I visited Tirupati recently on April 06, 2024. I wanted a room which is affordable for a person or two and at the same time, value for money.
I booked Shikhara Stay around two month's in advance to get some discount. The snaps while that time on one of the travel was very clean, polished and was looking very promising so I booked my stay for one week's time.
However, I was totally disappointed. The hotel didn't even do anything unless you ask at-least three to four times. Toiletries -such as Bath soap or towels are essential part of hotel stay was not provided at first attempt, and need to follow-up two or three times. The room was cleaned only once alternate day, don't know the reason why? Lastly, the staff behaviour was not normal and bit rude and they are eager to seek every opportunity to grab some extra money(in form of tip) every room service request they provide - be it providing water bottles (money given to pay from outside) or toiletries (money not given – but they still expects …) or any other service such as getting food from outside.
