I stayed at Hotel Khanna Fiesta for two nights last month, choosing it as part of the Bergamot chain of hotels and based on the many positive reviews on Google and TripAdvisor. While I didn’t have high expectations and was prepared for a moderate experience, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of my stay. I generally prefer booking directly with hotels if the tariff isn’t significantly higher than platforms like Agoda. Upon contacting Hotel Khanna Fiesta, Vellore after checking rates on Bergamot Hotels’ official reservation portal, I was quoted a much higher price by the hotel staff. When I highlighted this discrepancy, they confirmed the higher price would be final and couldn’t match the rate displayed on their own portal. It was an amusing situation, so I proceeded to book through the portal itself. The process was smooth, and I promptly received a proper confirmation email. Upon arriving, I noticed that the car parking area was shared with a restaurant in the same complex. However, the parking was well-managed, and I experienced no issues throughout my stay. The cozy room exceeded my expectations, being well-maintained and stocked with all essentials, including a clean and hygienic bathroom. The efficient air-conditioning was a welcome relief from the outdoor heat. The reception staff recommended their in-house restaurant, Zing, for lunch. However, after seeing its Google rating of 2.8, I opted instead for a nearby vegetarian restaurant in the complex, which had a rating of 4.0. While the lunch there was just average, we skipped Zing again for dinner, choosing a fine-dining option within walking distance. The following morning, we had our complimentary breakfast at Zing, and to our surprise, it was much better than expected given its rating. The breakfast spread was adequate—not overly extravagant—but everything was delicious, especially their dosa, which was outstanding. Encouraged by this experience, we decided to try Zing for dinner. The buffet dinner, offered at a very reasonable price (with no à la carte option), turned out to be a delightful experience. Every dish was exceptionally tasty, and the variety catered well to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. The restaurant staff were attentive, polite, and provided excellent service. We had the pleasure of meeting Chef Mr. Raman, whose humility and skill truly stood out. We complimented him on the delicious food and also mentioned the misleading Google rating, which had initially deterred us. The restaurant team seemed surprised but receptive to our suggestion to focus more on managing their online reviews. Zing also features an open terrace area and a large screen for enjoying live television, such as sports—an added touch. In summary, Hotel Khanna Fiesta is an excellent choice in Vellore, conveniently located near the Fort and main shopping areas. The rooms and their upkeep are impeccable, and the hospitality is commendable. A small suggestion: consider providing hand wash near the washbasins in the bathrooms. Do not miss dining at Zing restaurant, and savour the incredible food crafted by Chef Raman. Kudos to the Khanna Fiesta team for a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this hotel for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Vellore.

We booked in Khanna Fiesta since we couldn't get in our usual places. We were initially a bit apprehensive while booking as well as when we reached the place. It is nestled inside a U-shaped shopping area with a hotel, restaurant, bar and a shop. Reception area is small; however, has seating, newspapers and water. Room was very spacious. Had all the room amenities expected. Safe was not working (under repair according to the hotel staff). Even after keeping the extra bed, there were sufficient room to walk around. Breakfast was served in the roof top. Breakfast was sufficient and had good variety (not much of continental items though). They have room service(didn't use). It doesn't have a pool (or a gym, I guess). I guess the 3 star rating is due to this. Vellore fort is walkable distance. There are shops and restaurants nearby. We tried the vegetarian restaurant in the same complex, which was OK. Overall, good value hotel for a comfortable stay in Vellore.
