My stay at Minerva Grand Banjara had its ups and downs. The location was a major plus, with a quiet atmosphere and plenty of nearby eateries. However, the room features and overall service levels left a lot to be desired.

The location is okay, tucked away from the main road, but it's not very convenient for public transport, with the nearest metro station about 3 kms away.

Breakfast had a good variety, like south Indian and continental options, but I think if you're staying longer, the dining could feel repetitive.

I had a mixed experience at Minerva Grand Banjara. The location is conveniently near shopping areas, and the morning breakfast spread was pretty good with a variety of options. However, the room I stayed in lacked adequate space and there were some cleanliness issues like mosquitoes. Overall, it was a decent stay, but there are areas that need improvement.
Rooms

The room was on the smaller side and had issues with mosquitoes. There were no windows in my room, which was disappointing. However, the cleanliness was commendable as they maintained it well throughout my stay.

The hotel is situated in Banjara Hills, which is central and near shopping areas, but the entrance had a steep slope which made accessing the reception a bit challenging.

Breakfast was a highlight with good variety like idli and dosa, but lunch was a letdown as the food seemed overpriced and did not meet expectations on presentation.
Facilities

The facilities included conveniences like laundry and tour assistance, which were beneficial during my stay. However, they didn't stand out as really good.

I had a pleasant stay at Minerva Grand Banjara from August 12th to 14th. The staff were courteous and attentive, which made my experience enjoyable. The room was cozy but not very spacious, and the food was tasty with a nice variety for breakfast, including classic south and north Indian dishes. However, I felt the location could have been more accessible, and the bathroom could use some improvement in size.
Rooms

The hotel is tucked away in a residential area, which offers a quiet atmosphere. However, accessing it required navigating a less smooth entrance, and it's about 3 km from the nearest metro station.
Dining

The dining experience was enjoyable, with a great spread during breakfast. I loved the idli, dosa, and vada, which were delicious and freshly prepared. However, my first-day order of a veg grilled sandwich was not up to par.

I appreciated the various facilities available, such as laundry and ticket assistance, which made my stay more convenient. However, since I didn't need to use many amenities, I can't comment on all of them.

During my stay at Minerva Grand Banjara, I enjoyed the attentive service and decent food offerings. However, the lack of a window in my room was disappointing and made the ambiance feel less inviting. Overall, I had a satisfactory experience, but the absence of natural light definitely affected my stay.
Rooms

The room was decently sized and had a comfy queen bed, but it felt strange to find a brick wall behind the window. I was informed that most large rooms lack windows, which felt quite off.
