Hotel Harsha

Hyderabad


This dependable hotel has somewhat dated rooms but they’re big, clean and comfy; ask for one at the rear as street noise can be an issue. Nampally station is close, check-out is 24 hours and staff are accommodating. Venkey's Veg, the in-house restaurant, serves authentic local food.
