Ananda Inn Hotel — Hotel in Andhra Pradesh

I stopped at this place with my in-laws. There was a language barrier for me (I don’t speak Telugu), so I’m not sure what happened. I can’t handle Andhra spice, so my brother in law repeatedly communicated that to the server. The server got upset at one point and stormed off, dropping something/knocking stuff over in the process.||I don’t know what happened after that. The food and silverware was deliberately slammed down onto the table, as though the servers were having a temper tantrum at us. The servers attitudes were negative, and they vanished. I don’t know if it was my presence that offended them (I am foreign and look different). It happens.|| I have found that Indian restaurant service is superior to American because of the excess of attentive staff. This was not the case here. ||At the end of the meal (not the beginning), the servers talked (plotted) amongst themselves in the corner (by the kitchen door), then came and demanded cash payment claiming their card machines were broken. Everyone (even a foreigner like me) knows the ATM machines are empty for miles. They had seen our cash (which was brought for a hospital visit). ||The general behavior of the staff here was juvenile and unacceptable. The food all tastes like ghee (and who knows what else they put in there). I figured that flavor was a result of the ‘non spicy’ request, but my husband (who is from Andhra) said his ‘normal’ food wasn’t up to par either. I only gave thus place any rank because of the AC, and the fact that it looked a bit more well-kept than other places I’ve been to. There is better food and service available...

It is an old hotel and badly needs renovation.Starting from the lift you will have fearful experience.Rooms are small for double sharing.I stayed in 6th floor and has only 5rooms in all on this floor.You have one eatery in 2and.floor by name ADURS. It sufficient parking space for cars and 2 wheelers.They kept the notice that hotel is under renovation but I could not find any activity of renovation of the hotel.It is in a busy road Juvvalapalem road and maneuvering is some what difficult.As a whole the town itself is very congested with uncontrollable and narrow roads and lanes.2 wheeler traffic is very rash and they zigzag between vehicles making 4 wheel driving difficult. You will find traffic police in only strategic junctions. Another important point for you to note is IT IS A COSTLY TOWN compared to other towns in Andhra Pradesh.If you are visiting the place you should come with a heavy purse.It is a noted place for aqua culture.But still the prices of prawns is out of reach of normal man.Even otherwise come and visit...

I booked the room for a week as I was in the area for some work. I have never stayed in a worse hotel than this. The rooms were not cleaned when I came and they refused to change the sheets after my first night here. There was no light functioning in the bathroom and when I asked them to replace it they said bulbs were not available. The service is painfully slow and hygiene is terrible. I had to call house keeping and instruct them on how to sweep and swab the room. I checked out and went to Falcons Nest which is a hotel nearby on day 3. Complimentary breakfast is given but they start preparing it only after 9. It took them 30 min to bring me a cup of coffee. I honestly do not recommend this...
