Reviews and Ratings
Despite some issues with the rooms and ongoing renovations, the hotel has a perfect location within the City Palace offering stunning views. The service was a mix of excellent presentation skills and attentive staff but lacked an overall atmosphere. Dining was enjoyable in the courtyard by the pool. The facilities were limited but the location made up for it.
The hotel offers traditional and lovely rooms, but some safety standards for maintenance work were lacking. The service was exemplary, especially from a courteous and professional manager. The location inside the palace complex is unbeatable for exploring Udaipur's old city, although some aspects were lacking. The dining experience is quite expensive but of good quality. The facilities are modern and well-maintained.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, while traditional and lovely, felt a bit outdated and in need of refurbishment. However, the balcony offered stunning views of Pichola Lake, the Lake Palace, and the surrounding hills. The service was friendly and helpful, with a charming candle setup on our private terrace for dinner, although some understanding of property issues could be improved. The location inside the City Palace Complex was prime, but there were issues with certain amenities and services not working as expected. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with the lovely courtyard setting by the pool. Overall, it was a stay with highs and lows.
Staying at this hotel was an unforgettable experience. The rooms, especially room no 15, offered stunning views over the lake, making it worth every penny for the royal treatment received. The service, from connecting us with a doctor swiftly to the attentiveness of the managers and staff, was exceptional. The location is unbeatable, right next to the Palace and lake, providing easy access to key attractions. While the dining experience had some room for improvement, the overall experience was truly magical.
I was immediately transported to a magical era by the exceptional room decor featuring a huge chandelier and a central fountain, creating a lavish and royal ambiance. However, the lack of views from the room could be slightly disappointing.
The hotel is set in a beautiful and quiet location, overlooking the stunning Lake Pichola. The service was exceptional, connecting us with a doctor promptly when needed. The dining experience by the pool was amazing with a variety of delicious options. On the downside, the rooms were small and not as grand as expected, and some meat and fish dishes were limited in the menu.
The hotel offers a unique location with glimpses of sunrise and mountain range sunsets, but the room condition is disappointing with peeling paint and worn curtains.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though offering a great view, didn't quite live up to the high cost. They could have been better appointed with amenities. On the bright side, the service was outstanding, with staff who anticipated all our needs and provided an incredible experience. The location was beautiful and quiet, offering a welcome rest from the heat and the sightseeing, although some aspects seemed useless, possibly due to a festival. The dining experience was quite good with a variety of options, but on the pricey side. Overall, it's worth noting the excellent service and beautiful location, despite the room's shortcomings and some pricey dining choices.
