Okay is India and okay you cannot expect the best, at least a little hot water in the morning... no is too much! The view is nice, so if you are planning to go and swim in the Gangee, that is okay, do not plan to use facilities in there as they will not work for sure, the staff is... more

My friends and I stayed at Palace on Stepss, and had a wonderful stay. When we were there in August, the hotel was very quiet and peaceful. The staff was very friendly and cuteous, and we received all of the help and guidance we needed in regards to our travels. In terms of the hotel itself, we adored the roof-top-terrace,... more

ask for room 206!!! it's a dome-shaped doubleroom with a great view over the Ganges and very special! (used to be the meditation room of the Maharadscha) it's very simple, but clean! but beware of the monkeys. so keep the french window closed, when you're gone. the service is keen to help. when there was no running water one evening... more

Trust me guys, one of the worst hotels ever visited. The hotel is in a very bad shape. The claims on the hotel's website is completely doctored. There is nothing called as comfortable stay as the rooms are like one of the worst that i've seen in my whole life. The owner of the hotel is a big cheat as... more

We stayed here for 3 days and paid way too much money for what we got. The rooms were very standard and dirty. Electricity went on and off all day and night. There was hot water but ran out quickly. We did not have the same experience as the previous person and would not recommend this hotel. Hotel Rashmi or... more

Our room had a vaulted ceiling, refrigerator stocked with water, and television. The Palace is located at Rana Mahal Ghat in an old castle over 400 hundred years old. It is centrally located and quiet. The... more
