At Varam Residency, Srikakulam












                                                                             Room with twin beds



Classic Room


                                                             Banquet hall


 
This hotel is located on Palakonda Road near the bus stand. As it is on the main road all places are accessible such as shopping area and tourist places. Srikakulam is a small town with many shops and many hospitals. I saw many clinics, medical shops and dental hospitals on the side of the main road. This hotel has nearly forty rooms spread over four floors. The rooms are small with simple necessities. Though the hotel is a three-star hotel, only soap is given free, with towels and bed room coverings. The bath rooms are also not so well maintained. The T.V. has very few channels. The staff are quite courteous and helpful. When I have trouble with land phone they offered another room as an alternative, but I did not shift since I spent only one day there.

 The free breakfast is very good and tasty. They also give a newspaper and room service is also very prompt. This hotel has facilities like free cellar car parking, laundry and dry cleaning service, restaurant, free wifi , lift and concierge. It would be better if the bath rooms are well-maintained and accessories like dental kit and bottled water are supplied. As the climate is very hot, the hotel authorities should provide bed sheets along with blankets as some may feel discomfortable with thick blankets in the hot weather. Many pilgrimage centers like Arasavalli (4kms), Sri Kurmam(15kms) and Sri Mukha Lingeswara temple (50 kms) are nearby. The check-in and check-our timings are from 12.00 noon to 12.oo noon. The hotel rates are also quite affordable. This budget hotel is a suitable place for tourists as it is very close to bus stand and other tourist places.
