I suspect it's been washed at some dhobi ghat not in professional laundry
No menu card
Overall as a hotel there is no procedure and protocol
No Reg card and no bill for staying as we booked online
No sanitizing
Facilities at the hotel were not explained if we use or do not use how would you then upsell your product
No warmth at the hotel
Some images near lift so divine even that was also kept dirty
Hotel management students girls at reception absolutely no warmth and No Public relations
Sandeep is day in and out saw him sleeping at the lobby sofas almost everyday morning
Lobby sofas were filthy
We did not use anything at the hotel as nothing was explained to us
Sad to say it's not a star hotel it's a lodge
Online rates were extremely high this is the feedback from professional hotelier
We stayed in 209 and 210
Checked out early morning 7th
Please do not offer 209 for any guest its just not worth it is OOO out of order room
