Comfort Inn Woodbridge, Hyderabad

Advantages: exudes a rich heritage culture, yet is modern! (aka Hi-tech city -due to software programmers) best IT recruitment, food, pleasant evenings outdoors, shopping, people!
Disadvantages: getting there..? maybe dusty for some, not the usual touristy place..?

...Hyderabad Deccan is found in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India, it is a city that still exudes charm, which is reminiscent of a bygone era with its rich heritage and culture. Today, it is a mixture of modern influences with memories of the trappings and sophistication of the Nizams (Royalty) that ruled that part of India. It is also the city I originate from and have grown extremely fond of over the last few years as I discover more and more about its history and culture. Each time I visit the place; the speed of rapid development, modernisation and technology never ceases to amaze me! I hope to be able to provide you with an insiders view to Hyderabad both from a tourist’s point of view and from years of living and visiting the place. A key to understanding “Hyderabadi” culture and heritage lies in its rich history... Read review

Advantages: Big, friendly, exotic, friendly, cheap, friendly.
Disadvantages: Pollution and sense distortingly weird traffic

...did get to visit a few of the ‘must see’ sights, and perhaps a few that are less commonly found by the visitor. Here then is the Sleevie Guide to What to See in Hyderabad (and a brief guide on What to Buy in Hyderabad, as a special Sleevie Bonus). Golconda Fort: Pivotal to the history of Hyderabad, this hilltop fort and its fortifications are stunning. The top of the fort is the highest point for many miles around, and the views are enough to have you reaching for your camera every few seconds. Visit it, but be warned – wear comfortable shoes, and be prepared for a lot of steps! A word about the history of Golconda: The fort dates back at least to the 14th century, and was already a fortification when Sultan Quli Qutub Shah, a Turkoman adventurer from Persia made it his capital. The dynasty survived through to the fourth generation... Read review

Advantages: Great food and can combine dining with a ticket for the cinema
Disadvantages: Can get quite crowded

...I quite enjoy going to different places to eat and the Riverside restaurant in Woodbridge is certainly different. It is part of a little complex that includes the Riverside Theatre (a small local cinema) so you can, if you wish, combine your meal with a ticket to watch the latest film. I recently went there with a local dining group and our party were just booked in for a meal without the cinema option. There is ample car parking nearby as the Restaurant adjoins the local railway station with its car park which is generally little used in the evenings. The only time it is tricky to park is if the cinema is showing a very popular film which has attracted a large viewing audience. On the night we were the cinema was showing Spiderman 3 so the car park was busy but it was still possible to find spaces. Woodbridge is a lovely town... Read review
