Guest Reviews

• Conor (2/5): - Absolutely the WORST and most horrifying experience I’ve ever had at any hotel in my life. I’m flabbergasted that this place is considered a 3 star hotel - I’ve stayed at run down motels with better service. The rooms are filthy, with a cockroach infestation. We had cockroaches crawling all over the walls and floors, and had to buy cockroach spray during our stay. The bedsheets were filthy when we first checked in and had LIPSTICK STAINS! There were dust balls and weird hair clumps in the corners of the room and the supposedly clean towels had yellow stains. The hotel staff are hilariously incompetent and barely speak any English or Telugu, and communicating with them for even the smallest of things was an absolute nightmare. The house keeping staff are extremely rude and inept, and ruined my shoes by carelessly spraying cleaning solution into my shoes while they were mopping the floors. What’s worse is that not a single person in this hotel took any accountability or responsibility for how terrible our stay was. Oh! And when we used their laundry service, they damaged our clothes and returned our clothes with pen stains! Most pathetic and horrible hotel and staff. Please stay far away!
• abhijitlohakarey (8/5): Good hotel in Hyderabad near IT hub - I recetly stayed at this property for 3 nights during a business trip to Hyderabad. It is located close to city's IT hub and conveniently located. There is a car parking available in front of this hotel. The rooms are spacious and well decorated. The staff are courteous. There is well spread buffet breakfast. The food is tasty. Some of the food items are quite spicy with lots of chillies e.g. sambar, rasam, gravy, etc. Hence, one needs to inform the staff at the time of food ordering to reduce the spices and chillies' levels. Overall a recommended place to stay while in Hyderabad.
• Monika (6/5): - It’s my third visit to this property and it’s not the same like my last visit. Staff, property maintenance, food, nothing was good.
• singhsaheb (6/5): Very average place.... - First, the good things: the rooms of this hotel are very large—I think the largest in its category—and they are neat and clean, too, with big bathrooms that have the necessary toiletries. The restaurant looks premium, and the food I had was tasty. Breakfast was also okay. The bad things are that the whole hotel seems like a darkroom, with no sunlight from any side. The big room has the tiniest window a hotel can have, and the carpets in the lobby and restaurant were literally stinking and worn-out. The reception is in a very awkward place, and the entrance seems like the entrance of a cheap bar.
• Jerome (8/5): - .
• AlexReg99 (8/5): good hôtel - Very decent hotel. formality for foreigners at the entrance but nit too long 🤣 spacious and clean room. Ans clean barhroom too. breakfast ok for the French that I am with a lot of choice 😂. close to everything and especially a great shopping center.
• Monika (10/5): - It’s good overall
• Robert (10/5): - The value and worth of my 7 day/night stay at the Minerva Grand Kondapur; Excellent! And as a traveler to India for over 4 decades, that says a lot. Indeed, the comfort of my room, the tranquility there, and the overall cleanliness of my room, the hallways, the overall facility, alone: I would highly consider the Minerva whenever I might return to Hyderabad. But what stands ABOVE all of this: the stellar service expressed to me by the staff. This is what places the Minerva permanently on my map with Bold Letters as #1 choice to return to. There are such a number of staff who expressed their professional and kind attention to my needs. Where to begin? I had written down a list of names to keep note of, but sadly in the midst of my return journey, I lost that page. By memory: Vikram at the front desk, Prasanth at the front desk; both of whom facilitated my stay, my transportation smoothly, respectively. Also Vijay who arranged for me to have an adaptor so that I could use my computer with an American plug, for recharging. And those, each warm smiles, who served me at the Blue Fox restaurant [as well as those cheerfully taking my phone orders --chai and more-- for delivery to my room], and those who delivered meals to my room, and those who assisted me at the elevators. I very highly recommend the Minerva. And I hope, per circumstances, to greet the Minerva staff again in the not distant future. [Finally, I apologize for missing other specific names.Kind wishes.]
• srmora66 (10/5): Everlasting hospitality and serene! - Excellent and well sustained pax delight attributes years together in a flawless mode. During my multiple visits, feeling same freshness and "all in their place" which felt during first visit few years back. This time witnessed of so many new Menu items additions at buffet. Eversmiling lady before dining is same who welcomes whole heart and asks politely " Are you from room stay or walk in?" Thanks to her care and timely providing hot dosas!
