Umaid Bhawan - A Heritage Style Boutique Hotel

The roof top restaurant was a good with range of food and nice to sit out .

Location is far from the city Breakfasts very average

Cleanliness Heritage look and feel Friendly staff Nice rooftop restaurant

Location meant it was difficult for pickups and drop offs

We had a very pleasant stay. The staff were polite and welcoming, and we were given a lovely room that was clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Overall a nice hotel. Restaurant was nice and the Rajasthani musicians and dancers were fabulous!

The staff were a little odd, especially at the front desk. I asked if I could get a package delivered and they said yes but that they could only hold it for 24 hours. What are you gonna do after 24 hours? Take it for yourself? Never heard of that from any other hotel and I’ve travelled to 30+ countries. My hotel in Delhi held a package for me with no issues. We also booked a driver for an evening through the hotel (Mr Singh), who ended up being a nightmare. He kept trying to convince us to buy jewellery and gemstones even though we said many times that we were not interested. When we told him we were interested in visiting a Hindu guru for fortune telling, he said he knew a place that was government approved, and free of charge. We felt it was too good to be true but agreed anyways, and he took us to a jeweller 🙄 We walked straight back out (because it was clearly going to be a sales pitch) and he was so cold and rude to us for the rest of the day, literally refusing to take us where we asked. I wanted to go to a very well known, 5 star hotel for lunch, but he said he couldn’t take us because there was nowhere to park. Nowhere to park at a 5 star hotel? He insisted we went to a different restaurant which I’m sure he got commission from for taking us there. A dishonest scumbag of a man. Later, we confronted him about the jewellers and he didn’t even apologise once. He just sat there smiling. A lot of people will lie to your face in India, but we didn’t expect this from a reputable hotel. This driver was provided by the hotel so I feel I have to mention it.
