Recently I have visited Hyderabad (city of worse traffic). My dates were 23-Dec-2013 to 27-Dec-2013
(during Christmas vacations). I went by my own car and I went from Pune to Hyderabad. It was not a good experience as I guess due to road condition. It took almost 11 hours to reach 575 km.
I started @ 11:00 from Pune and took halt at Solapur for lunch.after that I took a small nap of 15 mins for tea and snacks on a small village. Sorry but I forgot the name of that village.
I reached Hyderabad at around 11:00 PM on 23rd night and searched few hotels. 1st I went to hotel Haridwar which is cheap but not as expected, so I left to check some good hotels. After that I went to Sankalp Grand which is in Koti. (near by nampally station around 2 km)
Room was good and cleanliness was awesome and mattresses were thick otherwise, if you are tired from whole day sight seeing and when you really want to enjoy your sleep you got to know that mattresses are not comfortable but in this hotel all things are good and we took this hotel.
Details of tariff and contact you can find below:
This hotel offered me complimentry breakfast for me my wife and my 2 children.
Food was good and enjoyable. I would suggest that you should eat here in night. (after sight seeing) in ala-carte as the rates are cheap and quality is good also I would suggest that you should not eat ROTI, NAAN etc.as in Hyderabad all these things are getting prepared by maida only. So just ask for chapatti and actually these chapattis are not normal chapattis these are kind of parathas, which is very good to eat.
I took 15% discount from hotel on my over all bill.
1444Rs - room rent (4 person - 2 adult - 2 children) including morning unlimited breakfast.
Hope this is good deal as per you guys.
Also as I said traffic is too bad in Hyderabad so I realized this by taking my car on 24th morning for sight seeing but 2 people put a dent on my car from front and back. So the next day I took a decision to just go by auto for full day sight seeing as they will give you plenty of time to visit the points.
I got this autovala @ 800 Rs from 9 AM to 8 PM. He was very good guy and he was also a guide, so he told us many things abt Hyderabad as and when we saw something we asked him and he replied nicely with all details.