• ShashiSN (2/5): Average rooms with pathetic service - Room cleanliness is average. Water stains everywhere in the bathroom. Rest of the place is okay. AC works but temp control did not work. Service is pathetic... We booked 2 rooms, one through a website and the other later on directly. We were told no breakfast over phone for both rooms, but mail for the second room said breakfast included. The front desk too said no breakfast included. However during checkout we were told that breakfast was included in the package but they cannot do anything as it was already billed.... It seemed as though most of the staff were interns.. Overall a disappointing experience
• vishnu1369 (2/5): GROUP PARTY - Worst experience we had in minerva kondapur. They are not able to handle the group gatherings like 100-150 members. better to avoid this hotel. They were literally failed to serve the starters to us. We need to enter the kitchen for starters. Staff are helpless and under pressure. Even soft drinks also they were not able to supply sufficiently. Simply saying stock completed. Its waste of money for group gatherings. Even food also not sufficient. More than 30 people not even got sufficient food.
• Anish Vasudevan (6/5): Experience : OK OK TYPE - The experience was an ok type. The food wasn't great. The room service was pathetic. Some weird sounds from AC.
• SriramJSS (8/5): Comfortable stay near to multiple places - We stayed there as we had to attend a family function nearby. Stay is very comfortable, and amenities are good for the budget. Staff was very prompt and service is good. Breakfast is good. Would have been better if they have South Indian options in lunch and dinner as well.
• SBJANA (8/5): Great place to stay within the budget.. - I had stayed last week for 5 days, accommodated by my company. It was my first stay in this hotel. Room was maintained very neat and clean way. I could easily compare the room colours, aesthetics, designs and room supplies with Novotel Hotels. Minerva has maintained very well. Employees were being hygienically present, showcasing good attitudes while assisting and serving me. I saw many interns (in white shirts) were also serving, they were with masks and complete service attire. Loved it, especially during this pandemic situation. It was the night curfew imposed in the city and I was facing few problems for that. However managed with few services in hotel. I had frequent requests for water in my room as Hyderabad now is terribly hot and the team was always punctual for this too.. Food taste is also good, although I didn't have any interaction with their Chef. Chicken Biryani was really good. I requested for late check-out and they agreed upon. Special thanks to the FO female member, BluFox Supervisor (Cant remember their names), they were very helpful all the times.
• srmora66 (10/5): Same customer delight - un shattered! - I am a regular customer to Minerva grand and with Kondapur property I have stayed last in 2019 March and there will be a tours gap due to Corona pandemic. Comparing with my last stay experience, nothing has changed, same hospitality levels, hygiene, customer delight etc. Only suggestion to front office is to wear face mask as during my checkin/ checkout, I have witnessed a nice smiling girl without mask and a handsome guy with half wear mask. And heartful apreciation also to front office for their support in quick and hassle free check in and checkout. Serene, Hygiene and room interior delights are as usual top-ups.
• njydlife (10/5): Oustanding - Very well located and have commutation to different places and very near major IT offices and close to the malls & multiplexes in the city . Walkable distanve from major cinema halls in the city and close to ORR
• Ah (10/5): - Its okay all over good place ,good food nice staff
• JAY (10/5): Nice - Nice and Comfortable
• I5213OXpault (8/5): Great place to stay in Hyderabad - I stayed at the Minerva Grand in Kondapur for three nights. The staff are very helpful, the room was very clean and it felt like a safe place to stay. There’s a restaurant called the Blue Fox at the hotel and I highly recommend it. I had the best chicken tikka masala I have ever tasted. I liked it so much I had it for dinner every night. Getting about Hyderabad isn’t easy without the Uber app. I recommend you have this downloaded on your phone before you travel. Wi-if was a bit hit and miss at the hotel. That aside, a great place to stay in the tech district of the city.
