First - if you are reviewing this because you are considering to go to Orchha, then let me first encourage you to do so. Orchha is certainly worth a journey! Secondly - please note that I judge hotels restaurants etc in relation to its price, the alternatives forvthe same money in comparable areas. The Sheesh Mahal is a beautiful Palace... More

We enjoyed our stay in Sheesh Mahal. Room was very nice and big with lots of character. Though there is a bath the geyser is not large enough to have a bath.If I had known it was government run possibly would not have stayed there as they are usually pretty awful places. The staff were pleasant if a little slow.All... More

We stayed in Orchha while driving back to Nagpur from Delhi. Initially had planned to stay at 'the Orchha resort' but it being the Valentine's Day, all the premium hotels were booked in Orchha.

Much better than all the other MPTDC hotels we stayed in but still capable of providing so much more so easily with attention to detail and firm management. It... More

Quite disappointed as location and hotel would give excellent opportunities to attract more business. But staff incl. reception manager act like day dreamers take wrong orders and are quite impolite....

This hotel has mixed review. However I still decided to go here and found my fears unfounded. This a great place to stay best part is that its in Middle of the Fort so you have Heritage view and the Maharaja Suite is amazing. Yes its a government run but in total tips of 250 ensured candle light dinner and... More

I, my wife and kid stayed for 1 night at Sheesh Mahal in Oct 2012. Sheesh Mahal, an MPTDC hotel was originally one of the Bundela king's palaces. We got the hotel as part of a large package availed from MPTDC. Being a palace building, our room was no ordinary one, but quite spacious for even a badminton game (no... More
