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.

Novotel Hyderabad Airport Hotel
They don't clean your room unless you are in it, which they don't mention at check in. The ac in the room don't work properly, we would wake up in the middle of the night sweating. The only reason I gave them 2 stars is because the bar staff went out of their way for us.