• pratnaparkhi (8/5): Minerva Grand Hyderabad - Minerva Grand Kondapur is a good hotel. I had been there on 26 August 2019 with a few friends. The restaurant Blue Fox provides excellent food. It has dimly lit with nice ambience. We had ordered Tomato Soup, Dum Biryani, Sambhar Rice and Curd Rice. All the items were quite tasty. The service was also excellent. Location is also good as it is not very far from HiTech city
• rajaksk (2/5): Unfriendly staff and horrible service - I booked several rooms and function hall for an event. My experience with the hotel is very bad. There was power cut in the function hall at the crux of the moment and there was no immediate backup DG turned on. They have no concern for the customers priorities. The staff in the reception are illiterate. They don't even know what customer care is. I'm really disappointed with the service. I never recommend to anyone about this hotel.
• rohit706 (8/5): good hotel - Its on the main road but little bit old property. Good breakfast buffet included. Rooms are spacious with all amenities. Room service is also good. Restaurant is attached with lot of options in the menu.
• darkH0RSE10 (10/5): Excellent Location, Great place to stay - The reception is very secluded in this hotel to the left as you go pass the main doors. Warmly welcomed by the staff who takes you through the check in process. You need ID to check in here, for every individual on the booking, staying overnight. There’s always a person who is ready to help around the reception area. I would advise, get a WiFi password while you are at the reception. There’s a strange process to get a password when you are in the room that never worked for me. Bedroom: Massive and very comfortable bed. I have stayed here 5 days, and had good sleep every day, even though I slept late and got up early. Had a good size sofa and tea table. TV was provided with complimentary tea. NO Biscuits. Lots of water, which you definitely need to keep hydrated in this city. A wardrobe with Locker present. The room has one window at the back, that gave light when needed. Apart from that there’s no natural source of light. The room is well lit with the lighting inside. Decor was brilliant. Very clean. Airconditioning: The room had a ceiling fan, that keep the room cool, if you didn’t need Air conditioning. I used both. Air-conditioning was available and came up very quick to desired temperature. Very easy to use too. Power points were in many places to charge your phones, laptops etc., Bathroom: Bathroom was class. A wet room with good lighting. All the toiletries are provided, including the dental kit and vanity kit. Water temperature could be adjusted to our convenience. Toilet was clean. A Hairdryer was available. Dining: There is a restaurant “Blue Fox” on the first floor of this hotel. A bit dark, not well lit, however that is the styling I guess. Good space for dining. Lots of food choices. They do close a bit early I thought but might be normal timings in the city. You could request for in-room dining, order food to room unto 11pm though. The restaurant serves both alcohol and non-alcohol drinks. Location: Airport/Train Station - You need to leave some time to arrive to Airport or Train Station. Airport is almost an hour away, and nearest major train station is 45mins away on a good day. Traffic is always horrendous especially during peak times, so give a good half hour either side to reach any place. Public Transport: - Public transport is abundant. You can get a Taxi, auto rickshaw on the door step of this hotel. - Buses stop by, but you need to be skilled to get on a running bus, hang on at the door until you get some space indoors etc., - Metro is not far from this place. Restaurants nearby: - There’s no problem in finding a restaurant of your preferred cuisine in this place. The Hitec city being nearby, you have lots of options to find food, from very much street food to high budget class restaurant. Other Amenities: - There is a superstore downstairs next door and you would get everything you need. Overall, this place would be my choice of stay if I ever comeback to Hyderabad. Amazingly different, well equipped, clean, stylish and safe.
