  • 4/5 vidhyadhar n. 2 years ago on Google
    While me and my family were initially skeptical to spend a holiday in the small town of Vijayawada, it turned out to be one of the best city getaways. Also did not know that Vijayawada had so much to offer historically and mythological too. Trust the hotel needs to have the posters across the walks and corridors. Our early check in was honored and the Gateway suite brought smiles to the entire family. My son was always kept happy getting his favourite strawberry milkshake at breakfast and in the room at times. We got complimentary local snacks and delicacies in the room on all days. The Andhra meal that we had on the 3 lunches we had was just awesome. The quality, taste and quantity was 4 stars.

    We visited their restaurant for buffet. The spread was decent but can be better. Staff were polite. Recommended.

  • 4/5 srinivas c s. 4 months ago on Google β€’ 20 reviews
    Though the hotel is located in strategic location, access to the restaurant was not an easy task. w.r.t. the food served at buffet lunch, the less asked is better. The spread was not much. Furthermore, it was not an easy task to separate non-veg items from veg items. There could be a better way to separate them. At the time of payment, my card was swiped for rs 2600/-, for a bill of rs.2594/-. I don't know what was the problem in swiping the exact amount, as no money was to be returned physically.

    Rooms are good. Service is good. But do not expect much. It is more like nice hotel to stay. Nothing to do at hotel. Except swimming pool which was good. Food taste was good but it was not hot. Staff is friendly.

  • 5/5 Sampath K. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing experience. Front desk staff is very patient and always helpful. Rooms are decent and service is good. Hotel has dine-in room and restaurant facility. Even the chef and restaurant folks are super cool and even came in between and asking if everything is good and need anything else. We have opted for buffet breakfast and it was superb and we didn't tried rameshwaram idly and chef walk in and suggested us to try Rameshwaram idly and bought it and it's very soft and really nice.. Overall hotel, food , stay, pool everything is amazing.

    Amazing hospitality received from each and every individual at the property. Couldn't expect anything less from a Taj property. Perfect location to explore the city as and its close to a lot of shopping malls. Food at the hotel is very good and a wide variety of choices are available on the menu. Would definitely recommend it as a considerable option for leisure / vacation or business trips.

  • 4/5 Sam K. 1 year ago on Google
    The hotel is really nice, property is very good and present in good location with everything nearby for shopping etc... breakfast is so nice ... Live counter girl is very friendly where she referred new dishes to make a try with good food knowledge where I tried some items as suggested and they are really awesome in taste and pretty impressed ... must try rameshwaram idly... everything was good... just there is no coordination between service staff they always skips when we order something and they only have 2 people for service ... Other than that everything looks perfect...πŸ‘πŸ»

    Went to restaurant with family, ambience is just normal. Fish items taste is not upto the mark. Non veg varieties limited. Veg and traditional food is good. Suggest to provide healthy food options for diabetes too.

  • 2/5 Corporate S. 11 months ago on Google
    Don't be misled. I am sure this joint has nothing to do with the Taj group - looking at mediocre furnishings or the rooms either. ex. Shocking: Jammed washroom doors forcing midnight change of room, is only a tip of the Iceberg, or non availability of king size beds, measly buffets... But, people are cool & helpful or even charming.

    Very hospitable staff. About 40min from the airport. Rooms are good no closed cloth closets. Had a layover in Vijayawada, good for overnight stay. Food was beyond excellent.

    Great place to have meetings and conferences. First time visited this place for a conference. The conference hall was good and have enough resources for a great conference. Top of the hotel at 7th floor swimming pool is available and various other facilities are also available. The food was also good but little bit disappointed for the taste.

    Name now changed to vivanta. Great to stay and buffets are great here with a lot of varieties. So I recommend booking 2 complimentary meals. The in dining menu on the other hand has almost basic food items. I think they keep menu limited to encourage and try their buffets. I surely liked how it offers good discounts.

    I had been to Vivanta with my family for my kid's birthday and had a nice meal. First of all... Food is kids friendly and healthy, Thanks to the Chef and Vivanta team. French fries are awesome. Kids enjoyed the dinner. Special Thanks to Veerakumar Manda and Sanjib for the hospitality and surprise cake cutting for my kid. We enjoyed it along with my family. Terrace is scenematic. We enjoyed altogether. Happy to see healthy food hotels in vijayawada.

