When we got to the Bagh, even before we looked at our room, we asked for a guide to take us into the bird sanctuary, Keoladeo Ghana. By the time we returned from our room, he - Kaptan Singh, whom I recommend - was there waiting for us. Then the hotel realized that we did not have a driver, as the person who took us from Delhi to Bharatpur was engaged for that trip only. Within minutes, we had a car and driver. Later, we asked for drivers to take us to Agra and Fatehpur Sikri. No problem. In every instance that we asked the hotel to do something for us, they came through without difficulty.
We walked through extensive gardens to get to the room, although they were mostly dry, with little bird life. The room itself was large, and well lit. The bathroom was huge, although mostly empty space. There was marble everywhere. It's not a luxury hotel; it doesn't compete with the Oberoi Rajvilas in Jaipur, for example, where we stayed next. But it also doesn't charge anything like the Rajvilas. The Bagh is an excellent value for its price.
The food was perfectly acceptable, if unexciting. They offer Sula, the Indian wine, for one-third the price of what it sold for at the restaurants in the luxury hotels. I can recommend the sauvignon blanc for 750 INR (but not for 2400), and advise against the merlot at any price. The menus are self-explanatory, but the waiters explain (that is, read) them anyway. Questions are best answered by consulting the menu. Continental breakfast came with the room, and the both the waiter and menu gave the standard definition of that meal. But then the waiter asked how we wanted our eggs. Eggs are part of the continental breakfast also, but not stated as such on the menu and therefore not explained (read) as such.
My rating is based on value for price.
