The Manohar

So very conscious about doing an hospitality review during the pandamic. So all views may be based on low staff pressure etc. This hotel is located approximately 100 metres from the Begumpet airport and quite secluded the hustle bustle. It is an old property that is dilapidated and requires a lot of maintenance. When I say a lot, I am not humouring you. Rooms are quite dusty and tired, ac in the room is really loud. Beware of the telephone on which there sits a layer of dust. Kettle had to be replaced to just make it work. WC leaks . Maybe due to lockdown the hotel was shut so the musty smell all around is quite strong. The staff is minimal and anything you ask for will take a long time. Breakfast counter- well there is no counter! . There is one but hardly anything on it. Arrived well within the specified time but still nothing in the dishes and replacement took forever. I traveled with family and it was surely not a pleasent experience and certainly nothing to do with luxury. Truth be told the price I was paying I did not expect much but the actual experience was worse. As a hotel being used for a wedding destination ok, but even for a business stay this is not recommended!

I stayed at Hotel Manohar Hyderabad on the nights of 12th and 13th November 2020 while on a business tour with a colleague. On checking into the hotel supposed to be 4.5 stars, we were quite shocked with the quality of rooms provided. We were given ground floor rooms that had the stench of old. The cots looked like they had fungus on them and the bed linen did not look clean. We requested for a room on the upper floors and they obliged us with rooms on the third floor. This was not much of an improvement. 1. The tea kettle was unwashed. 2. There was no paper tissues on the tea table. (they said not provided. But later brought some table tissues) 3. No packaged water bottles. 4. There was no hand towel in the bathroom. (they said not provided) 5. Just half a roll of toilet tissue. No spare. 6. No hand tissues. 7. Just two bath towels is all that was there in the bathroom. 8. The bathtub had human hair in it. 9. The bathroom walls were cracked and paint peeling. The door was so dirty that you wouldnt want to touch it. 10. The furniture was ill maintained and peeling paint. 11. The bedroom walls were cracked and peeling at innumerable places. 12. The entire room looked like it hadnt seen a coat of paint for quite some time. 13. The breakfast was no surprise. A very sparse menu. Not even eggs or sausages. The hotel was booked by our company's travel agent at INR 6093 per night. Feeling suspicious, I just browsed on line and found the same room was available at INR 2183/-. Appalling to say the least.......

Room: is terrible. Old, Dirty and paint peeling off from everywhere especially in Bathroom, walls are dirty (check the pics attached), I really wouldn't recommend this hotel to anybody. They say its a five star hotel but in reality its not even 3 star hotel. There is no enough lighting in the room, all the amenities are very old (check the pics attached).AC will newer work, They will provide fans and the room is full of mosquitoes and so much saffocation and sweating inside, No Packed Mineral water bottles instead they will give manually filled water that too in worst condition. Third floor hallway is very spooky even at day times.No charging ports available in the room, had to remove the bed lamp cable to charge my gadgets. Door lock handle is supported by just a single crew (check the pics attached). Bad smell every where. Management: The guy at the reception named Mohammed Hussain and his manager are absolute liers. They are there for only cheating customers. Check-out: It is also a hassle as no one arrives to collect your bags during checkout and the reception says that they sent the boy and as usual no one comes,it seems that they have only one man for the entire hotel to carry the luggage. There are much better options available nearby (Begumpet Road) for e.g Manasarovar The Fern. Had good experience there prior to this one. Guys please stay away from this and save your time and peace of mind and Money

I am not a review writer, but compelled to write one when it touches your heart.. I made "The Manohar" hotel my home away from home for 9 nights on a personal trip to Hyderabad from US. Have a home and several relatives in Hyderabad, but had to stay in a hotel due reasons related to Covid-19 pandemic. Wanted to stay near to home rather than Hi-tech city side. While booking looked at several hotels, some are not operational due to Covid-19 pandemic and some didn't present well online. With the little search I did I ededed up with The Manohar. Been to several countries and several good resorts in the past. I am not comparing The Manohar with the amenities of modern luxury resorts, rather credit goes to the effort they put in to open the hotel and make it operational while the Covid-19 is raging in Hyderabad. I booked standard club rooms and was upgraded to suits with a living room and a bedroom. That made our stay more spacious and comfortable. My heart goes out to the staff at The Manohar hotel putting themselves at risk wile they trying their best to make your stay as comfortable and as pleasurable as possible. I can clearly see their best effort with the little resources available in mid-pandamic. In house restaurants are not fully operational but the staff made extra effort to accommodate and prepare custom-made meals every time with room service. They took extra care to serve me and my parents during our 9 night stay here. Front desk staff are courteous in attending to your requests round the clock. House keeping services might have been great too.. but I refused these services as I do not want anyone to enter my room to minimize my Covid-19 exposure during my stay at the hotel. The hotel staff accommodated my every request. They get a five star rating for their courteous service. Looking forward to staying here again in post Covid era when the hotel is fully operational. I am a small business owner too and I very well comprehend all the challenges the owner / management have to go through stay afloat during this tough time for everyone. I wish them good luck and thank them for the service.

The ambiance, hospitality and courteous staff of Hotel Manohar at Hyderabad made our tour pleasant and a memorable one. The hotel is is located at very nearby to Prakash Nagar Metro Station and famous Paradise Biryani outlet. The rooms are bigger and housekeeping is well. The Bouquet Manager Shrish was always on his toes in dinning hall and taking minute things in notice. At reception Sanyukta Das was very kind and gentle in dealing with guests.
