5 starsWe wanted to Falaknuma Palace, but as it is not open for public we took the tour package from Telangana tourism. The tour included not only Falaknuma trip...we were taken to other places as well. We had an amazing time having tea and snacks at Falaknuma. As far as Falaknuma timings are concerned, I am not sure...we just followed the tour plan. in any case the experience was memorable! The palace is just BEAUTIFUL...it felt quite royal to eat there!

5 starsyou can see how luxuriously Nizams have lived...gardens, furniture, status, paintings..everything...for a second I felt i am living the same life! its now a star hotel of Taj, so you can be sure to have excellent services. to visit here there is no fixed Falaknuma timings as it's not public place anymore..which is kind of sad..but to you stay here its all worth...the experience was more than amazing! and also there are some tours which let visitors have some time inside the palace...

3 starsThis palace is just too good for spending some days here...the beauty is so captivating, like an architectural masterpiece. I have seen many palaces and forts but Falaknuma surpasses many other. may be because it is well maintained..that's why still looks so fresh..but yet the only set back is its very expensive. so plan properly before coming here..may be once in year. If you are planning your visit here..forget about falaknuma palace entry fee or anything..but decide on a stay here..although expensive it's worth afterall.

We were told that there are more than 200 huge rooms inside it and about 22 halls.. this palace is majestic! we actually wanted to just go to see..but while searching for timings for Falaknuma palace visiting hours and entry fee we got to know that it now a star hotel..so we decided to have two day of stay..stay here was just perfect..the service,..rooms..interiors ..we might just go there again!

5 starsFalaknuma Palace is quite near to Charminar. so we planned our trip that way, we went through Telangana tourism tours...but later we hopped out separately and went to Charminar & laad bazaar. The day was well spent! As such with tour you need not pay additional Falaknuma palace entry fee as everything in included in the tour package. it was better as we didn’t have to do anything..they did every arrangement. But ya we wanted some more time at the palace which we couldn’t get! there is so much to see at Falaknuma palace!
