Amar Mahal must have been a beautiful, elegant, important location at Orcha. It must be said that the temples which sorround the property (Angkor Wat style structures) are impressive. I went jogging in the morning and it was surreal! The hotel itself has approximately 40 rooms, all spacious, marble floors and elaborate wooden furniture, that speak of a past glamorous... More

This hotel looks incredible when you arrive. Rooms however are quite simple, with beds raised high off the ground so not great if you are short or a child. We had a terrible problem with our toilet flushing and every time we used the toilet we had to call hotel staff to flush it properly (in two rooms so perhaps... More

this really was the jewel in our india trip - I stayed here with two friends for four nights and nothing was too much trouble - we were upgraded to a bigger room to accommodate our extra bed - the staff were always helpful, food in restaurant was excellent - great place to relax and also to explore orchha -...

We've spent one night here. The rooms are extremely big, airconditioned. Bed is comfortable and the bathroom has all one needs. The restaurant was surprisingly good, lots of variety. You can walk on the roof and enjoy a great view on the surrounding Shastri's. Do walk down to the river to enjoy the locals doing there washing or see the... More

A beautiful hotel and worth a visit in its own right but the restaurant let us down badly. We had spent the morning travelling so looked forward to a good buffet lunch which we had booked for 2pm. We arrived at 1.45pm (lunch is served until 3pm) only to find that just about every buffet dish was seriously depleted and... More

Beautifully styled hotel with spacious rooms and lovely gardens . Note that most rooms are on one floor, but there are basement rooms on two sides that tend to be dark and possibly damp - specifiy a "non-basement" room on booking. Al a carte menu is good and good value, but evening and breakfast buffets have little Indian inspiration which... More

The hotel is actually a palace, with an amazing garden in the courtyard - it is green, calm and with a great atmosphere. In the evening, there was live music played in the garden, which was very pleasant. Probably the biggest advantage is its architecture (it's a real mahal) and its location: you can easily walk from the to most... More

More money needs to be spent on the rooms, although I enjoyed the huge keyed locks on the doors and being able to sleep with open, screened windows. The design of the public areas is lovely, with many quiet places to sit and read or simply enjoy the gardens. The buffet was uninspired but 8 of us ordered an a... More

Stayed in Amar Mahal Hotel for 2 nights and 2 days. Liked their interiors which give an impression of living in a Mahal [Palace] as the name suggests. Buffet is average and so is any food they offer. They have a ayurvedic Spa and yes the pool is not functional. Good terraces and lawns. My room was opposite the tennis... More
