Hotel Silver Cloud

Hotel Silver Cloud is a budget two-star hotel in the Old City of Hyderabad, Telangana, close to Charminar. The address is given only as the Old City, so guests should confirm the exact street and directions with the property before arrival. The Old City is the historic core of Hyderabad, founded in the late sixteenth century, and it contains Charminar, Mecca Masjid, Chowmahalla Palace, Laad Bazaar and the Pathergatti pearl market. The area is a centre of Hyderabadi cuisine and craft trades, and visitors commonly come to shop for pearls, bangles and fabrics and to eat biryani, kebabs and Irani cafe snacks. Listed rates of roughly INR 1,000 to 2,200 per night keep the hotel in the budget category. Room types include Standard Rooms and Deluxe Rooms, both air-conditioned, and wifi is available. No restaurant, pool, spa or gym is listed, and guests generally eat at the many local restaurants and stalls close by. The hotel suits budget travellers, backpackers, pilgrims and families who prioritise being near the monuments and bazaars. The Old City can be busy and loud from morning until late at night, particularly around religious festivals and Ramadan, and roads near Charminar are heavily congested with pedestrians, autos and two-wheelers. As a result, guests are advised to allow extra time when arriving or departing by car, and to walk where possible. Modern Hyderabad, including Banjara Hills, Hussain Sagar and the HITEC City business district, is a longer ride away by cab or metro. Checking recent guest reviews, confirming what the rate includes and carrying photo identification for check-in are sensible steps for any visitor staying at a lodge of this type.
