This has to be the most wonderful place I have ever stayed in India, or for that matter anywhere in the world, and I am a seasoned traveler of luxury hotels. From the moment you arrive in a horse drawn carriage, with rose petals showered on you from above, you know you are in for a very special experience. We... More

If you are in Hyderabad for at least 2 days, PLEASE stay at this Palace. I had read other reviews which influenced my decision to stay here, BUT my expectations were EXCEEDED!!!! They pamper and coddle you so much here, you feel as if you are really royalty. I have never experienced this level of service ANYWHERE and I've been... More

The experience was royal to say the least, the service par excellence, the food scrumptious, the palace elegant, the spa service was rejuvenating, people friendly and helpful. All that said and done, i would recommend not spending more than a weekend here. Soak in the royal heritage and the very beautiful city view, take a tour of the palace, eat... More

My wife and I have stayed at the Taj Falaknuma Palace for the second time last weekend and, once again, it was a fantastic experience. The palace is gorgeous, the renovation is outstanding, the rooms are impeccable, and the service is among the best we have experienced in India (we have been there 10+ times). I read some of the...

What a magnificent hotel - a recently restored palace on a hill overlooking Hyderabad, away from the bustle of the city yet still part of it. The rooms and grounds are magnificent, as is the service, and no detail has been overlooked. One is made to feel like royalty, yet in a realxed way - I would go back there... More

Nothing I have ever tried comes close to this! This hotel or should I call it a museum was more than amazing. From the minute we arrived, we were treated as the Nizams who used to go there. From the horses getting us to the hotel and the flower leafs that fell from the skies. The rooms were wonderful, everything... More

I had the rare opportunity to visit the palace while it was still under renovation to restore it to its original grandeur. The original state of the immaculate dining and ball rooms with faded detail of hand painted facades that looked like marble were a reminder that the palace exceeded most of the finest palaces of Europe. This is not... More

No doubt that our stay at the Falaknuma ranks right up there with the best stays we've had anywhere. Every aspect of the magnificent property has been lovingly and beautifully restored. Our suite (and I'm certain this must be the case with every room and suite) was very tastefully and royally put together and had plenty of space. These were... More

After an exhausting day of traffic and travel and a small crowded airplane, I was met at the Hyderabad airport and whisked away in an air conditioned car through the city of Hyderabad. Upon arrival at the property, I could not have been more surprised to have been met by a horse and carriage to take me from the watch... More

We had planned on staying at the Taj for only one night until we got there. We quickly decided to stay two and I only wish we could have stayed more. It starts when they pick you up at the grounds gate in a beautiful two horse drawn chariot that deposits you in front of the Palace where you are... More
