Vijayawada Hotel with a Game Room

Novotel Vijayawada Varun's games room sits alongside the indoor play area, and the two together cover a wider age range than either would alone: younger kids get the play area, older kids and teenagers get the games room, and both are available regardless of the heat or monsoon rain outside. The hotel adds an outdoor pool and a spa with sun terrace, rounding out a property built around having a genuine backup plan for every part of the day, whatever the weather is doing outside the windows, and a fitness room nearby gives parents an option too once the kids are settled.

The restaurant serves Chinese, British, Indian and international cuisine with cocktails available in the evening, so a family can move from the games room to dinner without leaving the building, useful after a day of sightseeing at Kanakadurga Temple or the Krishna riverfront when nobody wants another taxi ride before bed. Live music some evenings adds a bit of occasion to what would otherwise be a standard hotel dinner service, and the lounge area nearby gives parents somewhere to linger over coffee once the plates are cleared and the kids head back to the games room.

At 8 km from Vijayawada Station and 15 km from the airport, Novotel Vijayawada Varun sits at a reasonable middle distance from the city's key sights, and the 66 EUR rate with an 8.1 rating from 484 reviewers puts it in the mid-range for Vijayawada's better hotels. Since it's the only games room in the city on our list, book ahead if this is a priority for older kids on your trip, especially during school holiday periods when family rooms across the city fill up faster than usual and options narrow quickly.
