After staying in the same city for more than twenty years, it can be challenging to look at it from a tourist’s perspective. You know the chaat waala at every galli, you know the best street shops for a shopping spree, you know which theater offers buttered popcorn and which doesn’t, you have your favorite coffee haunts and you know the exact time to start to beat the peak traffic and reach your destination on time. It’s basically home no matter what. When a friend who was visiting for a weekend, asked me for a list of places to stay in Hyderabad, at first I was stumped. And then I realized there were some really good themed hotels if you were looking for a quick weekend stay.  After a lot of research, careful scrutiny and talking to many who have stayed in these places, I bring you this list of best budget hotels in Hyderabad. So the next time you are in the city and looking for a place to stay or if you are living in this city but decide to take a mini-vacation within the city itself, this list is your friend!Bikanervala Boutique hotels 

Located in the prime area of the city, you have easy access to everything you need – restaurants, malls, parks and even the airport! But the USP of this Boutique hotel would definitely be the delicious food. It is a paradise for vegetarians and the options are simply endless. It’s the best place for authentic Rajasthani/Gujarati dishes and chaat.

The Lime Boutique Suites

With 30 boutique rooms, conference rooms and a global vegetarian restaurant, this brightly done place is bound to put you in a cheerful mood instantly – whether you are here on a personal holiday or a business trip. The cafeteria style restaurant seating and the bright lights make a pretty picture!

Concord Comfort – Upper Crest

This is actually a mix of hotel + service apartment, again in the heart of the city, but very budget friendly. Concord Comfort offer their service apartment services in a total of five different locations within the city – all with lovely decor, home cooked food and incredibly kind staff.
