True, this former palace is stuck in a time warp of the 1950s, but it has a certain charm and the rooms are very spacious. The bathrooms really do need updating but you could hold a football match in the one we had (first floor, suite with four-poster bed, all very red). The pool was fine too - and just... More

. . .but she is still graceful. Nilambagh Palace provides a very graceful foyer lounge. The courtyard is a treasure, though when we were there there was no water in the fountain or display pond. Set back from a busy road, the large rooms with high ceilings are relatively quiet. Air con and ceiling fan provided but wi-fi or Internet... More

Sure, it has a grand history, and the period architecture of the building is impressive. The rooms are typically very spacious (bet 40-50m2) but very much out dated fittings/furnishings. The bed was just alright, as I managed to get a good night's rest. The bathroom is a distinct 50 years behind time, archaic. The a/c was old box type, very... More

Hi, I stayed at this hotel alst month for two nights and it was a pleasant experience. The rooms were oversized and with high roofs. The typical classical Raj type hotel with the staff to match. I cannot say that it had the best service at the main hotel or the F&B, however the rooms were comfortable and surprisingly the... More

The hotel remodelled from a palace of yesteryears is quite a revelation with the service. Located in the heart of Bhavnagar, it is quite close to all the major bus stations and the airport. The place has the old-age rustic charm that you would associate with a palace hotel. Large rooms, a lift installed in 1912, open verandhas, walls and... More

Staff is helpful and courteous...rooms are very spacious and clean. However, being one of the premium properties, is over booked most the time....advise to book in... More

Stayed at Nilambagh hotel, while i was on a visit to Pipavav port. My colleagues who had already stayed at the hotel, did tell me it was a palace turned hotel and so had high expectations from the hotel. Entrance and reception was as expected.. wonderful, but the best part is when you open the door to your room.. WOOOOOWWWW..... More
