We stayed here in end December as part of stopover from Fort Begu to Jodhpur. We made a fatal decision to see and stop over at a site which had no one cared over the years (Badnore Fort) and is terrible conditions whereas we should have stopped over at Bhilwara. The Deogragh Mahal is beautiful place with great rooftop views. However the staff at the restaurant told us that the dinner started at 8 whereas it was started at 7pm. You don’t have a choice of menu. When one has buffet in India this almost same at every hotel with very little variations. Whilst the rooms etc were very well kept the mattress was a different story. It needs to be replaced. Did we enjoy the stay at the hotel- yes, we did. Whilst we there was a guest with a pet dog, who was probably made life hell for the others. Its not the dog I am talking about but the guest who took ownership of the whole hotel.…
This place is special - the Deogarh Mahal is basically a beautiful palace that offers a spectacular rooftop terrace with amazing views. We got upgrade to a suite and this was simply the biggest and also best room we had during our whole stay in India. There was a fixed (non-veg) meal offered to us for dinner and the food was very, very good, as was the breakfast. Service was also very good. We had only booked one night in this hotel and wish we could have stayed longer. So while this is not a cheap accomondation, we felt it is totally worth the money. We highly recommend.
The Deogarh Mahal is a wonderfully original and interesting heritage hotel. The paths and rooms are very intricate and kept as close to the original as possible. However, this has a few downsides on comfort. Windows cannot be opened well, as curtains lack strings to pull them to the side. Mattresses are very soft and seemingly old (I didn’t dare to look). You will find cracks and ‘wear and tare’ marks everywhere. The dining hall has no direct daylight and everything is just a little too old and dated. Wifi exists but is so slow, that you are better off with a local SIM. Staff is very caring and friendly. Try the Spa/ Massage… that’s a highlight! They also have a beautiful little shop with Rajastani Mineature Painting. Very nice. Overall nice place but they really need to update the rooms/ amenities and fix the WiFi issue.…
Stopped here for two nights before driving to Udaipur. A royal residence with tourist accommodation. The Maharaja was friendly and welcoming. My room was extraordinary - so large with many fans and aircon to help stay cool. Deogarh was experiencing drough and it was hot and humid. Reception and checkin were seamless. All organised tours were well managed and interesting - the rural rumble with refreshments at a lake near grante quarries, the train ride where two grey faced langur monkeys decided to come on board. My driver showed me photos of leopards he had seen at the lake. The in room dining for lunch was a set menu and was generous and tasty. I took my breakfasts at the rooftop restaurant - great location and views. My room faced well kept gardens that attracted birds. The hotel houses a spa and art gallery - Indian fine art. A comfortable stay and place less travelled. …
We stayed for one night as part of a tour. Our first room was a nightmare. Pokey room,beds that looked about 30 years old and bathroom doors which were metal.The likes of which I have never seen before. We complained and we were offered a room which was marginally better. Our guide offered us his room. When we looked at it it had a double bed,sitting room and a terrace. Needless to say that we took him up on his offer. Did he get our old room....no he didn't!! The staff were friendly and very reasonable lunch and bar costs.
Wow! Deogarh Mahal is quite an experience. An incredibly beautiful palace with the royal family still in residence, we felt like royalty the whole time. Just wished we'd stayed longer than one night. It was not enough. The village of Deogarh is fascinating and well worth a visit. Highly recommended
This for sure has been one of our best stays in India. We opted Deogarh Mahal as an option to avoid crowd and regular places where often everyone tend to visit during Diwali or longer holiday periods. While surfing through many options we zeroed onto this option and were very happy to have chosen it. The palace offers supreme level of service, excellent feel of a stay at palace and top it with bare minimal interactions with other visitors or staff of the property. This heritage property is very well maintained and reminds us of a great history behind it. The owners of this property have not commercialized it and have still been able to have footfalls of regular foreign clients along with Indian visitors. The owners have ensured they maintain the class and legacy of the property rather. The property provides more than comfortable stay in classy palace. you get all your basic requirements fulfilled i.e. tea maker in room, hot water facility, excellent beds, clean and maintained rooms and to top it we also had privilege to access a huge terrace overlooking the village of Deogarh and hills of Aravalli. The overall service at the property was classy and all the staff were too good to ensure you have the best stays of your life. The food at their restaurant was very well made home cooked food. The food menu was never repetitive and each item would taste better than the other item. We were lucky to be binged to typical Rajasthani delicacies. Extremely tasty and delightful (better than quite a lot of regular restaurants / hotels). A Special mention about a surprise candle lit dinner organised by the staff on the open terrace of the property, that was the icing on the cake of this beautiful stay. The property is a must visit if you are looking forward to peaceful stay without much of activities and enjoy laidback life at the property. you can access well maintained swimming pool / spa as well. We also got an opportunity to travel on historic meter gauge rail route from Khambli Ghat to Phulad. A must do activity on your visit to this place, the rail journey passes through hilly terrain of Aravalli to pass by forest area and couple of tunnels. It stops at a place close to Phulad wherein the monkeys wait for the train to stop so as to get hands on food given by passengers on board the train, quite a scene. Overall holidays spent well with our own self with best of service and excellent food. You get to live a life of a King or Queen for once in your life, relish it! …
Very poor primitive service. No hot water in peak Dec winter. Horrible experience. Staff had no clue. We could not take shower. They are short of staff and there is only one person in whole dining. Rest staff is contractual , roams around without any dress and doesn’t know what is going around.
A heritage property with enough surrounding activities to keep you engaged for two to three days . Excellent hospitality and home cooked food . Palak Halwa is a must try . Rural rumble and aravali hills train ride are the two activities highly recommended. Expect room to be a bit basic as it is a heritage property of 350 years old .
Our 1st trip to Udaipur was breathtaking and having spent 2 days there we took a road trip to Deogarh which is situated around 130 kms from Udaipur. We stayed in the Deogarh Mahal which is around 350 years old. It took us back in time and 2 night stay at the palace was Royal. We were put up at the Luxury suite & it was breathtaking. We were pampered and looked after with Royalty. The management arranged a candle light dinner on my wife’s birthday which was a wonderful gesture and a real surprise right on the rooftop. The food was superb where we were served authentic food of the region. The Palak halwa was surprisingly delicious. The palace consists of around 60 rooms which we were informed was buzzing with foreigners till the pandemic wiped out the livelihood of the artisans of many such quaint places. Time has stood still all these years and everything has been preserved like in the past. The owner Mr. Veerabhadra Singh who is the 16th generation of succession took us around the palace as well as the village & patiently explained the the history of the region. Our sincere thanks to everyone in the Mahal who looked after us right royally. A special compliment to the chef whose food was really special. A most memorable experience. I request all my fellow Indians to try the experience. Thank you 🙏…
