    The hotel is very centrally located. The staff is very helpful and proactive. The rooms were big and clean. The breakfast spread was a little less as compared to other Taj hotels and the sitting area was very limited. Otherwise it was a comfortable overnight stay. It's a business hotel so nothing much to offer as such.

    Not quite like a Taj... Impossible to walk on the private road to the hotel because of the strong stench of the lake. The lake is sewage and emits methane all the time. Rooms had very strong pesticide smell. Had to change the room. Breakfast is good.

    The location is awesome but since this is situated near a bank of drain or steady water which sometimes gives you an odd smell. Well overall good experience.

  • 4/5 avinash k. 1 year ago on Google • 185 reviews
    The hotelnis good and easy accessible. As it's located at the centre of city so easily accessible to rest all parts. Rooms are clean and tidy. Staff is very friendly. Food is good and tasty. The pool is clean and well maintained. There is a small open garden at the back for kids with few ducks. Few cons: The property is located on a busy road so crossing is difficult as there is no signal There is a pond in front and it gives very foul smell so can't room with peace outside. In all its a good family hotel to stay.

    The name says it all. This is a Five Star Property. Hospitality here is at its best. Staff is very courteous. Rooms are spacious and have antique ambiance. Food is awesome. Stayed here during July-21 during business travel. All COVID protocol are in place. Stayed in the lake side room, view was beautiful. This property is bang on the road so convenient for travelling to city and also for going to airport.

  • 1/5 Nandkishor S. 10 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    The hotel was really good. They gave a good price. It had all top class things which are inevitable for a 5 star hotel. They gave 2 complimentary food. Both were very good. The ambiance, wifi connection, lobby, restaurant, restrooms were very neatly maintained and they were kept very well. The only negative is the swimming pool. They have not put anywhere on the sites where we book hotels (at least evidently) that we should carry nylon clothes to use the pool AND they don't have a rental facility too. We went for a spiritual trip and obviously, we may not carry a swimming dress but there could be a provision for us to rent. The management should take this suggestion.

The second one is, they have a lot of vacant land however there is no child play area. That can also be a part of the premises when you have a pool, lawn, outdoor auditorium, and so on. I will rate them 4.5 / 5

    It was Amazing experience gather in nutshell. If you want to chill with friends or family then it's a best place to move ahead. The only problem is lake, it smells very pungent. Otherwise it's a good place to hangout. Also the taste of food is so delicious. Must recommend to go and visit.

    People need to check their check in time is 2PM , so plan accordingly. However they try to allocate rooms as soon as possible, during busy days it bit difficult we had to wait 1hr to get a room which was unexpected from my end. Rest everything is good. Apoted for dinner and breakfast buffet very good options with tasty food.

    The hospitality is great. Everything was squeaky clean and as you expect it to be. The only thing which was ugly was the lake behind the hotel. The lake view is no pleasure to your eyes. And the hotel administration should do something about cleaning and saving the environment which is there.

  • 3/5 Ashish V. 2 years ago on Google
    Out of three Taj properties in Hyderabad this is the oldest one. Old construction. Old interiors and A very odd entry and exit makes this property the last choice among all 3 Taj hotel in the city. Staff is very helpful and generous. Food was good. As the property is quite old, rooms gives a seepage smell. Biggest drawback is a drain next to the property. They call it water front.... Only advantage is the staff behaviour.

  • 5/5 Abdul W. 1 year ago on Google
    It was really an awesome experience staying here. Stayed here for 4 nights and absolutely loved every single bit of it. Right from room service to dining experience to the overall service, everything was highly satisfactory. The staff was welcoming at all times, you could feel the TAJNESS at all times. Looking forward to visit it again when I visit Hyderabad next time. Definitely recommended.

    I stayed in this hotel on 18 March 2022 with my family for vacation. Hotel is located at prime place, however, surrounding are not good. Room were clean and spacious. Very courteous staff. Food quality is good, their breakfast buffet was very delicious. Average hotel in terms of amenities and built structure

  • 5/5 unknown u. 1 year ago on Google
    We stayed at this property for 7 nights. This old but well maintained property is being looked after by a team of highly motivated and well trained staffs. All my requests were attended promptly to my satisfaction. The buffet breakfast was good. The co-ordination between staffs for giving guests best hospitality experience is commendable. Mr Animesh was very friendly and took special effort to make my kid feel good. However, two things were not so good. Firstly the stench from the lake needs to be curbed and secondly the swimming pool in-charge needs a few lessons on hospitality.

    Beautiful hotel with some legacy Indian architecture. There only drawback is the mosquito problem which is caused due to it's location right next to a lake. Great food served by highly professional staff. Strongly recommemded

    The hospitality of the staff is exceptional! Everyone is very supportive and helpful. The lake nearby is the only downside, the smell is very pungent and is stinking with garbage. However, the rooms are amazing and have bath tubs in almost every room. Room service is quick and better than any other I have been too.

