Absolutely THE BEST!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 27 Jan 2014
My wife and I travel a great deal. We have stayed in the finest hotels all over the world. We have occasionally said of a hotel, "This is one of the best in the world."
We have never before been able to say "This is the best hotel in the world." But we now can say, "The Oberoi Udaivilas is THE BEST HOTEL IN THE WORLD."
Thank you for your hospitality, the wonderful experience we have had here and the treasured memories of India that you helped create.

Outstanding service, Great rooms, fabulous food, beautiful hotel with a great view of the lake.

Well I can't think of anything that I would ask more from this hotel. The staff goes out of their way to make sure you get what you want.

Truly amazing hotel and well deserving of the top resort hotel of the world badge !

Room tip: Rooms with direct access to private pool(shared by 8-9 rooms) are well worth the extra cost !

The Udaivilas are a 5 star property in Pichola lake and are the most expensive one. The food in the restaurants is fantastic and service is very pleasing too. The view of the lake is great and the gardens of the hotel are brilliant. The collection of dessert liqueurthat they have is something I really will remember for a long time. Do enjoy that if you visit.

this hotel is situated at the bank of the lake. with a beautiful view of the lake place hotel, the lake itself and the city palace. You are surrounded in a hotel that has been designed to look like a palace and are treated as royalty too. The staff is extremely friendly and there to meet every one of your need. the food is amazing and the chef will make anything you like. the pool near the spa has a view one can't forget. definitely i would recommend this hotel to all couples.
