The hotel has a lot a character. The rooms are large and the décor is interesting! Staff are very helpful and the roof top restaurant is a good place to eat. Free pick up from the train station. !00 % recommended. more

First the positives- although we arrived early morning at 0500hrs the room was ready for us although they had not committed to keeping the room in our email correspondence. The hotel is not in city centre and is in a quiet residential area. The downside is that you have to pay 40-50Rs by auto if you want to have a... more

Looking forward to staying here after seeing the website and the reviews. Collected at the train station as part of the price, and given a nice room on the second floor. But within half an hour of being in the room the banging started and the walls were shaking! We noticed the large building site next door when we arrived,... more

Umaid Bhawan is a beautiful hotel. It's got a great pool, balconies and outdoor seating areas. The restaurant is on the roof and is perfect for catching a cool breeze. Highly recommend eating the Indian breakfast and a Thali for dinner there. They don't serve/sell beer/alcohol, but they will allow you to BYO and will put in the fridge for... more

We stayed at this hotel about 3 years ago and although the place had a lot of character (with lots of antiques and paintings) and rooms fairly clean, comfortable and well-decorated, the bathrooms were in dire need of completion or updating - it seemed that work in our bathroom had been left half-way. We didnt particularly think that the staff... more

We arrived on a night train from Jaisalmer and had booked a pick-up. No one turned up and since it was so early in the morning there was no one that really spoke English answering the hotel phone. Was all very frustrating and in the end got a rickshaw, which i wasn't too happy about given it was cold and... more

I just loved this hotel. Having stayed in some highly mediocre 3* places in India, this was a real treat. I loved the antique decor, the painted ceilings, the Royal Suite room, the cleanliness, and gorgeous little nooks and crannies around the building, and the pool. The rooftop restaurant is lovely at both breakfast and dinner. The pool was pleasant... more

Beautiful hotel in a good location. Service was excellent. Bathrooms ARE Western Style ... but be aware that the hot water comes from a Geyser and you will only get 4 gallons at a time. This is a challenge for you girls with long hair to wash. Would still highly recommend this hotel for its beauty, service, charm and comfort. more

Stayed in the Umaid Bhawan for three nights, the hotel and room was excellent, very clean and very friendly staff.We stayed in a royal suite,which we found to be very comfortable,and good value for the price paid. The hotel is a little out of the hustle and bustle of the city,but within easy reach by autorickshaw which can be hired... more
