Excellent Hotel and service! The rooms are spacious, and the clean. The staff is friendly, helpful, and service oriented. We were here for Diwali, and the hotel celebrated with fireworks. The restaurant on the 7th floor, Horizon, is the best in Vizag. Highly recommended!

The bed was awful. Though I was afraid to try it, I am fairly confident that the floor would have been more comfortable.

The rooms pictures on the booking websites in comparison to the premium rooms are disappointing. The wifi connection was poor all the time. There were no proper amenities provided in the room like towels, dental kits, etc. when we reached. They provided towels that were rough like sandpaper. The good part about the stay was the food although it was overpriced. Overall an OK stay. I would have preferred for Four Points Sheraton with the tariff I paid at Dolphin.