    The whole stay was good, what I don't like is the entry gate which is very narrow and at night sometimes unnoticed. Other than that some smells are coming outside of the lake because of some cleaning activity I guess, so we were not able to roam outside the building. Food was nice with great hospitality, no doubt in it. All the staff are very nice and always there to help you.

  • 4/5 Padma P. 5 months ago on Google • 28 reviews
    We stayed at Taj Banjara hills last week for four days. There was some renovation work going on. But it did not bother us in any way. Restaurant is awesome. Their breakfast and dinner spread was excellent. The chef was extra friendly and made dishes that suited our children. The Andhra dishes were superb. There were some small issues that they settled at the earliest. I am impressed with the service. Thank you team, Taj Banjara for making our visit to Hyderabad special. Request: please make rooms suitable for a family with kids. May be an attached room or a room to accommodate 4.

    The stay was really awesome...the staff is very friendly and good... Amazing gesture as we were early for check in without any prior notice and it was a try journey overnight and we just requested them and they swiftly provided the same ..... really happy with the gesture......... Must try this hotel

  • 4/5 Rishabh S. 1 year ago on Google
    Old property, cost is cheap considering the brand. Excellent service, restaurant food is amazing (all 3 meals) tad costly but maybe due to inflation. Everyone was helpful, front desk was quick to respond to calls. Taking a star off cuz property is old but everything worked fine.

  • 3/5 Anubha S. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn’t maintain the brand at all. Breakfast was good and rooms were not big as it should be. Washrooms and staff was very good and humble and property needs a bit work. Twin bed issue and they dont have single queen bed available too

  • 5/5 srinivas v. 1 year ago on Google
    I went for dinner. The cost was approx 1650 per person. The quality of food was good. There were lots of variety in deserts. They dont charge extra for kids below 5 years. The ambience was not great but was decent. It was a very decent trip.

  • 5/5 shrishti s. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff is impeccable, considerate, and helpful. The food is amazing, especially the breakfast buffet has a variety of options to choose from and they all taste delicious. The rooms are well maintained. The Front Office team is very warm and welcoming. Thank you for making my stay memorable

  • 4/5 Parag P. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice and comfortable place for a business stay. Like the way their restaurant is setup by the lake. If the lake had better maintenance it would have been an even better property

  • 4/5 abninder pal s. 2 years ago on Google
    Adding to my earlier comments, Staff and entire team is very hospitable, plus the location of the hotel is perfect if you have work or on a holiday as all places of interest are close by... And well connected

  • 5/5 Local Home S. 2 years ago on Google
    Thanks to the crew for offering good services. We met our clients there & we finally got their attention towards future planning's with good ambiance. Thanks to my partner RJ Global solutions for suggesting such a nice place.

  • 5/5 Srani 2 years ago on Google
    Pros - Chicken Biryani was the best.. overall starters are the best..raita with a tint of black salt was awesome... Ambience is good.. great place for a family get together.. Comparatively to other Taj.. Taj Banjara is very reasonable.. Cons - You find mosquitoes welcoming during dinner time at the corner tables. Dirty smell as you enter the main gate towards your right side water should be taken care. Toilets to be taken care

  • 5/5 Subas C. 2 years ago on Google
    Taj Banjara Hyderabad Taj Banjara is the first five-star property in the erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh. It is known for its advantageous location and scenic beauty. It has been and is the choice destination of politicians, high profile bureaucrats, film actors and diplomats since its inception. A queenly reception, Well-appointed rooms, room amenities, swimming pool, steam, Spa and a moderate gym are some of the main attractions. The staff trained to be real pampering artists will acquaint you with the many nuances of hospitality till you leave. Akshay Kumar, the Executive Chef, is one of the most admirable personalities you demand to meet who treats you with motherly care. You name a cuisine, and he will take care of the rest. Although the Covid restrictions, the buffet is not as widespread as it used to be, we have thoroughly enjoyed choicest cuisines of our desires, including salads he made for five consecutive days, each one different from the other. It was a revelation. Mr Majid, the F&B Manager and Mr Rakesh Kumar, the Front Office Manager, are the key players in ensuring that your stay is safe and comfortable. Mr Deepak, the bartender, Mr. Selva Raj IRD,Mr. Sankesh Kumar KH, Animesh, Aiswarya Roy of the reception, Subojith, Yerrayya of the security and Mr Ram babu of the Spa deserve their excellent service. The full credit of their grooming goes to Mr Srinivas, the cluster General Manager of the Taj Banjara and Taj Deccan. The Taj Banjara is a popular location for get-togethers for 500 to 2000 people because of its impeccable arrangements. Being surrounded by a lake and lush greenery, this property is an additional plus since it will not make you miss mother nature. You can have your dose of exercise by brisk walking in the walk area. Happy hours are there to perk you up, and it is topped with mouth-watering rich snacks. Indulge in igniting your GI system without compromising quality and standards. Staying here is a rare opportunity to foreigners to stay with $100 a day with BF, lunch, and dinner with fortifying drinks. Since the property is located right at the city centre, easy access to the swanky shopping malls of Hyderabad is an added convenience. Please do not forget to explore the delicacies of Hyderabad,and Chef Akshay Kumar is ready to craft special exclusive dinners for you upon request. At the restaurant Kebab-e bahar, you can't miss Pattar ka Ghose, kalmi kebabs and broccoli in the white sauce will tease your tongue and blow your mind away. What more to add, entertain yourself with the choicest of the food, and make a conscious effort not to waste food and water. Ask for more, including packed BF if you leave very early in the morning.( I asked HK to change bed linen once in 5 days… don't we do it at home?) Bon Appetit!

