Very Happy Stay

Staff all tried to please and layout of bar in Court Yard where the dancing took place was exceptional. High light was ride in Solar Boat. This is the world's first Solar Powered Water Taxi built on the insriration of Shriji Arvind Mewar which by his example led to thousands of Solar Powered Boats all around the world. The Hotel has maintained this piece of history with great pride and are to be congratulated.

Good Stay

It was a really good experience. The hotel in itself is really good. The only drawback is the distance (30 km from Bikaner). Awesome stay if one intends to stay in the hotel and just go around hotel

Beautiful property to enjoy a quiet stay

Although located a little far from the city, the palace was in very serene, very green beautiful surroundings. It was beautiful, and very clean, and well maintained. The staff were very courteous and helpful. The food was delicious. Our room had a great view of the lake. Daily Rajasthani folk music and dance near a bonfire in the central courtyard was very enjoyable. I would definitely stay there again!

Wonderful setting - blackbuck, wild boar etc

The main selling point of this hotel is the wonderful building, setting and 6,000 acre nature reserve attached to it. However, the presence of so many birds also means that there is a lot of bird mess around which makes it difficult to keep really clean. The staff do a good job but I felt the terrace in particular could be made more inviting with more attention to detail and more cleaning of the tables, umbrellas, chairs etc. The rooms are very comfortable and well-equipped, with a good level of service.

wonderful old style hotel

the hotel and the setting are amazingly beautiful, full of atmosphere and elegance, the fact that the place it's a little delabré since the times it was the Maharaja hunting lodge adds to its charm and I would recommend a visit before it will be turned into another 5 star luxury resort without soul. All the staff was excellent, the massage very good, a no frills experience but with a very competent masseur. The restaurant beautiful and the food good. Lovely place for nature lovers, even in dry season the lake is full of water and wildlife. I would recommend staying for more than a day. Bikaner is only 30km away
