ARK FARM HOUSE
A farm stay, going by its name, with no address to be found and a 7 out of 10 guest score
About this hotel
Three stations on the Secunderabad to Kazipet line could serve this farmhouse. Bibinagar (code BN), 31 km from Secunderabad Junction by rail, is the stop for AIIMS Bibinagar and the starting point of a MEMU service to Falaknuma. Pagidipalli is the junction where the line to Nadikudi and Guntur branches off. Bhongir is the furthest of the three from Hyderabad.
No published location turned up in our search; the three stations are separate stops on the same line, and none can be confirmed as the nearest. What is certain is the guest score, 7 out of 10 from 64 reviews, below the 9.6 of Mizzu Farm House, a farm stay near Edulabad Lake that publishes its landmarks.
- Guest score of 7 out of 10 from 64 reviews
- A farm stay, going by its name
- No official website or published address found
- Bibinagar, Pagidipalli and Bhongir stations all on the Secunderabad to Kazipet line
Our take
No official website or published address for ARK Farm House turned up in our search, which is the first thing a rail traveller should weigh. Its 7 out of 10 from 64 guests is a middling score, and no official source says which station is closest or what the rooms include. I would only book it with a car, after getting the exact map pin from the host, and never for a dawn train out of Bibinagar, Pagidipalli or Bhongir. Travellers who want certainty on location and facilities have better-documented farm stays, such as Mizzu Farm House near Edulabad Lake, rated 9.6.
- Ask the host for a map pin before you pay: with no address to be found, a cab from Bibinagar, Pagidipalli or Bhongir station needs exact coordinates.
- Book the train only once the host names the nearest station: Bibinagar, Pagidipalli and Bhongir are separate stops on the Secunderabad to Kazipet line.
- If your trip is for AIIMS Bibinagar, ask the host for the road distance to the hospital before booking: Bibinagar is the station that serves it.
- Compare before you commit: Mizzu Farm House, near Edulabad Lake, scores 9.6 against 7 for ARK.
Why we love it
- Pagidipalli, one of the possible stations, is where the line to Nadikudi and Guntur leaves the Kazipet line
- A MEMU train runs from Bibinagar to Falaknuma, in the south of Hyderabad
- Bibinagar, one of the three possible stations, is the stop for AIIMS Bibinagar
Why guests love itI cannot recommend ARK Farm House to families with confidence, and the reason is information, not proven quality. No official website, published address or facilities list from the owners turned up in our search, so details that matter with children, such as a pool, the number of bedrooms or how the kitchen works, are unknown. The guest score of 7 out of 10 over 64 reviews is lower than the 9.6 of Mizzu Farm House. A family that already knows the place, or has the host's exact location and a car, may be fine. A family arriving by train at Bibinagar, Pagidipalli or Bhongir with luggage and small children should choose a stay whose location is confirmed.