  • 4/5 Hasan Q. 2 years ago on Google
    Well maintained like a heritage or retro building. Overall stay experience is good and services are quick. Good buffet for breakfast and dinner. Rates are competitive. But don't be fooled by lake view, that lake is more like dump lake.

  • 3/5 Santosh N. 2 years ago on Google
    Bathrooms are typical American style which may be a challenge for us Indians to adjust. The lake next to the hotel stinks and mosquito problem bcos of that. But the staff are the saving grace. Service is good. But the property and the rooms particularly are outdated. Screaming for renovation. But as long as the lake is not maintained this hotel will not be a pleasant experience.

  • 4/5 Vinod V. 2 years ago on Google
    I visited only for the lunch. The food (biriyani, fried rice, broccoli soup) was really good. The service was also great. There were very less people in the restaurant for lunch.

  • 2/5 avinash i. 2 years ago on Google
    The 5 star hotel has 5 star prices but rooms are outdated and appear 2 star. The lake beside it stinks and you can expect mosquitos. However, the morning breakfast was decent, and the best part of the hotel is its staff and their hospitality. They are quite helpful and professional.

  • 5/5 nivedita d. 2 years ago on Google
    It is one of the oldest 5 star hotel in the Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. Great location, very good service and hospitality by Taj members and above all very reasonable price. Only one thing I didn't like is when you take a stroll near the entrance you will get foul smell from Banjara Lake. But once the lake is cleaned, it will get better.

  • 5/5 chinmay c. 1 year ago on Google
    it near the lake, the staff was humble and helpful. Breakfast spread can be improved, compared to other Taj properties. The room are good and spacious. The downfall is stinking smell from the lake, which is really an issue. But the service and food is awesome. Much appreciated

  • 1/5 Mahesh Reddy A. 2 years ago on Google
    Bed is horrible. Room has mosquitoes. Room was not even cleaned properly. Not at all expected from Taj group. Being a Tata group employee feel bad to give this review. The only star is for the staff and their behaviour which are on par with any other Taj group hotels

  • 4/5 A K L. 2 years ago on Google
    Good hospitality.Courteous staff.F&B manager Mr.Majid & his team look after the guests with individual attention.The reception & Housekeeping staff is also very cooperative.Only drawback is the smell from the sewerage drain located in front of Hotel.

  • 4/5 amol n. 2 years ago on Google
    i stayed with you from 25/12/21 to 28/12/21 with family. Over all stay was excellent. Only issue was the pond next to, which was stinking like hale all throughout..The reception , restaurants and house keeping all staffs were good and helpful. Thanks Utpal Roy

  • 1/5 Likhith C. 2 years ago on Google
    We stayed in 517,519 rooms . Bed frames had lots of dust and webs. Rooms had fungus/mold smell. Drainage smell all around the building entrance. Frankly I didn’t feel the experience of going to a five star hotel.

    Very good hotel in the lake side.. great hospitality and delicious food. Spacious rooms and good amenities. Located at the centre of the city and close to major attractions.. value for money

  • 1/5 Mugunthan U. 2 years ago on Google
    The hotel is decent but not upto the mark of a 5 star hotel. I booked a queen room, and the room looked neat but very old. I went for dinner buffet and the food was not up to the mark. Morning buffet was good. I felt I overpaid for the stay. I believe more modern luxury hotels could be less expensive than Taj Banjara.

  • 5/5 Miki S. 1 year ago on Google
    Good property, rooms are clean. The complimentary breakfast is also good.The location is also good for business purposes. The service is excellent. Staff is courteous. It's a nice hotel to stay. Only issue I faced was the TV channels. It seems to have an old look & many mainstream channels are not available.

  • 2/5 Deepanshu S. 2 years ago on Google
    Breakfast was very average (spread as well as quality). Well it's cheaper these days and "anyone" stays! But it's hotel's responsibility to maintain the decorum... People shouting and making noise throughout the night! This also makes room's insulation questionable! Vivanta is just a couple of kms away... Prefer that... Much better experience than this...
