Hotel Bundelkhand Riverside

This hotel is a tranquil visit into the past. The decorations and furnishings all take you back 150years but the facilities (bathrooms and internet) are all modern. We loved its riverside location, it was good for our soul to relax after the business of Delhi, Vindravan and Agra. The staff were very friendly.

The hotel, though relatively new, casts itself as an old hunting lodge quite convincingly. In fact the land belonged to the Maharaja of Orchha, developed by his great grandson, and includes some small aged temples in and around the property A river view room is a must. It makes you feel really out in the wilderness with green parrots, an occasional peacock, water birds, meandering water buffaloes and many monkeys (watch your purse at poolside) as your neighbors. The restaurant is quite good and the only game around but Orchha is a short tuck tuck ride away. Perfect if you want to relax and get away for awhile.

I almost didn’t book this hotel after reading many poor reviews but we were very pleasantly surprised all round. It was a beautiful location full of character, food was great (a bit pricey), room clean and nice, staff kind and friendly. The Pool deck was a bit tired but surrounded by trees and still clean and refreshing. You are a bit out of town but it’s only a 5 minute auto rickshaw to town.

Amazing and exciting
