Hotel S M Saravana Bhavan

Our hotel is over in the Sreenivasam Complex on Jayasyam Road. If you are coming into Tirupati by bus, you’ll find us right opposite the Korlagunta bus stand. It’s a very busy spot because of all the pilgrims and travelers moving through the city every single day. Being at Door No 13-6-616/J3/3T means we are right in the middle of the action. You can hear the buses pulling in and out at all hours, which is just part of living here. We don't have a lot of peace and quiet, but that's what you get when you're near the station. The place stays pretty full most of the time because people want to be near the transportation. We don't do anything too fancy. We just make sure there are clean towels and that the fans are working. Sometimes the elevator acts up or the hallways get a bit crowded with luggage, but we manage. My family helps out with the daily chores, from checking people in to making sure the water tanks are full. Tirupati is a spiritual place, but it’s also a very busy town, and we are just one small part of it. We see a lot of tired faces coming in from long trips, and we just try to get them settled in without too much fuss. It gets hot and crowded, but we have been doing this long enough to not let it bother us much.
