I spent 2 nights in Sept. at this lovely hotel that has so much class. The decor is excellent art from India & the breakfast that is included makes you feel like a king sitting on the floor amongst the pillows with beautiful artifacts around you. The rooms are also lovely & first class. I felt like a quieen!! More

After reading all the previous reviews of this hotel i was a bit worried about staying there on the night of September 17th. However, i was pleasantly surprised, the room we were staying in "Rina" was lovely, and above all, clean! The breakfast however was very basic and when we arrived for breakfast 30mins before closing, there wasn't much pastries... More

The raj hotel was a very pleasant experience. The rooms have a old authentic Victorian look which makes them very romantic and warm. Staff are very accommodating and polite. It based about 15 mins from city centre so very easy to get to the middle of town with plenty buses every 6 minutes David graham www.cityfairtrades.com More

We arrived early and understandably left our bags at reception and went about our day. We arrived back at midnight and were shown to our room by the night porter. When the door was opened the sheets were half off the bed and it was clear the bed had been slept in. We raised this with the night porter but... More

I was pleased with my choice. Great value and unique in its styling. Possibly not everyone's 'cup of tea' but I liked it. The staff were friendly & helpful More

Having stayed before we were expecting simple clean elegance. What we got instead was a dirty, run down hotel. Dirty sheets, mouldy shower curtains and discarded food in the room. The dado rail in the bathroom had a thick covering of dust. No bath plug and the hot water tap for the bath came away in our hand. Whilst the... More

We booked this thinking it would be nice to stay in a themed and different hotel. What we found was a shabby old hostel where someone has out a few pictures of India on the walls. Hotel was overall dirty, rooms very basic and totally charmless (a cheap hostel came to mind). The bedding was torn and not very clean... More
