Katriya Hotel & Towers

Katriya Hotel and Towers is a long-running four-star hotel on Raj Bhavan Road in Somajiguda, Hyderabad, Telangana. Raj Bhavan Road is one of the city's main central thoroughfares, running past the Raj Bhavan, the residence of the Telangana governor, and linking Somajiguda with Panjagutta and Banjara Hills. The hotel's position gives easy access to the commercial and dining districts of Banjara Hills, the shopping areas of Punjagutta and the lake area around Hussain Sagar, and the Somajiguda and Ameerpet roads connect quickly to the Begumpet area. The hotel has been part of the Hyderabad hospitality scene for many years, and its identity is that of a traditional business hotel rather than a design-led boutique. Room types include Standard Rooms, Deluxe Rooms and Suites, and the listed rates of INR 3,800 to 9,000 per night make it a mid-range option compared with the five-star hotels across the city. On-site facilities include a restaurant, a bar, an outdoor pool, a fitness center, a business center and wifi. Dining is generally a mix of Indian and multi-cuisine offerings, and breakfast is typically included in many rate plans, though this should be checked at booking. Service is oriented towards business travellers, families and visitors attending events in central Hyderabad. The advantage of the location is that it is central and well connected by taxi and auto-rickshaw, with a variety of restaurants, cafes and shopping options within a short distance. Visitors should note that traffic on Raj Bhavan Road can be heavy at peak hours, so allowing extra time for airport transfers or visits to Charminar and Golconda Fort is advisable. Overall, it suits guests who want central access and full hotel facilities without paying five-star prices.
