Top hotels in Shaikpet
Hyderabad Marriott Hotel & Convention Centre
The hotel is situated very close to Husein Sagar (a lake with stale water). As soon as you step out, you can not avoid breathing in bad smell and polluted air. The breakfast was no good and very expensive. Not much choice or quality. Very little western choices.
