Wow...We stayed here with a small group. We traveled through India with 5 couples. This was the nicest hotel we stayed in during our three week trip and my husband and I decided that this hotel was the nicest we've ever stayed in.

This hotel was the total package...elegant, well appointed, beautiful. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The restaurants were sublime. We dined outdoors on the lawn one day at lunch time, ate in the Indian restaurant and the main restaurant for dinner. Great food, over the top service. The grounds are lovely. Beautiful outdoor and indoor pools. The spa services are very good.

We are reasonably well traveled. Nicest hotel we have ever been to for overall quality of experience. Previous contenders include the Dorchester in London, Oriental in Bangkok, and Windsor Court in New Orleans.

Won't say Jaipur was our favorite location on the trip (we enjoyed South India, Kerala and Tamil Nadu) but this hotel and a visit to the Amber Fort were not to be missed.

Do yourself a favor and stay here. The rooms and public spaces are lovely. From the manager on down to the cleaning personnel the service is outstanding, warm, individualized, and professional. The food is excellent. It can't get any better.

The Rambagh totally lives up to one's expectations of a Grand Palace. Beautiful grounds with peacocks wandering around, large plush bedrooms with walk-in closets and marble bathrooms, attentive service, great food in the restaurants. I would have loved the swimming pool to be heated - but other than that - Perfect.

We felt like sultans, staying in this former Jaipur royal palace. The breathtakingly beautiful courtyards and grounds, and period-decorated but fully comfortable, large rooms provide the setting. The staff completes the picture, from the groundskeepers with flags prowling the courtyards to shoo pigeons away to the folks in the hallways who are always willing to drop what they are doing to show you to a destination.

Unfortunately, the food did not match up to the rest of the experience. The buffet breakfast selection was rather limited, perhaps because they are happy to serve you from the menu. The dinner cuisine in the Indian dining room seemed dumbed down for foreign tastes, except for the dish billed as the hottest, which was indeed hot but otherwise flavorless.

We enjoyed the shops at the hotel . Although they weren't cheap, they were not as exorbitantly priced as we would have expected, especially after hard bargaining produced discounts of 40% or so.
