“Worst Experience at Ganesh Lodge Tirupati. Dirty Rooms, Unsafe for Families & Rude Staff”

I stayed at Ganesh Lodge in Tirupati close to the railway station, and it turned out to be a terrible experience, especially for families heading to Balaji darshan. The rooms were filthy and poorly maintained, with a strong unpleasant odor that made the stay uncomfortable. Cleanliness and basic hygiene were completely absent. Safety and the overall environment were alarming: guests smoked, drank, shouted loudly, and used profanity openly, even opening their room doors and speaking vulgar words, which made us feel unsafe with our family. When we reported this to reception, they simply told us, “Sir, lock your door and don’t open it,” offering no help or action. This response was unacceptable for a paid room. We came for a peaceful pilgrimage, not to endure such a hostile setting. The staff’s behavior was rude, especially after we had already paid; they were uncooperative and seemed eager to charge extra for any delay, as they were very strict about checkout times. Proximity to the railway station does not excuse a lack of basic cleanliness, safety, respectful staff, or a calm environment—especially for families and pilgrims. Think twice before booking Ganesh Lodge if you’re traveling with loved ones.

The actual property was far from clean, contrary to the pictures.

“Hotel nie dotrzymuje umów.”

I booked this hotel a few weeks before my trip to India, and the reservation was confirmed. When I arrived, I discovered the reservation had been cancelled. When I asked who cancelled it, the receptionist said, “There is no reservation.” It was odd because my booking was still visible on the website. I had entered my card details during booking, which seems common in a city with a large number of pilgrims. The hotel offered me accommodation at a nearby hotel for 2.5 times the price, at a much higher standard. I agreed, but I understand that Ganesh Lodge covers the price difference. That was a ridiculous joke. In the end, I stayed at another nearby hotel. I strongly advise against staying at a hotel that doesn’t keep its promises. I reported the issue and hope the company will reconsider allowing such properties on its platform.

“Not good do not opt”

Nothing I liked; it is not suitable for families. Very bad experience… please don’t go to this place.
