Hotel (The Luxury Collection a Hyderabad

eccellente esperienza @ dakshin, ITC kakathiya, Hyderabad.Vorrei che l'intera squadra di dakshin e in particolare cuoco muthutra*** per la sua eccellente cucina e rendesse la sera memorabile la sua importanza di mangiare la autentica cucina sud indiana durante la visita to Hyderabad

I recently stayed in the hotels for a two-day visit in the city. This is my first ever stay in any ITC property as I usually prefer Taj and IHCL chain properties for a family vacation/staycation. The good part: 😀 1. The location is very good and close to offices in HiTech city. The view outside is pretty wonderful. 2. The hotel has a separate pool for adults and kids. 3. The staff running the hotels are very courteous and welcoming. 4. Room control can be accessed from physical switches/ provided iPad/ personal devices. 5. Late check-out is available on request. The not so good part: 😐 1. If you are travelling with kids then the food on the menu is not adequate however they can give your choice of food on request if possible. 2. I have had better experience in food for taste and quantity in other hotels. 3. It was a complete shocker to know that a proper camera is not allowed inside, however you can take a smart phone with a dslr like camera with no issue. I usually take my lumix anywhere I go and it was held at the security. However it was later released to me. It makes no sense though. The bad part: 🙁 1. Room upgrades are usually complementary in Taj/ IHCL chains if there is any availability. Here they will offer you, however for money. 2. You do not find many usual dishes on the menu. You can order that, however without knowing the cost aspect. 3. The kids' pool is not temperature controlled it seems. The water was cold. The adults' pool was perfectly temperature controlled. 4. Washroom do not close properly and batharea have transparent glass door. Horrendous experience if you are a family travelling with kids. 5. Smallest bathtub till date in a room with usual rent of 20 - 22k+ INR per day. From my point of view the hotel is probably not built keeping the indian family with kids in mind. It is good for a solo or couple on a vacation. The rating given based on my experience in comparison to the price one has to pay.
