Hyderabad's Hidden Gem: FabHotel Relax Roof - Unbelievable Views & Relaxation!
FabHotel Relax Roof: My Hyderabad Hideaway (Or, How I Found My Zen…and Then Lost It Briefly)
Okay, listen up, fellow weary travelers! Forget the flashy hotels, the cookie-cutter experiences. I'm here to tell you about a REAL hidden gem in Hyderabad: FabHotel Relax Roof. And trust me, the name isn't just marketing fluff. It’s a promise. A promise it mostly, wonderfully, delivers on.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, But Improving!
Right, let's be real for a second. Accessibility is a huge deal, and I'm not just saying that to be PC. I noticed they're working on it. The elevator is a definite plus, and the ramp access to the lobby is good – though I did hear some folks grumbling about the slope being a tad steep. They have a decent selection of facilities for disabled guests, but more could always be done. I’d check beforehand if you need really specific accommodations. Overall, they're making an effort, which is more than I can say for some places!
The Internet: The Eternal Struggle (But Mostly Victorious!)
Let's face it, a good Wi-Fi connection is ESSENTIAL these days. FabHotel Relax Roof understands this. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Woohoo! And I mean, it actually worked. Mostly. I'm not gonna lie, there were a couple of moments where my Insta-addiction suffered a minor hiccup. A quick reboot of my phone fixed it, though. They also had LAN access. Who even uses that anymore? But hey, it's there!
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Safe (Mostly!)
This is where FabHotel Relax Roof truly shines. Seriously, the place felt clean. Really clean. I’m a bit of a germaphobe, so that’s saying something. They've got all the fixings, including anti-viral cleaning products, and they’re absolutely committed to hygiene certification. Rooms sanitized between stays? Check. Hand sanitizer everywhere? Double check. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Triple check! I saw staff meticulously disinfecting common areas daily. The staff are also trained in safety protocols, which is reassuring. I still carry my own wipes, because… well, you know.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Relaxation (And Maybe a Few Calories!)
Okay, let's talk food. They have restaurants, plural. Okay, maybe one, but it's got options! They offered a Breakfast [buffet] and the Asian breakfast was pretty tasty, though I'm not sure if they were supposed to include the chicken curry. The food was generally quite good (Western cuisine too, thankfully), with the Soup in restaurant being especially welcome after a long day of exploring. There was a Coffee/tea in restaurant, a Snack bar, and a Poolside bar - which, yes, is as good as it sounds. You can get a bottle of water and it came with a side of "Ahhh" of relief. If you're feeling lazy, 24-hour room service is your friend, and they were really nice. I'd rate the food an 8/10, solid!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: The Roof is the Star!
This is where FabHotel Relax Roof truly earns its stripes. That ROOF! The Pool with view is stunning. Honestly, even the pictures don't do it justice. Laying in the sun, overlooking the city…pure bliss. They have a Sauna, a Spa/sauna, and a Steamroom, as well as a Fitness center to work off all those delicious meals. I spent hours just relaxing. I even tried a body scrub. The most relaxing thing I've done in ages. I could have stayed there all day. I wish I had stayed there all day, actually, instead of trying to squeeze in a little bit of sightseeing…
Services and Conveniences: Making Life Easy (and Maybe a Little Luxurious)
From the Concierge who helped me with directions, to the Daily housekeeping, FabHotel Relax Roof understands the little things that make a big difference. The Laundry service was a lifesaver after a particularly dusty trek. The Cash withdrawal facility made it easy to access cash. There's a Convenience store for those last-minute essentials. I was very impressed with the Contactless check-in/out - saving on my stress levels instantly! They even have a Doctor/nurse on call, which is a great bonus if you're traveling from afar.
For the Kids:
From what I could tell, it's a family-friendly place too. They had a Babysitting service, and I saw kids splashing in the pool.
Available in all Rooms: The Little Luxuries
Okay, now to the in-room experience. Air conditioning is a given in Hyderabad, and it worked like a charm. Free bottled water was a welcome touch. They also provided bathrobes, slippers, toiletries, and a hair dryer. The seating area was perfect for chilling out. And the Wi-Fi [free] (again!) was a godsend. The blackout curtains were incredibly effective in the rooms. It was all super comfortable - and relaxing. I was able to set up my laptop for the laptop workspace.
My "Almost Perfect" Moment…And a Minor Meltdown
Here's the thing. I had this perfect moment. I was on the rooftop, the sun was setting, the pool was sparkling, and I was sipping a cocktail from the poolside bar. Total serenity, right? Then, I went to order dinner, and they were out of my favorite dish. Yes, I know, first-world problems. I almost threw a mini-tantrum. But then, I took a deep breath and ordered something else. It was delicious. The view was still magnificent. And that’s what I love about this place. It's not pretending to be perfect, but it mostly, wonderfully, nails it.
Getting Around: Easy Peasy
They offer an Airport transfer, and have Car park [free of charge]. They also have a Taxi service.
My Verdict: Book It! (But Manage Your Expectations)
FabHotel Relax Roof is a fantastic find. It’s a place where you can truly escape the hustle and bustle of the city. It won't come with everything, but the emphasis on cleanliness, the stunning views, the relaxing atmosphere, and the overall quality of service make it a winner in my book. Just remember those things I mentioned about expectations, and you'll have a blissful stay. Do it. Book it. RELAX!

Escape to Paradise: Ataraxia 2B1R Condo in Forest City, Johor Bahru!
Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't your average, perfectly polished travel itinerary. This is my Hyderabad experience, warts and all, from the cramped FabHotel Relax Roof (which, by the way, is nowhere NEAR as relaxing as the name suggests) – and trust me, there were plenty of warts.
