The Altruist Hitech Hotel

Good

Not good experience. Extremely disappointed with Expedia to charge 12k for the room. I have checked other sites and the prices for this hotel was much cheaper around 6k. Not sure why such high prices are charged for properties that are just about average and not even 4 or 5 star

The property upkeep is very poor. The rooms are not very clean, and there are stains and even mold in some places. I don’t expect a four star service, but cleanliness is very important. Hope the management pays some attention to keeping the property clean for their guests

this is terrible experience in this hotel.

Hotel and their rooms smells like staying in a hospital

I stayed in this hotel for last 3 days .Cleanliness is terrible ,it’s equipped with centralized AC and it’s not working properly and it took lot of time to cool room and AC water is leaking all over the floor. Staff is not so supportive and not recommend even though if get a deal .Food is also not at all good ....

The staff were helpful, and location was convenient

Our stay was okay, could be fantastic though. We requested twin beds as colleagues were sharing rooms, never got any despite putting the request well ahead. The staff kept apologizing that limited number of twin room were distributed on first come first served basis and as we were late, no rooms are available. It was pretty uncomfortable to share a bed with a colleague. Another huge area of improvement is the bathroom. They don't have shower enclosure/curtain, nor can you lock from inside. Again, huge inconvenience if you are sharing a room with a colleague. The room we stayed in, didn't have a good water drainage as well. The whole bathroom got flooded after one person has taken a shower, uncomfortable for the other user. Apart from these two, the stay was fine. Breakfast was good. It was pretty close from the Hyderabad International Convention Center which was our conference venue. Ride sharing services are available. Many restaurants nearby. A bit far from the old city though.

Siesta provided a convenient place for me and 5 colleagues to stay while attending a conference at the nearby Novotel HICC. The hotel staff were friendly and attentive and overall it provided good value. It’s by no means the swankiest hotel in hitech but it does the job!

Too expensive compared to the standard they offer. Toilet flush not working, hardly any space in the room, no hair dryer and iron, no refridgerator, paid for king sized bed but gave twin bed, you can't even take off the curtains as there is a cheap apartment right next to your window and you can see their household stuffs. How can this be a 4 star hotel claiming to be of same price (room, food etc.) Of hotels like Lemon tree premier.

The staff at Siesta Hitech was friendly, helpful and quick to respond to any request. The hotel is conveniently located, but it's not the cleanest room I have ever checked into. Buffet was average but food ordered from the kitchen was always good.

It is nicely maintained. Good place to stay fit business

I booked for stay with breakfast. On arriving I was told the breakfast is not free. All my efforts to contact Hotels.com was all in vein . I had pay extra for the breakfast. I’m seriously dissatisfied by this Hotels.com. Zero stars for you. I will not book hotels through this app any more.

Very good in all aspects.

It is an easy walk to Hyderabad Convention Center and is close to many business locations. The road on which the hotel is located is a bit crowded, but that is a common characteristic in India. On the plus side, there are many mid budget eateries within a short walk. The hotel is decent, clean. Rooms are not big, but are certainly enough for a single traveller like me. The work desk is very useful. Closet, safe deposit, refrigerator are helpful. Internet speed was good. Bathroom is quite nice.

The staff was courteous and helpful. But the hotel needs better maintenance. Issues with kettle, flush and dryer in the span of a 4 night stay. Fixed later but very annoying when you need it

Upon check-in, I was given a room with two single beds when I had booked a king bed. I did not know this until I went to the room. When I returned to the front desk I was told there are no rooms with king beds. I don't know how that could be since I clearly booked a room with a king bed. I escalated the matter to the hotel manager and... wait for it... there was a room with a king bed. When going for breakfast in the morning I was told I had to pay for breakfast. I explained that breakfast was included in the room. I was sent to the front desk and they said that breakfast was not included. Again I escalated the problem to the manager. He blamed Expedia for not sending a voucher that included breakfast. I showed him the Expedia website which clearly states that ALL rooms come with FREE Breakfast. He told me I had to take up the issue with Expedia. When I retuned for the second night they told me they needed a copy of my visa. I reminded them that they had taken a copy the night before. They insisted, and brought out the manager. I showed them my visa and they said it was not an Indian visa! I said then how can I be here without a visa in my passport! They have advertisements all over the hotel for the Continental Restaurant and Sports bar on the 6th floor. When I went to the 6th floor it was a vacant open dark area with no restaurant or bar. They said they had not received their liquor license yet. Overall I would say this is not even close to a 4 star hotel. STAY ELSEWHERE!

This place is not even wroth trying! The service is terrible!

I reached earlier but did not have to pay any extra charge. The staff was very professional. Hotel is nearby major markets and few minutes

I can’t believe how awful this hotel was — I truly don’t understand how it could be rated so highly. Perhaps things would be different if the hotel had been significantly cheaper, but it was not a bargain. For context, I’m from the US, and I was in Hyderabad for a conference. Here are my notes: - The stench of sewage throughout the place, especially the hallways, was unbearable. It will often creep into your room as well. - Electricity regularly cut in and out. - If you’re not an Indian speaker, you'll have a hard time. Staff couldn’t understand or accommodate basic hospitality requests, like in-room dining orders, and requests for a taxi. - The hotel staffer took me to my room to show me how everything works. Apparently this is custom there, but I was terribly uncomfortable when he started asking me if I had a husband and if I was alone. Why is that any of his business? - The room was well worn, towels were rough and discolored, comforter/sheets were stained. - I tried to order in-room dining, and asked what something on the menu was — they passed me to three different staff members, and said the item wasn’t available until noon even though it was specifically on the “Round the clock” menu. - The “do not disturb” notification didn’t work, so they constantly interrupted me. - They will ring your doorbell for nonsense you don’t want, like laundry services or dropping off a robe. - Water in the bathroom gets everywhere. - I didn’t feel safe; a guest rang my doo
