“Step back in time”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2013

Art Deco rules at this hotel! I swear nothing has changed since the Maharaja's grandson moved in when it was first built. I felt like I was in an Agatha Christie play and Hercule Poirot would come strolling into the dining room at any moment. The whole place was totally charming in a very old fashioned way. There are only... More

We were waited on and treated like royalty, the management was kind and understanding, they arranged a guide for us and made sure our driver knew exactly where to take us. In the evening we were treated to a wonderful meal with... More

“Average.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 March 2013

This is an average hotel but the service is really good.We stayed in the suite-room which was sprawling and good. Maintenance-wise the suite was good.Food was tasty and the room-service was prompt. This hotel is in an old kothi.

“This is different!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2013

As quirky unexpected hotels go,this place has it all. Room was a suite of huge dimensions,the staff are very proud of their place and it shows-nothing is any trouble. A la carte menu was a pleasant change and food was excellent. After all,it used to be a palace.

This is a nice art deco hotel. Nothing is fancy but the staff will do anything they can to make your stay the most comfortable possible. Rooms are very big, some are big suites and it is in a peaceful part of the city.

“Art Deco Era, Needs Refurbishment”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2013

Although marketed as a heritage property, the Karni Bhawan Palace feels quite different from others because it was built more recently during the art deco era, and the architecture and furnishings are all reminiscent of that period. It appears to fallen on hard times however and could definitely do with some serious refurbishment. While we were there, it was virtually... More