• srmora66 (10/5): A definite home away from home! - Good location, spacious rooms, appreciable house keeping, yummy foods (can have a taste marathon, if you are a non veggie), hot an delicious spread of complimentary breakfast buffet with Indian, Chinese, Continental items along with starters of fruit, bread and eggier sandwiches are prime delights of this property. Check in and checkout is hassle free as Mr Vasu at front office does have tailor made solution for all of your needs. You just express your query, rest will be taken care by him. Room service is excellent and Biriyani (Mutton) is so delicious as I ate all huge quantity alone which usually suffecint for two to three people very comfortably. Tourist spots like Shilparamam, Malls, green business centre (Sorabjee building of CII) are at quite walkable distance max. wihtin a 400 - 700 meters reach. Used their fitness amenities, though small in setup well maintained. No idea on SPA since I haven't asked for the same. Only disaster is TV entertainement where as Hathaway set top boxes most of the free, DD and crab chaneels can be viwed & even local region Telugu channels also not subscribed. Hope there will be a focus on this aspect by management subject to their policy matters. Finally, one point need to quote on effectiveness of WIFI is quite comfortable. Coffee maker available - also an empty mini bar. Wash room toiletries are of best quality I ever used especially at mid range tariff hotels , usually property admin won't focus much on this like providing small tablet soap & 1 rupee shampoo pouch etc, but here , you can get good quality soap, lotion and shampoo. With the current stay delight inspiration, thinking of having hospitality of Minerva grand, Tirupati (A.P, India) during our family's upcoming May 2019 marriage anniversary celeb' tour.
• saik1463 (10/5): Best hotel in hitech area hyderabad - I have been there for 2 days i felt happy with service ambiance food in restaurant good ,lupain breakfast with filter coffeehere the staff are good rooms are kept neatly .Located near to hitech exbition hall
• Prabhakar (10/5): Our HYD stay - Except check in process everything is great. Breakfast is very good. Location is good too
• Pradeepnalla (6/5): - Great location for my trip plans Made me extremely uncomfortable for checking & check out process.No customer service at all ,that should be priority for service industry like hotels.Since My childhood,Minerva& Bluefox were my favorite places to dine & lodge.I don’t think,I ever go back.
• njydlife (8/5): Exec meal & corp lunch box @floor 1 - One of the mose popular lunch spot among IT professioanal close to offices like google & TCS. Corporate Lunch boxes, executive meals & combos customised For those in a mood to taste local flavours, answers to that as well. It serves Buffets for Breakfast & Luncheons, which is ever popular with IT & other corporate professionals for the spread & value for money and A la carte dinners. Generally crowed on weekends.
• AnjanManda (8/5): Food is great - Attended dinner party.variety of dishes.very tasty and delicious.non veg dishes with right spices were special.enjoyed the food.visited their hotels outside city also.Their quality and service is always impressive.
• BondugulaDilipK (8/5): Online order - This restaurant has got good soup which will kickstart your meal.It was so delicious that even after completing the meal,i was getting the taste of soup.It was very different compared to many restaurants.Loved it
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel rooms were good for the price. Room service could have been better.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Overall stay experience. - Extremely disappointed with the overall service. WIFI was not all working all the time. people did not resolve it quickly.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Okay place, don't go by the pictures online. - The rooms have not been maintained well at all. Don't go by the pictures shown online. The first room smelled like mold. I asked them to switch me to a different room. But the A/C in the other did not work well. Opaque windows, so you don't get any natural light. The corridor is dinghy. The breakfast was rather nice though.
• Verified traveler (8/5): good - yes of course it was a good one to stay. but only problem that check in and checkout timings should be 24 hours otherwise we are loosing money for full one day.
• Susana (10/5): Great breakfast, comfortable bed, quiet. - To put it in American terms: you're getting a Hampton Inn (but with much better breakfast) for the price of a Motel Six. Stay at this hotel if you need to be in Kondapur or near Hitec City. Great south Indian breakfast buffet, best mattress ever, good soundproofing so we didn't suffer from the incessant street noise.
• Manisha (4/5): Wont recommend for longer stay - Two things which hotel should consider changing - internet connectivity which is too slow and buffet breakfast which is same everyday. Seriously everyday same breakfast!!! If you have to stay for a day or two it is good. But in case you are staying for more than a week, please consider other options too.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Perfect business hotel - The accommodations are great for a business visit. The room was nice and clean, the shower works really well (great water pressure and temperature). The breakfast buffet was delicious and had many options.
• Prem (6/5): good hotel and poor service - front office took 36 minutes to allot me a room even after booking online.!!! once u place room service food order or any house keeping requests, it takes forever to come to room. rest all good !! good thing about all is very good breakfast !!!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good Hotel - Very good
• MUKUL (8/5): OK - OK
• Verified traveler (8/5): Very Nice - It was excellent. I would definitely like to stay in this hotel. Room quality was very good & also the restaurant.
