Top hotels in Shaikpet
Hyderabad Marriott Hotel & Convention Centre
The pricing felt quite high for two guests, with the buffet costing ₹5,700. The bathtub size is suitable for only one person. Additionally, the first impression upon entering the hotel was negatively affected by an unpleasant odor at the entrance.