  • 3/5 Anand S. 1 year ago on Google
    Its a good hotel as per Location but trust me you will doubt if it's a part of Taj group. Menu is a disaster but service will compensate for that. No place to chill except rooftop pool. Good bar but they don't even know how to make whiskey sour. Location is amazing that's why 4 stars

  • 5/5 K Jaheer H. 1 year ago on Google
    The Vivanta Vijayawada MG Road is a luxury destination for global travellers in the capital of Andhra Pradesh. 108 contemporary rooms and suites welcome business and leisure guests to a lifestyle marked by world-class hospitality. Overlooking Krishna River and surrounding hills, the hotel sparkles like a jewel in the heart of one of South India’s most dynamic cities, close to its commercial and historic landmarks.....!!!!

  • 1/5 naren c. 6 months ago on Google
    Terrible experience with VIVANTA, AC was not at all working after complaining also no proper action taken. Washroom door not working, water leakage issue. Not at all happy with the facilities and services offered.

  • 5/5 Shailesh K. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience with all the staff of Vivanta Taj specially by Pritam, Sanjiv, Rajesh, Murthy, Sridhar, Shiva, Kalyani and each one of you. Excellent location and very tasty food. Thoroughly enjoyed stay with my family. Thank you Vivanta Team and keep it up!!

  • 5/5 Manik S. 11 months ago on Google
    This property is situated in the middle of the city and most busiest market in Vijayawada, near Benz circle. This is an old one in comparison to Novotel and Hyatt, but have maintained the quality of service which Taj offers. The room was big with ample space to move around and feel comfortable. It had all the basic amenities like iron & table, safe, kettle, etc. The couch in the room was very comfortable and so was working on the table. The breakfast buffet served in the all day dining restaurant Mynt had a large spread to choose from. The Ramassery idli stood out and is a must have, among other things one likes. I ordered for cold coffee after enjoying the buffet and it was made to perfection. A special call out to Front office manager Mr. Pritam Mondal, who offered to even allocate the room for some time, if I wanted to freshen up before the evening flight. Overall, a very nice experience and highly recommended. Happy staying!!!!

  • 5/5 Ayon M. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing experience with the staff specially by the on-duty manager. We even got pleasant surprises. Value for money and we got what is expected out of an IHCL hotel. Good location, property was not so great from ouside but was decent from inside. Room and service was outstanding.

  • 5/5 Rohini H. 9 months ago on Google
    Lovely hotel in the heart of the city. Coming from the US and this place was perfect for the family. Great views from the upper windows, breakfast is yummy, service is fantastic and the driver, Sunil, was a delight- he worked with us for 2 days. Everyone was super nice to my kids. And the reservation staff even helped us book trains from their office. Oh and the rooms and bathrooms were super clean and spotless.

    Appreciate Sanjib, Veer, Nirmal, Venki, Srinivas and the whole staff for making our stay memorable. It's an amazing place to stay and the hospitality from the staff makes it more pleasant. The food too was very good. Thank you Team Vivanta....

  • 3/5 KAPIL K. 1 year ago on Google
    Room is good but restaurant staff need to look at the service. During Buffet Dinner if the restaurant gets full then there is no proper service by the team. They need more skills or I should say more staff to manage the restaurant. Unhappy if I compare to other similar properties. Sharing my experience by sitting in the restaurant and waiting for the food to come which is missing in the spread

  • 1/5 HEMANT KUMAR S. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to the buffet dinner at this restaurant. The standard of food was below par. Complete waste of money. No great variety either in starters or desserts. Food was πŸ”₯ very spicy too. But staff are hospitable

  • 2/5 Sambi R. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried unlimited buffet and it's around 2400 per couple. But feel like meals not much worth. Taste is also not that much . It's average only. I like the green colour soup and staff also less members poor response.

  • 3/5 barhadath d. 1 year ago on Google
    The gym has a steam chamber despite informing in advance it was not ready. Nobody in health club. Call the duty manager no response. Later came to know duty manager comes at 9 am. But I thought a hotel of this stature should have one round the clockπŸ€”

  • 4/5 Arunava C. 1 year ago on Google
    Location is in the heart of the city. Hotel is good but expected a little more from Taj... Very clean and well maintained... Rooms are not huge but decent sized... Didn't get a 5 star feel to be honest. Amenities are available... Food was also good. It was value for money. Service and behaviour of the staff is absolutely fantastic. That definitely lived upto Taj's reputation. Parking is available. Valet as well.

    I chose Vivanta as my place of stay in December for a week , with my family. I must say the staff gave a very warm welcome to us and treated us with utmost priority. I must thank Rajesh, Kalyani, Rashmi, Ritu, Amit and Pritam for tailoring to our specific food requests, room services etc. I strongly recommend to choose this hotel. Special thanks to Pritam ✨
