Taj Falaknuma Palace

Good atmosphere, great ambience and with its value

It was such a wonderful experience to stay here..a true zamindari feeling.we had a one night stay over here. Awesome..beyond my words..the breakfast spread was too good..
The restaurant executives Mr Sudhakar Nawsar Salman Satyajit, they all are a gem of a person..they guided us well.. and also gifted us a box of osmania biscuits..will love to visit this place again..

We visited as a family of 13 to celebrate my wife's birthday. The hotel is beautifully located, occupying the former residence of the Nizam's family, and the property carries that history well. The layout is measured and the pace unhurried — in the best possible way; simply being there feels relaxing. The palace tour is a must, and my wife loved the grand halls. The Indian vegetarian food was average and could be improved. Service overall was good, though the Front Office staff could use some training and polishing. Worth a visit.

Our Hi-Tea experience at Celeste, Taj Falaknuma Palace , Hyderabad was truly exceptional. The royal ambience, delicious food, and impeccable hospitality made it a memorable afternoon.

A special thanks to Dipanshu for the warm hospitality and attentive service. Your professionalism and kindness made our experience even more enjoyable.

A heartfelt appreciation to Prem Anand, the talented pianist. It was such a lovely surprise when he played two beautiful baby songs, and our daughter absolutely loved them. Watching her smile and enjoy the music made our visit even more special. His performance added a magical touch to an already wonderful afternoon.

Thank you to the entire team at Taj Falaknuma Palace for creating such cherished memories. We look forward to visiting again.

Very professional well behaved and attentive staff specially Mr Gopal Naik and Amjad Deepak (Durban) , MD Waseem who had very good knowledge about palace history and Mr Aabid front desk manager polite and professional

Great asset for Taj Falaknuma Palace

Had an amazing experience at Celeste, Taj Falaknuma Palace! From the moment we arrived until the time we left, everything was simply perfect. The hospitality was truly outstanding and made us feel so welcome and comfortable.

A special thanks to Sudhakar, Nassar, Satyajit, and imnawati for taking such great care of us. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to every little detail made our evening even more memorable. They were always smiling, attentive, and ensured we had the best dining experience.

The food was absolutely delicious, the ambiance was royal and elegant, and the service was beyond expectations. Thank you to the entire team at Celeste for making our visit so special. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

Well, to start off with... this is absolutely a must-visit property of Taj. We had the MOST wonderful experience! Right from the way we were escorted to our rooms, to the great service, the delicious food, and every small detail about the palace—everything was flawless.

A SPECIAL THANKS to Jwala, who helped us during dinner at the restaurant 'Adaa' and breakfast at the 'Gol Bungalow'. He provided exceptional service to us, and we couldn't be more grateful.

All the staff at the property were absolutely courteous and helpful at every single step. We loved our stay, and it was truly an unforgettable one!

There are luxury hotels, and then there is Taj Falaknuma Palace—an experience that truly redefines hospitality. Having travelled extensively and stayed at many premium properties, I can confidently say that the level of warmth, professionalism, and genuine care we experienced at Falaknuma Palace is second to none.

From the moment our vehicle approached the magnificent entrance gates until the time we reluctantly checked out, every single interaction made us feel like royalty. Hospitality here is not merely a service—it is an art, perfected by every member of the team.

A special word of appreciation goes to the Security Protocol Team—Mr. Gopal Naik, Ms. Aruna, and Mr. Waseem. They are the very first ambassadors of the Palace, and what an extraordinary first impression they create. Their impeccable professionalism, courtesy, attention to detail, and warm smiles made us feel welcomed, respected, and valued from the very beginning. Security is often unseen when done well, but this team combines vigilance with exceptional hospitality in a truly remarkable manner.

To Mr. Abdul Qayyum and the entire Reception Team across all shifts, thank you for your flawless service. Every check-in, request, inquiry, and interaction was handled with grace, efficiency, and genuine warmth. No matter the hour, the consistency of service never changed. It was evident that the entire reception team shares a common commitment to excellence and guest satisfaction.

The Restaurant Team deserves a standing ovation. My heartfelt thanks to Sudhakar, Nasar, Mohsin, Sujal, and the two wonderful team members whose names I unfortunately failed to note. Every meal was served with elegance, pride, and sincere hospitality. Their attentiveness, recommendations, and care transformed every dining experience into a memorable occasion.

As for the culinary experience—words hardly do it justice. The food at breakfast, lunch, and dinner was, in my opinion, truly Michelin-star quality. Every dish reflected exceptional craftsmanship, premium ingredients, and remarkable attention to detail.

