Travelling from Jhansi to New Delhi, we reached Gwalior. Had booked the room in advance, to the cab was there at the railway station to pick us up. Its an old property, about 400 years old, as informed by the hotel staff. Taj group took over the property, and renovated it to suit there requirements. And they did a brilliant... More

As previous reviews have said this is a hotel that is slightly off the tourist route. We stayed for 1 night on our way from Khajuraho to Agra and wished we had stayed longer. The hotel has a lot of history and has been re-furbish but has kept its origanal charm. The room we had was a suite at the... More

We also wished we had stayed longer.Ashok you have... More

The first room we were shown had no views other than common walkways. The second was better, almost exactly the same furnishings but a suite with doors to a small bare grassed courtyard area from one side and from the other side to the front gardens. No screens. Furniture was a bit dated, the "big backside" TV in the bedroom... More

Usha Kiran Palace is a delightful building with fascinating courtyards and extensive grounds. It has a beautiful swimming pool and an excellent restaurant where we took most of our meals while we were in Gwalior. Our suite was vast with a particularly attractive bathroom and dressing area. Service was excellent from all the staff, who were especially anxious to receive... More

Our stay here was one of the highlights of my time in India. As I live in India, that's saying a lot. The service was excellent, and this is a wonderful weekend getaway. The pool was relaxing and offered excellent service, the spa had well priced services and trained staff, the rooms were large and airy, and the food good... More

Taj once again exceeds expectations. The staff as well as the hotel were wonderful. The rooms are very big and comfortable, it is a former palace. The only issue I had was I was only able to spend one night at this hotel. The staff was very eager to make my stay as comfortable as possible. They were very friendly... More

As the name says, this is a true palace. We had an excellent memorable new years eve (2010) in this amazing place with a big music celebration party and endless buffet at the garden. Not to mention the very large rooms that make you feel like a real maharaja. Our best stay in India. More
