My friend and I stayed over night on our way to Jodphpur. The palace was absolutely stunning and the quarters we stayed in (because it was one room each and a sitting area and a wonderful cute balcony where one could sit!). The tour around the palace was wonderful aswell and one could imagine back oneself to the times where... More

This was a one night stop off on a tour of Rajasthan and a really pleasant surprise; the atmosphere in the hotel was very informal but we enjoyed this stay in a true castle very much. There are some fantastic areas to relax in although the place could do with some investment the crumbling nature just adds to the character.... More

We had a very pleasant stay for one night in this crumbling castle. The hotel is partially aboandoned which adds to the sense of being in a very strange but authentic ruin. However the room itself was clean and we slept very well. Exploring the castle as well as the strange town was a highllight of our Rajasthan explorations. The... More

The time for this property is over. I stayed there for 1 night with older kids and experience was horrible. The castle may look good, but starting from the food to the waiters the hygiene was very bad. The toilets were leaking and inadequate toilet rolls. The security at night is questionable. At bed is with out a quit even... More

I really enjoyed my stay here. We were greeted by an efficient man wearing a grey uniform and a maroon beret who turned out to be a very efficient organiser of all things.

If the prospect of staying in an elderly uncle’s quaintly tumbling-down mansion appeals to you, this place is a good bet. If you require turbo-charged German plumbing or Ikea freshness, look elsewhere. The asymmetric marble and sandstone castle was assembled over many centuries like the House that Jack Built. Every room offers an adventure of its own, but from what... More

Though its a historic castle dating to the 14th century and an actual royal family lives in it, the hosts make you feel at home. From the welcome to the room service to the food experience everything is so homely and affectionate about them.
