Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was nothing short of extraordinary. The room was wonderfully comfortable, and the turn-down service with chocolates was a delightful touch. The courteous and highly efficient housekeeping and catering team made me feel like I was staying at one of the top hotels in the country. The breathtaking views added to the perfection of my experience.
I had a delightful stay at Taj By Vivanta, Yashwantpura. The cozy suite with a separate sitting area from the bedroom was a royal touch, and the warm hospitality and impeccable service of the staff exceeded my expectations. The location offered stunning city views and convenience, although the cold water in December dampened my swim experience. The dining experience was memorable, especially the unique welcome drink at the high tea. Overall, a luxurious yet welcoming retreat.
The hotel offers beautiful rooms with excellent views and a tranquil setting but falls short of being the best accommodation I've experienced. The service is superb with a special care for non-dairy options, though not flawless. The location is one of the best in Hyderabad, creating a serene atmosphere, yet with a few minor drawbacks. The dining experience is excellent, fit for royalty, although not reaching the level of more modest properties in the area.
Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were beautiful, well-designed, and blissfully quiet after the Hyderabad traffic, though not quite living up to the heritage expectations. The huge bathroom with a separate bathtub, shower, and toilet added to the comfort. The spacious and well-appointed rooms truly justified the higher room tariff.
