Pros:

Property was good facilities, everything very good.
Billing they applied some tricks to fool the customer. I was ready to pay before check in but they said after check out only. We have booked for 5 including one child 15 years. For that they need additional payment which I refused. They added somebody else bill 3650 to our bill. Which he promised will return to my account. So far not received. I have booked 3 hotels through booking.com. Only this accounts created unhappy situation. Appreciate you to raise same to their management to avoid repeat same.

A very pleasant stay in a heritage hotel - very good ambience, delectable cuisine, great hospitality, comfortable rooms.
Pros:

My wife and I stayed at Taj Falaknuma hotel from 23rd morning to 25th morning (two nights). Our experience was superb. The atmosphere was grand and very hospitable right from the time of arrival. All the staff was very cordial. The room was very well appointed. The view of the city from the hotel, and especially while having breakfast at the terrace was just superb. The greenery and foliage created an excellent atmosphere. It was good value for money.
Just two observations:
1. The drive to this beautiful property was generally good, but the part through the old city gave hiccups.
2. While adding elevators may disturb the heritage value, a few elevators tucked in somewhere, hidden from the eye, may be considered if there is space for them. It would assist senior citizens quite a bit. (The one existing elevator is too small and does not go to the top floor.)
On the whole, a memorable stay.

A Memorable Retirement Celebration at Taj Falaknuma Palace
Pros:

Had a wonderful and truly memorable experience at Taj Falaknuma Palace, Hyderabad, where we came to celebrate my retirement.

The hospitality was exceptional, and the entire team made our celebration even more special. Everyone was extremely courteous, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay.

I would especially like to appreciate Sunaina, Priya, Sudarshan, and Sudhakar for their outstanding service and warm hospitality. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made us feel truly special and ensured that my retirement celebration was a beautiful and unforgettable occasion.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire Taj Falaknuma Palace team for making such an important milestone in my life so memorable.

Warm regards,
Joseph Rodrigues 😊

Feeling at home!
Pros:

We loved the hospitality, care and pampering at the property during our stay.

We were thoroughly spoilt by the FnB team, helmed by Nasir and Santosh. The staff are very intuitive and eager to make you feel at home in every context. Be it indulgent traditional dishes that were real novelties, or digestive drinks after heavy meals, or simply some extra papadums...some went above and beyond - to name a few: Shyamantika, Nitin, Hanif, Saroj, Salman, Sudhakar, and even Chaaru, who brought the takeaway cup so intuitively, everyday, after asking on the first day. Chef Dinesh introduced himself and was kind enough to make a few off-the-menu dishes for us on day 2 of our stay. They all project the same ethos, that can only be a top down approach forged by the GM Mr. Shrikent. Amazing!

Latha in reservations is impressively prompt and efficient . A few people at the front office need special mentions as they made accommodations for us, especially given our tiring schedule during the trip, to make it as comfortable and convenient for us. Sravya, Shiba, Shunaina , Aabid and Qayyum were standouts even amongst the fabulous staff.

We love coming back because we love the pampering to be honest. Thank you all for making our stays so refreshingly consistent.

Unique and luxurious
Pros:

Historical palace and completely different experience. You are treated like royalty. Palace tours, Sufi qawwali. Excellent breakfast. Attentive staff.

If you are staying at this hotel, it should just be to stay and enjoy the amenities and activities.

Cons:

Given that it is a palace, getting in and out is a hassle. Long golf cart rides to the where you can board cabs eventually. The location is not central to Hyderabad/secunderabad metro and that was a major inconvenience for us.

Taj Falaknuma Palace Review
Pros:

Our stay at Taj Falaknuma Palace was a wonderful experience and truly reflects the grandeur of royal luxury.

The royal welcome, beautiful palace, rooms, and overall service were excellent. The staff were courteous, attentive, and always ready to assist. The food was good overall, although I felt there was one area that could be improved.

I had booked a package that included breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The main disappointment was that the same menu was offered for both lunch and dinner, which made it less enjoyable, especially when staying for multiple days. Having more variety between lunch and dinner would make the dining experience much better.

Apart from that, everything was excellent. A must-visit place if you want to experience royal luxury, heritage, and exceptional hospitality.

A special mention to Sudhakar and Nasar for their excellent service at the restaurant. They were very attentive, courteous, and made our dining experience pleasant.

Also, Ramesh from Housekeeping deserves special appreciation for his quick response and excellent service. His prompt assistance and attention to detail were truly appreciated.

Overall, a memorable stay and a wonderful royal experience. Highly recommended!
