Fabhotel V Grand

For the price, other hotels offer much more usable facilities, so this felt like poor value. The toilet flush didn’t work because there was no flush button at all. The room looked nice at first, but there were no insect screens on the windows, and mosquitoes and other bugs kept getting in and disturbing the stay.

I’ve stayed here several times when visiting Vijayawada for work and personal reasons. The rooms are good, and rates are Rs.1200-1500 for Non-Ac and Ac rooms. Most things have been satisfactory, but on my last visit room no.309 smelled of cigarettes and alcohol.

Getting to the railway station was easy, and there are shops and restaurants nearby. The hotel also had a peaceful feel, and I slept well. My room was clean, roomy, and maintained well, with the basic amenities. The bathroom looked modern, the water supply was good, and Wi-Fi stayed reliable and fast enough for work and video calls. Housekeeping was quick, and the staff were polite and helpful, so check-in and checkout went smoothly. The blankets could have been cleaner, though they were usable. It’s a budget place, but the service felt better than expected. One thing to know: asking at the desk doesn’t usually get you a discount, guests are expected to pay the published rates. I’d recommend it for a comfortable, affordable stay, and I’d come back.

The sofa and curtain in my room were really dirty, and there wasn’t a hanger. It’s close to the railway station. I paid Rs. 1200 /- for a NON AC Single. I stayed during the day for work, and for bachelors it’s OK overall.
