I agree with the previous reviewers - the Orchard Palace is a lovely retreat from the heat and dust of India, in lovely surroundings. The rooms are massive, with bedrooms and dressing rooms to match. But the biggest plus that the Orchard Palace has is Ravi. He is utterly charming, dedicated and talented in making you feel totally at home.... More

Hotel is the dependance of the palace of Maharaja, inserted in a beautiful garden, with few huge rooms well appointed and maintained, good cleaning. Poor the shower with lukewarm water. Dinner and breakfast very good, served in a superb dining room, with excelent service, and delicate food. No connection internet More

There are 2 sister hotels in Gondal, the Orchard Palace and the Riverside - both palaces which have been converted to hotels. Beautiful, clean, polite and friendly staff and great food. We were at the Riverside for New Years Eve and they did all they could to make it as special as possible with a dinner party and outdoor bonfires... More

A royal guesthouse, the reception is conducted at a large marble inlay table on a wide verandah, just outside an attractively decorated lounge. A small hotel (10-12 rooms), there is a guest lounge on the 1st floor too. The guesthouse still operates to accommodate royal guests; there were a few staying at the guesthouse when we were there, making for... More

This hotel is amazing. It is palace set in beautiful grounds in the middle of Gondal. Our room, on the first floor next to the stairs, was absolutely gorgeous. There was three of us (all friends) sharing a room, we each had our own bed (a lot of rooms make two share in a double which is never our preference),... More

....it is such a beautiful building and so centrally located. Staying here means sharing the Royal Family's past and present as the hotel is scattered with family heir looms and memorabilia. The sitting area is like a royal sitting with the King.......cusions and bolsters. The rooms are huge [ depending on how lucky you are as half of them are... More

At first we were very hesitant about spending this amount of money at a hotel in Gondal (since Gondal has not that much to offer), but after all, it was a good decision to stay here. Enormous rooms, tastefully decorated. Nice pictures and paintings, colourful curtains and comfy sofas. Comfortable beds, as well as a huge bathroom with granite everywhere.... More

I stayed for 2 nights in Room #4, which was huge - very large bed/sitting room, big dressing room and a very large bathroom. It was clean, comfortable and opened onto the terrace. Our meals were delicious, and the service very good. We enjoyed the charmingly decorated public rooms, the car collection, and the lovely grounds. Beware that you don't... More

We stopped here for our lunch on our way from Junagadh to Rajkot. Our driver callled his contact there who quoted Rs. 400 per person for lunch. We balked at that price for a relatively simple meal and were told that it would also include the charge of seeing the collection of antique cars and saloon car of the former... More
