This is not a 5 star hotel. One could say the architecture, location, and view are 5 stars, but I could not call the cleanliness, decor, upkeep, food or service 5 stars. Compared to other hotels of similar price point, Shiv Niwas was an overall disappointment. The facilities are dodgy - for example in the suite, the A/C was controlled by a dial on the nightstand. There was no temperature gauge - just a dial - and if you turned it up above the very lowest setting it sounded suddenly were on an airplane landing strip. The towels were thin and threadbare. A five star hotel should provide decent towels. The breakfast was nice but I had one very lousy dinner and another mediocre dinner (room service). I did not feel the service/hospitality were up to standard for India - it was inconsistent and felt somewhat ingenuine. The beds and pillows were comfortable. One of my nights I stayed in a Lake view terrace suite and the view out the sliding door would have been perfect if the hotel wouldn't have put a stupid sticker with a warning to keep the door shut right in the middle of your view. Because that sticker was on the door obstructing my view, I kept my door open, ignoring the sticker's request. If you don't want people leaving the door open, don't give them a reason to. I think there are much better properties in Udaipur at the same price point. You pay high dollar to stay on city palace grounds but you can get similar views without the hassle elsewhere.

The location of the property is very good, accessible to palace, shopping etc. Staff is very warm and hospitable. However, the rooms need major uplift as compared to its competitors. Breakfast served is not very good, not sure if it is outsourced, it does not seem fresh.

As part of the Palace complex this is truly an exceptional hotel which would cost four or more times more in Europe.

We wish to file a complaint & claim compensation for the stay. Please advise process. The property is not 4 star as stated. We had a room that had mold, and construction works being carried out. The shower and electric kettle were faulty. Despite complaining management refused to change our room. Don’t bother booking this hotel. The 5 star reviews are written by local people, We have travelled worldwide, this hotel is not even 3star. Don’t waste your money,

The location of the hotel is its best part! Walking in the bylanes, shopping, exploring the cafes or the city palace tour, nothing can be better than this hotel and Taj Fateh Prakash. Bothe are very strategically located. Food and service both were superb. The desk was very courteous and prompt. However the rooms look old and they lacked good design and heritage vibe. Similarly the bathrooms are old and lack the charm of a well designed place. In facilities, there was no gym and salon. The pool was under construction too. We went with a lot of expectations as it belongs to the HRH group.

Beautiful grounds, elegant decor and perfect location. Bathrooms little on a tired side. Customer service below expectations - staff’s slow response rate (waited 45 min to get iron) combined with confusion and miscommunication lead to bit of frustration and unexpected charges. Breakfast buffet and Pool bar though adequate completely overpriced. (500 IR coffee..eek!)

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the stay at Shiv Niwas palace. The overall ambience and view is one to be experienced. We were treated royally all throughout our stay with prompt and cordial service. The breakfast catered to all tastes and was delectable. The hotel itself is located in the middle of the city palace, which is a pro if you have to shop, take a sunset tour or tour around the city palace. They will also arrange for pickup and drop off at these spots. However, if you plan to visit old city, it can be a little hard to arrange transport.

Things which did not function well at all during our brief stay: - Quality of Guest Room. It was a Suite that we had booked at a pretty hefty price ( Air Conditioning was not effective at all given the room size). It was a torrid time as we hardly slept most part of the night. Pretty bad design of AC Ducts with air flow only in one single channel focused at just one small part of the room - Restaurants ( Friendliness of staff,Promptness) : seems they had a lot of staff, but hardly anyone paying due attention to all guests. They never shared the options available at BF and neither were they following the virtues of True Indian Hospitality (Serving with Care, Warmth and Affection) - Room Service (Food Quality, Quality of Service, Promptness, Clearance done on Time) : till the time we checked out, the dishes we had asked to be cleared remained. The Night lamp which required replacement was never done until having reminded twice.

Beautiful and authentic Rajasthani hotel! It was a pleasure to stay here. Lots of perks: rajasthani feel, quiet, next to City Palace, great service + gold cart driving help from one place to another, BEAUTIFUL VIEWS from the rooftop, central location. It was a little on the expensive side, not sure if it was because of the location/season/or what. But I definitely 100% recommend this hotel to others.

Great location within the city palace complex. The room could do with a few paintings to add some character. The bathroom is outdated but is still functional. Great that housekeeping provided cookies and chocolates every day. Food at the restaurant was great! Service was fine.

The hotel is very tired, jaded & in need of a complete repair The tiles in the bathroom were coming off & thrysoil pope to the toilet was disgusting The worst thing was that the staff didn’t care It was awful The swimming pool is really ornamental & could not be used in peace as there were workmen around always Do not recommend this hotel as it stands- it is only a 2 Star at best

The Hotel is in an incredible location, right next to the palace. The staff are very pleasant and helpful but the hotel generally could do with a major refurbishment. Although the room was obviously kept very clean there was paint peeled off the walls in most of the room so it sadly gave the impression that the hotel was not well kept.

I travelled to Udaipur with my mother and we really enjoyed our stay at Shiv Niwas. A beautiful palace property,so enchanting with it's incredible architecture, historic decor and beautiful lake and City Palace views. A great location for taking a lake cruise, lake sunset dinner at the palace restaurant, tour at the attached City Palace or shopping in the nearby markets. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive, especially at the lovely pool and bar. I would highly recommend to stay here

My wife and I stayed here for two nights. We felt like royalty being here. The royal family resides at the Palace. The rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast was just ok. The staff did offer to make us omelets, which was nice. Our room offered a beautiful view of Lake Pichola. Wi-Fi was very fast. We had our own router in the room. We received massages here and had a great time at the spa. You will not regret staying here.

The hotel is right by the real palace where the king of Udaipur lives. At night and in early morning when all the tourists are gone, you can stroll around the surrounding area peacefully. The room was fine although it is not luxurious.
