I loved staying at Bissau Palace. We were picked up in an old Ambassador, and the whole experience of staying here is of old grandeur. The palace is beautifully decorated, with traditional painting, textiles, and furniture everywhere. My husband and I had a garden room on the ground floor. The room was a good size, with a separate dressing area,... More

I stayed here for two nights on a tour of Rajasthan with a group. My room was disappointing and very dark. The atmosphere in the hotel itself though was good with a nice square of seating in the reception area. It is in a good location to explore Jaipur and there are plenty of tuk tuks should you need them.... More

We stayed here as part of an Intrepid tour. It is a beautiful old palace with great character and history. The live music in the foyer at night was a bonus. rooms were spacious and clean. food was good.

My husband and I stayed at the Bissau Palace in February, 2013, and had the most wonderful time! One evening at dinner we ordered ice cream and were told you did not have it and yet someone went to the store and bought some ice cream so we would have some. The brothers playing music just outside the dining room... More

The lower floors of this city residence are the hotel and it is a good place to stay. Granted the rooms need to be updated in terms of some amenities, but it is still a comfortable enough.. Our room was huge and full of genuine period furniture and other fittings, but I weigh 100 kg so the mattress needed to... More

First impressions are fantastic - the public areas are beautifully maintained. The hand painted lobby, library and restaurant are very atmospheric and packed with historical artefacts. It was a bit like stepping into a museum! Food was excellent, but service a bit slow. The rooms are all uniquely decorated - ours was pink, with huge comfy single beds. However some... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and were given a room near the pool. The hotel itself is a beautiful old building, stunningly decorated with fantastic photos and old style glamour furnishings. Some areas are in need of some love and attention, and while we were there a gentleman was hand painting gold patterns on the pillars in the foyer.... More

Having read some of the mixed reviews of this property, I was prepared to be underwhelmed. However, it was the first hotel we stayed at during our India trip and looking back, it was a favourite. The owner and his staff do their utmost best to make your stay a pleasant one. Our room was quirky and some of the... More

This hotel was a former palace. It is down a gated driveway that is steps from the manic Jaipur streets. The loby area is open and breezy, nice in the morning and evening. You had better like antiques and animal heads, because they are everywhere. The rooms are all different, mine was out back with a pad lock on the... More
