This is not just a hotel; it’s an experience! Initially I was quite skeptical about its value, but it was totally worth it. The staff was so helpful right from service at the restaurant (kudos to Santosh, Pydhi Babu, Ramkrishna, Nilesh, Sujata and chefs Arun and Kaushal), to housekeeping specialists. This stay has been the highlight of my trip.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is an amazing palace, but it does not live up to either its reputation or high room tariff insofar as the Hyderabadi cuisine at their Indian restaurant. The food was not up to standard and did not have an authentic Hyderabadi taste or flavor! They need to hire a local Hyderabadi chef who knows “gharana food!” The restaurant staff are very courteous and accommodating, but again, the quality of food left much to be desired. An intern by the name of Gulnaz made our stay very special with her kind and compassionate demeanor. She’s a real asset to Falaknuma!

Amazing history, a true palace. Courteous service. Spa a bit expensive. Could benefit from more activities (maybe a guided tour of Hyderabad historical palaces, forts). Food for vegetarians could be a bit better in terms of choice.

Rediscover old world charm

We had the most amazing stay at the Taj Falaknuma Palace. The staff constantly went out of their way to ensure that all our needs were taken care of, besides surprising us with unexpected little extras every day. It was the most relaxing stay we have had in years, and I hope we will be able to visit again some time in the future.

It was the best stay we have had in India so far in our 30 years of travelling. What made it outstanding was its simple elegance of the guest rooms and the grandeur of the main palace was well maintained and kept. It was a surreal experience to be enjoyed, savoured and repeated for sure. The staff were extremely kind and took care of all our needs and beyond. If you feel you need to celebrate or simply thank yourself for being you , stay here to be royalty and be treated like one.

Once i arrived on the property, everyone in the staff were extremely polite and accommodating. They went above and beyond to meet my needs and make me comfortable. The customer service is excellent either at the onsite restaurants or for any room related services. However, before arriving on the the property I made several calls and this accommodating nature of the staff did not come through during the conversations which is very unfortunate because overall the staff and management exceeded my expectations and I have not seen this at any other hotels I stayed. Advice to the property is to train the staff to be more flexible and accommodating for customer calls before they arrive on the property. I especially want to thank the manager of the property MA Qayyum and the duty manager Mohammad Aabid and the other staff at the reception and restaurant staff for making my stay comfortable and enjoyable.
