Umaid Lake Palace…..a perfect place for relaxation away from crowd….we were there almost the whole of last week of Dec’2010. About 65 kms away from Jaipur on the Agra Highway. Excellent & Compact rooms, neat, homely feeling, lot of fresh air, excellent surrounding, nice front and back view from the hotel, the front lawn gives a feel of the lawns of the Maharaja’s, very green, food cooked with fresh vegetables, and above all very nice helpful simple and excellent staff always ready with a smile and a question “aaj aap ko kya khilaun” –what can I get you to eat today. A special thanks to the Assistant Manager of Umaid Lake Palace and the owner of the Group of Hotels. The hotel arranged for cab for our touring as and when we required, and since in Jaipur cabs normally charge for minimum kms and return to starting pointing, with guidance we could plan our touring well fully utilizing the minimum distance. Why we mention this is that location of the Hotel away from city should not raise doubts, as even if we hire a cab from city for long trips, we would end spending almost the same amount. We believe it was value for money. Wish to mention, although the Owner is based in Jaipur City, he made sure our holiday was a very memorable one. Thanks
