Horrible I last night had a very disappointing experience at Hotel Raj in Vijayawada, and I feel compelled to share my thoughts to help other travelers make an informed decision.
From the moment I checked in, it was clear that the hotel had not been maintained or renovated in a very long time. The rooms looked incredibly outdated, with peeling paint, worn-out furniture, and a generally shabby appearance that gave off an unwelcoming vibe. It was quite disheartening to walk into a room that felt more like a neglected guesthouse than a hotel.
While the air conditioning was the only saving grace—it worked efficiently and kept the room cool in the hot weather—everything else was well below par. The condition of the bathroom was truly appalling. The taps were either leaking or rusted, the fixtures were broken or loose, and overall hygiene standards seemed questionable. It was frankly uncomfortable and unhygienic to use the bathroom facilities.
Basic amenities that one would expect from any decent hotel were missing or dysfunctional. There was no hot water at times, and the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. It was clear that very little effort is being made to maintain the rooms or offer a satisfactory guest experience.
In summary, my stay at Hotel Raj was far from pleasant. If you’re looking for a comfortable and well-kept place to stay in Vijayawada, I would strongly recommend exploring other options. Unless the management takes serious steps to renovate the rooms and improve cleanliness and bathroom conditions, I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone.
