The only good thing about this hotel is the architecture. Being an old palace, they have maintained the old charm and beauty. The restaurant as such is a poor place. I opted for a buffet lunch (around 700 INR). The variety was very very few and even the food didn't even taste good (forget about being great). Service was terrible... More

The restaurant is located on the ground floor of this majestic palace, however the inside of the restaurant didn't look much better than an old school assembly hall. Looks aside we concentrated on the food. The food wasn't at all impressive, rather less than what you could get from any curry house in London. The service seemed to almost play... More

Externally it looks wonderful but the food and service were horrible. The property was not maintained well. I did not stay here.

This is an opportunity to stay in an old palace. It's a little out of the way, but with the low costs of auto rickshaws, this should not be an issue.

We stayed at the palace hotel. They run a buffet in the restaurant which is very good - but after a few days i did crave eating a dish from a menu. I would say the price is on the high end (850 rps) but if you want a safe option of decent quality food in a spectacular setting i... More

What a waste of my money. Went to buffet and what I get is either a stale food or cold food on my plate. The ambiance is such a let down. Unbelievably bad. Please do not bother to go here and waste your time and money on this restaurant which otherwise could have been such a great experience if the... More

Set in a palace built for the English Viceroy of India in the 1920's, this place is absolutely splendid. Run by the Indian government's tourist wing, they've maintained the space - just about. Meals are served in the immaculate grand ballroom, which often times you'll have entirely to yourself. (The rooms are somewhat stuffy with few tourists passing through, and... More
