Struggling through the little alleys and lively chaos of the neighborhood we arrived at this amazing place. Looks like a little palace and decorated beautifully. We had a huge room with our own hallway leading up to the bathroom. My parents also had a wonderful room. Sitting in the courtyard, with the fountain and music playing the background feels so...

I stayed at Bhanwar Niwas 5 years ago, and returned recently. It's been refurbished since then - it was always stylish, and quirky, now it's even better (though I miss the vintage car that used to be in the lobby!). The dining room has been redecorated and, contrary to others experiences, we found the food very good and the service... More

Could be an excellent hotel but they need to lift their game. Also serving some continental food would be great, by the time most people have reached Bikaner they are really looking for some variety and I think if you are spending $200+ a night then it’s not unreasonable to expect this. Pros: lovely big heritage building, huge room, nicely... More

We stayed here for one night in the last week of july2011. Finding the hotel took some time, and we thought its going to be a disaster. We were completely wrong and taken aback when we entered the hotel (possibly due to initial apprehension due to location). The staff were nice and the room was extremely spacious and very...

We stayed two nights at Bikaner.The hotel was fabulous,huge room, lovely courtyard and decor.Every thing was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.The location however was not so good ,in an older part of the city(which is usually ok) but here it was nowhere near a market or restraunt area.We ate at the hotel which was a set...

Approaching the hotel you wonder what on earth you have done booking this hotel. The narrow streets you travel in your car to get here, far too small for a coach for example, are somewhat dirty and definitely in a more run down part of the town. The reception is similarly not very encouraging although the classic vintage car in... More

The location of the hotel is dreadful, and basically one reaches the property one is not going to leave. Not a chance of “wandering around” to discover little restaurants, cafes, etc. Not a chance.....! The interior of the hotel is, however, an absolute marvel. A palace, with the most beautiful sandstone carvings, a wonderful ground floor courtyard, and the rooms... More

We stayed here for one night in the last week of December 2010. Finding the hotel took some time, and we thought its going to be a disaster. We were completely wrong and taken aback when we entered the hotel (possibly due to initial apprehension due to location). The staff were nice and the room was extremely spacious and very... More

It's as if this palace is reluctantly agreeing to allow guests. The room was stupefyingly hot when I arrived in the early morning, even though I'd paid for the previous night and they were informed of my arrival time. The provided toiletries were exactly what I found only in one and two-star hotels. The "napkins" at breakfast were the actual... More
