Lonely place with few facilities
Posted 22 Aug 2018 on HotelsThe palace does not have lift and there are quite a few stairs.The place is somewhat deserted as you won't find anything to do nearby.jaipur is 1and half hour drive away. It's okay for a day relaxation. Pool is good .It didn't had too many options for the breakfast compared to the tariff it is charging and I didn't find the staff too courteous.

Most remarkable property i’v ever stayed!
Posted 3 Aug 2018This is by far one of the most unique yet fascinating hotel property i ever stayed! The original Maharaja residene, an exotic charm that sits in the middle of Rajasthan mountaineous landscape!

Superb traveling in time!
Posted 23 Jun 2018Amazing Hotel with reach history. Only in India you can stay in a hotel that constantly reminds you that you are in a real museum no in a Hotel. Full of details every where that are 400 years old. Great staff and great food. Beautiful infinit pool in the middle of the Mountain. Unique experience to say the least!

Live like a rajah
Posted 16 May 2018 on HotelsA beautiful hotel perched high up on a hill in Rajasthan. Be transported to a bygone era in the Samode Palace with attentive service, beautiful food and sumptuous surroundings.
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who outnumbered guests by a significant ratio when I stayed there in low season. Good modern aircon and a choice of beautiful pools compensates for the blistering summer heat.
Some of the rooms could do with a facelift. My bed was a bit hard, but that's normal for India.
The food was first class; Indian haute cuisine with wonderful presentation and nice little touches like surprise appetisers.
Don't expect to pay Indian prices though; the hotel charges first world rates for spa services like massage and facials.
The village at the base of the hotel is worth a visit just to see the contrast between the very modest lives of the villagers and the sumptuous luxury above. Scavenging pigs roam the streets and a few local artists and artisans ply their wares.
If you visit, don't expect a vast range of attractions outside the hotel; this is alll about the hotel experience. There is a very good free guided tour of the public rooms, including the magnificent Durbar Hall, included in your stay.
Wonderful fantasy experience.