FabHotel Relax Roof Hyderabad – Operation: Survive the Heat (and Maybe See Some Sights)
(Day 1: Arrival & Initial Panic – AKA "Where's My Luggage?!")
- 7:00 AM: Arrive at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. Already sweating bullets. The air practically SHIMMERS with heat. Grab a pre-paid taxi. Driver looks vaguely like a bewildered pigeon. Hope he knows where he's going.
- 8:00 AM: Arrive at FabHotel Relax Roof. Or, as I'd later christen it, 'The Roof of Existential Dread'. The lobby is…basic. Smells faintly of incense and desperation. Check in. Turns out my room is on the fourth floor (no elevator, naturally. My legs are already screaming).
- 8:30 AM: Room inspection. Initial impressions: "Small, but clean-ish." Then I spot a rogue cockroach scuttling under the bed. Cue a brief, silent breakdown. Breathe. It's India. They probably come with the territory.
- 9:00 AM: Discover that my luggage didn't. The airline apparently decided it was having a vacation in Dubai. Cue a full-blown, hangry meltdown at the front desk. The poor, beleaguered receptionist looks like he's seen it all before. Which he probably has.
- 9:30 AM: Finally, I decide to just… give in and go out. The air is literally thick. Like, you could chew it.
First Adventure: The Charminar (and the Battle Against the Crowds)
- 10:30 AM: Take an Uber (THANK GOD for Uber). Arrive at Charminar. Okay, wow. It's impressive. Seriously. The architecture is stunning, the colors vibrant. But the crowds…oh, the crowds. It's a seething mass of humanity. I’m getting jostled, bumped, and occasionally wafted by the scent of something I really don’t want to identify.
- 11:00 AM: Trying to take a decent photo. Impossible. Getting bumped again. The vendor's selling trinkets are relentless. And the heat…the heat is relentless. I swear, I'm melting.
- 11:30 AM: Take a detour to a small, local chai stall. It's dirty, but the chai is incredible. Spicy, sweet, and a momentary escape from the chaos. I'm officially an addict.
- 12:00 PM: Attempt to climb Charminar. Realize, five steps up, I have a mild form of asthma. Decide to quit.
- 12:15 PM: Find shade under a dilapidated awning. Observe the world. The sheer energy, the noise, the movement…it’s overwhelming. But secretly, I find myself kind of loving it.
- 12:45 PM: Lunch at a nearby restaurant. (I can’t remember to name, it was just a random thing, so I choose a restaurant). The food is amazing, bursting with flavour. I order too much and stuff myself.
- 1:30 PM: Stumble back to FabHotel. I'm utterly exhausted.
The Afternoon Debacle: Paradise Restaurant and My Quest for Biryani
- 2:30 PM: I take a shower at the hotel. The water is slightly brown, and the pressure is abysmal. But I am clean, and that's all that matters.
- 3:00 PM: I decide to be brave and go to Paradise Restaurant. The legendary biryani awaits. Getting there involves another Uber ride through what I'm starting to suspect is organized chaos of traffic.
- 3:30 PM: At Paradise Restaurant. It's HUGE. Crowded. Bustling. The aroma of biryani is a siren's song. Find a table after some aggressive table-hogging from some other tourist.
- 4:00 PM: The biryani arrives. It's glorious. Tender meat, fluffy rice, perfectly spiced. I devour it. I regret nothing. Not the heat. Not the crowds. Not the inevitable food coma creeping in.
- 5:00 PM: The food coma hits. I try to walk, but I'm essentially waddling. The world is swimming.
- 5:30 PM: Back at the hotel I spend the next few hours in a haze of sleep and regret – not getting a bigger portion of biryani. And, of course, thinking about my missing luggage.
(Day 2: Exploring Beyond the Tourist Trail (and Almost Getting Lost)
- 9:00 AM: Wake up still stuffed from yesterday. Also, still no luggage.
- 10:00 AM: Decide to explore some of the less-touristy areas. I've got a list of places I found online that sounded interesting, but I haven't a clue where they actually are.
- 11:00 AM: Wander around some local neighbourhoods. Get completely and utterly lost (again).
- 12:00 PM: Find a local market. The colours, the smells… it’s sensory overload in the best possible way. Buy some spices I almost certainly won’t use.
- 1:00 PM: Find a backstreet cafe and try the local street food. I barely understand what I order. It’s spicy, delicious, and I have no idea what I just ate. But I would do it again.
- 1:30 PM: While exploring a local masjid I decided to take off my shoes. When I try to find them, I can't. Cue a brief, silent breakdown (Part 2).
- 2:30 PM: Find my shoes after a lot of asking around. They're in the middle of a bunch of other shoes.
- 3:00 PM: Still lost. Walk around, the same place, several times.
- 4:00 PM: Uber back to the hotel. Exhausted and hungry.
(Day 3: The Last-Minute Rescue (and Departure)
- 9:00 AM: HOLY MOLY. My luggage arrives! Cheers erupt from my room.
- 10:00 AM: Do my last minute shopping.
- 1:00 PM: Last meal. Find some amazing South Indian food. Get a takeaway.
- 3:00 PM: Pack. This is where I realize I am now an expert packer!
- 5:00 PM: Head to the airport for the start of the next adventure!
- 6:00 PM: Plane leaves.
Final Thoughts:
Hyderabad wasn't easy. It was hot, chaotic, and sometimes, frankly, overwhelming. But it was also beautiful, vibrant, and full of life. And the food? The food was worth every single moment of the madness. Would I go back? Absolutely. But next time, I'm bringing earplugs, a better map AND some anti-diarrheal medication.
