What guests think

At Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach, guests frequently praise the beachfront setting and ocean views, while reviews also point to inconsistent cleanliness and maintenance, with some areas and rooms needing attention that can reduce comfort and perceived value for the price.

Rooms get mixed feedback: standout sea views and reliable Wi-Fi contrast with dated furnishings, small or uncomfortable beds, noise at night, and occasional broken or nonworking features. Service is often warm and helpful, but several guests report slow or rude check-in, uneven follow-up on issues, and unexpected charges. A practical choice if scenery matters more than seamless upkeep.

On the first day, there was a dead fish swimming with me in the pool. No staff is around the pool to notice the dead fish and it took them time to react to mark the pool closed for maintenance. The handicap/ family toilet health faucet was cut and broken. I took my son and was unable to clean him. I then took him to the make toilet and the flush knob was broken. This was fixed temporarily by the cleaner and the next day i found it broken again. The in room dining were just not ready to serve my water in glass bottles as were available in the dining area. Took me a lot of arguments to get it done. The front desk have complementary golf at the EastPoint golf club. It took them 12 hours and repeated reminders to give me a letter to take with me to the golf club, which i was told was completely free. OH NO!!! It is not free and they dont know of any agreement. Upon calling the front desk they now tell me only Entry is free, WHILE THERE IS NO ENTRY FEE. The managers are just clueless. its a worst place to stay... though the building and view is good, the staff are clueless. There is no shower facility near the swimming pool... they have to walk on floor (slipping and falling health risk) to a rest room which was stinking the first day... then walk back on the wet floor. I have given them feedback to place a mat and hope they'll act on it before disaster srtikes someone.

Excellent hotel well located near the metro. No bar but the country club minutes walk away is good. Pool with 4 sun beds is a nice option.

Wellness, ha, zum Lachen, das Bad und die Toiletten am Pool sind in einem desaströsen Zustand und gleichen einer Abstellkammer. Es gibt kein Duschgel, man fragt sich wieviel Keime es wohl im Pool-Wasser gibt. Eine von zwei Duschkabinen besitzt keine Tür mehr. Leider spürt man auch eine allgemeine Anspannung beim Personal, was für ein sehr unterkühltes Arbeitsklima spricht. Meine Fotos sind unzulässig oder überschreiten die Datengröße. Sprechen sie mich darauf an wenn sie die sehen wollen.

Disappointing Stay – Not Worth the Price I stayed here during a weekday visit and was quite underwhelmed. The hotel clearly shows its age—everything from the furniture to the overall ambience feels outdated. While the staff was friendly and helpful, that’s about the only positive I can highlight. The beds were small and not very comfortable, and the bathroom was in poor condition with visible stains and a generally rundown feel. For the price they’re charging—which is at a five-star level—you’d expect much more in terms of comfort and quality. Honestly, it felt more like a 2.5-star experience. Wouldn’t recommend unless they renovate and reprice accordingly.

I was extremely disappointed with the cleanliness and of the room. I found that room was not cleaned before checkin and found multiple stain marks Kn floor shoes prints also found trash under bed. The checkin was terrible, hotel staff has no information and very less trained to handle customer requirements.

Honestly, it’s not the best. Definitely not worth 13k per night. The room’s condition was extremely modest. Reminded me one of those hopin-hop out commercial hotels. The bathroom is all stains and cracks on the walls etc. The bathroom curtain didn’t work and the switch was broken. The staff guy himself struggled to operate it. But the service is really good. A couple of them didn’t know the etiquette but they didn’t seem disrespectful. It’s just that they weren’t trained well.…otherwise very good. Food is FABULOUS. Whoever managing the kitchen, deserves a raise. Overall, it’s ok but unlikely to spend 13k per night for those rooms. Rather come by for lunch/breakfast.

There was thumping noise in the room till midnight on all 3 nights I stayed here. The hotel staff first said it’s from the banquet hall, then they changed their stance and said it’s from a INOX theatre right behind the hotel. It was apparent they cannot do anything about it. So if you want to have a quite room and wish to sleep before the INOX has had its run till midnight, look for some place else. If putting up with a rumbling sound reverberating through the building is something that you like, this place has plenty of it.

Novotel Vizag is a great modern hotel. Rooms were clean and staff was fantastic. Special. Shout out to the front desk manager who was very accommodating to all our needs. Even though a very busy hotel, when staff remembers your name, you always feel special. Second shout out to the dining room manager who had an amazing and contagious smile at all times. Ask her to tell you about her hometown Darjaleen, famous for its tea and she beams with pride. Will definetly stay again.

The check in process was so terrible. Initially one gentlemen by name Adbul or Ahamed was there. After spending few minutes he said some one will takecare and left that place and moved to next counter. Then one Mr Lokesh came and he took nearly 10 minutes to give the room key. I asked him is there any issue in the booking and he said no. I told him that i am a silver member of Accor ALL and hardly any response from him. I stayed there only for couple of hours as i check in the Morning and then checked out. May be a proper training to them would help.

I had a very disappointing experience during my recent stay at Novotel. I booked for just one night and was surprised to be charged an additional amount for what they labeled as “goodwill” items — specifically, 2 beers and a Toblerone chocolate. Not only was this unnecessary, but the charges were excessively high. In my experience, most 3-star hotels offer small tokens of goodwill, such as complimentary snacks, water bottles, or even chocolates, without any additional charges. Even at 5-star properties like The Park, Hilton, and other international chains, I have never been billed for such basic gestures. Instead, those hotels focus on creating a positive guest experience by making customers feel valued. This practice at Novotel felt awkward, misleading, and unprofessional. A goodwill item should never come with a hidden price tag, especially in a reputed hotel. Unfortunately, this left a very negative impression of the brand, and I would caution other travelers to be aware of such hidden charges. Hotels should understand that true goodwill comes from hospitality, not from inflating the bill. Sadly, this stay at Novotel failed to meet even basic expectations.