The Lobster, Prawns, Fish, Marag, beautifully prepared BBQ grilled specialties, the wide variety of chicken dishes, the perfectly balanced Chicken and Mutton Biryani, the refreshing drink reminiscent of traditional Zeera Soda, and every single dessert were simply outstanding. Each bite was bursting with flavour and beautifully presented. It wasn’t just food—it was a culinary journey that delighted every sense.

The Spa experience was equally extraordinary. The therapists demonstrated exceptional knowledge, professionalism, and technical expertise. Every movement reflected years of training and genuine passion for their craft. The treatment was deeply relaxing, rejuvenating, and restorative. By the end of the session, I genuinely felt as though I was floating on air. It was one of the finest spa experiences I have ever had.

What impressed me most throughout our stay was not just the grandeur of this magnificent palace, but the people who bring it to life every single day. Every staff member we encountered embodied humility, grace, professionalism, and heartfelt hospitality. They didn’t simply meet expectations—they exceeded them in every possible way.

Thank you, Taj Falaknuma Palace, for creating memories that my family and I will cherish forever. You didn’t just host us—you welcomed us like royalty and made us feel genuinely special every moment of our stay.

To every member of your incredible team, please accept my deepest gratitude and admiration. You are a shining example of what world-class hospitality should look like.

We look forward to returning, Insha’Allah, and reliving this unforgettable royal experience once again.

Our stay at Taj Falaknuma Palace was overall delightful — the horse carriage welcome, beautiful grounds, thoughtful amenities, and cake in the room made it special. The palace tour was excellent and truly a must‑experience for anyone visiting.

However, a few dining experiences left us disappointed. My booking clearly mentioned a $100 credit for food or dinner for two, which was confirmed both at reception and again by the staff who guided us to our room. Yet at dinner, they only acknowledged the $100 option, refusing to honor the “dinner for two” part even after I showed the booking details.

Lunch at Adaa was another letdown, with service extremely slow — not just for food, but also for getting the check and having leftovers packed. Breakfast live counters like dosa and paratha were tasty, but the buffet spread felt limited compared to other luxury hotels.

Despite these issues, the stay itself was memorable thanks to the palace experience and warm touches.

Our stay at Taj Falaknuma Palace was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and pampered. The horse cart ride to the entrance and the lotus petal shower made us feel like royalty. Every staff member we met was friendly, smiling, and genuinely helpful.
A special thanks to Sravaya at the front desk for her warm welcome and for arranging our upgrade to the ShahJahan suite. It made our stay even more special.

The highlight for us was Chef Kaushal Singh. He took great care to understand our Jain dietary needs and ensure strict adherence to a separate kitchen setup for our meals. He curated a special dinner for us and did the same for breakfast the next day. He stayed with us throughout the meal, making sure we were comfortable and happy. Thank you also to Dhanajay, who took care of all our needs during our early dinner. The Qawwali night in the evening was great to watch, and the early morning peacock sightings were a pleasant surprise.

The palace tour was fantastic and gave us a real sense of the heritage. The spa therapists were excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing couple massage. Before we left, Sravaya surprised us with handcrafted gifts. Such a thoughtful touch.

Overall, an experience we will cherish.

This was an amazing experience throughout. Right from the checkin, morning strolls to evening dinners. This place sets a new benchmark for hospitality. I want to especially recognize Nasar for the amazing experience he and his team extended. He and his team are warm, ever present and willing to go an extra mile to ensure a seamless experience. His personal touch and dedication towards experience enhancement has definitely encouraged us to visit more frequently l. Also want to extend my thanks to Sudhakar in Adaa and Mounika for making our in room stay comfortable.

I will highly recommend this place l.

Keeping it short and simple

Why you should go here:
1. Soak in the royalty and the history of the Nizams which is very well maintained and preserved
2. Experience world class hospitality - super rooms, warm staff, amazing food, great activities and a beautiful property to explore.

This can't be possible without a well-oiled machinery so kudos to each and every person of this team for his/her tireless efforts to make it possible.

Here's to some of those who made our stay very comfortable: Rakshita, Sumanth, Sujal, Hanif, Phaljit, Amjad (who made us feel welcome as soon as we stepped into the main gate), Aabid (for a great orientation and check-in process), Shiva (who hosted an energetic yoga session), Raeez (who hosted an amazing palace tour), the chefs who dished up some amazing food.

A great place to choose esp if you are looking for options to celebrate occasions. Truly worth the experience.

Spectacular stay with highly courteous staff. We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary and they planned surprise events with live music. Peacock viewing is a must see along with horse buggy ride experience. Breakfast at goalbunglow is a stunning experience and the staff members especially Mr. Sudhakar, Santosh and Nazar make sure that you try all the palace specials.
