Bikaner Hotels

This hotel was formerly a palace and therefore staying in such a place is an experience in itself. I had read a few of the reviews on tripadvisor and was a little apprehensive about how our stay would turn out. However everything turned out great. On arrival the receptionist at the front desk was very courteous and efficient. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. Our room was good considering the price we paid. The bathroom was huge and very clean. The only fault that I can find with the room was the heating which was completely insufficient for such a massive room thus making the room extremely cold and damp. The food was very ordinary and they should do something about that. But in spite of this dinner in the courtyard is an absolute must. It's a wonderful experience and the evening entertainment with the music and dance was just fabulous. The woman who performed the traditional dances was unbelievable and the whole experience was wonderful. This hotel has a lot of heritage to offer and its great to get lost in the corridors and discover the palace. We visited the bar, the billiards room, conference room and it's nice to soak up all the history and architecture. Like many have mentioned this hotel is slightly worn down and a renovation would be nice but I think the faded grandeur also adds to its charm. The grounds around the hotel is beautiful and we spent both of our evenings in the lawns (with peacocks!). Overall a good experience !

The hotel is a little bit far from the center. Two other customers complained the food and were so upset, that they didn't pay.

nice rooms, and pleasant atmosphere in hotel

a once beautiful hotel that has not be kept up...but it is still is a nice, clean hotel. Some rooms better than others.

it was worth the money,staff was available to any request.

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
