“Pathetic Hotel with Heartless People”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2011

This Hotel is Pathetic..
1)Location look like SLUM.
2)No Good eat Out place nearby Hotel.
3)Lots of Wine Shop in & around Hotel where enjoying alcohol outside the wine shops & run with police alarm (i have personally notice it)

I reached Hyderabad Airport at 10.00pm I have in advanced informed Hotel travel desk to arranged a cab for me, for which they charged me 750+150Parking in fact any DOT CAB in Hyderabad drop you Airport for 450rs.

As I reached hotel at 11.00pm I had a smooth check in but Room I have booked from travel site was Deluxe but I was given Executive Room when I asked a waiter as the room does not look like a deluxe one, then I have been taken to Deluxe room.

The Room was pleasant & clean so as Bathroom & comfortable too then I asked for Dinner I have informed that Kitchen is closed, I asked for any kind of Snacks on which they replied that Hotel manager has locked the storeroom.
That was the night when I explored the place at Night looking for food, I observed the things which written above.

Why I call Hotel staff as Heartless people?
As the Hotel follows the checkout policy of 24Hrs, My checkout Time was 11pm but my flight was at 6.00am in morning, I asked extension of 3hrs as I was travelling with infant of 1year, hotel staff demanded me Half of room rate & exactly at 11.00 I got call from reception to vacant the room despite of fact that most of the hotel was empty & was not agreed to give me a chair at reception as then entire work force sleep in the lobby are of reception.

The best part of Hotel is clean & comfortable rooms rest all is a bad dream.

“Best pick only for stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2010

The hotel is best suit for stay as it is in the heart of city,on a busy road like King Koti road.
It has a restaurent for dinning & tifins.Very old hotel group in the city and has a safe & good location for family also.near to cinema hall, shopping centres and Nampally Station.The staff is good & polite but not groomed as per the modern hotel industry.Pure business class hotel and in budget with A/c , hot water, T.V.& a room service.

“A CLEAN, SERVICE ORIENTED, SAFE AND DECENT HOTEL”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2010

We stayed at this hotel in a double deluxe room with A/C from November 25 - 27, 2010. The room and bathroom were both very clean and bright. The breakfast was good and so was the service. The hotel even made arrangements for booking a full day cab and sightseeing trips. Their service was excellent. All the staff including the Manager, Michael were very nice and hospitable. It is good place to stay whether you are on business or leisure. We would love to stay at this hotel again.

“Needs Improvement in all the department”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2010

Had been to Hyderabad with my family for a wedding reception. The people over there booked this hotel recommending to be the best for Vegetarian traveler with family to stay.
The hotel is in very sad state with all departments needing extreme change over. The cleanliness needs to improve a lot, you can have a 3 star hotel situated right in front of a big pile of garbage. The rooms are not clean and spacey, no air and if you open the windows a stale smell comes in, the housekeeping is very slow and most of them only speak telugu and do not even understand Hindi / English.

I am very disappointed with the hotel and do not recommend for family.

“Basic budget hotel only - poor location for travellers”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Caution - many of the reviews written portray this property in a far too positive light and I have to wonder if they were written by the hotel management themselves. This hotel is actually located in Secunderabad (not Hyderabad - but in its neighboring sister city) and is not located near to any of the major sites. It is in an older, run down area and you'd find it impossible to believe that you are in the hi-tech capital of India. It is a long ways from the new Rajiv Ghandi airport (about an hour drive in good traffic - which isn't often). Not many choices in this area for eating or other activities - particularly for westerners.

The hotel itself is suitable for basic very budget or backpacker travel - and only if the location is not an issue. It is an older property without much evidence of upgrades over the years.

I can say that the management was very accommodating to our group and did provide very good customer service. Meals in the restaurant were fine and rooms were clean enough. Public access computer terminal available in the lobby. From a North American perspective, this would only rate a 1 star, but is more like a 2 star from an India comparison.

Decent, clean, very budget accommodations, but check the area carefully in terms of what your expectations about accessing the major sites in Hyderabad might be. If you are here to see and get around Hyderabad, then this is not the location for you. I would suggest you find something in more central areas like Banjara Hills or Jubilee Hills where you will have central access to sites, shopping, restaurants and modern conveniences.
