Udai Bilas Palace

It’s a disappointment, disrespectful owners and no facilities to make your stay memorable The staff runs out of funds to prepare food for you !! Forced to eat only what is available The rooms condition is deteriorated No sit out places to enjoy your vacation, the outdoor seating chairs are dirty. The list is endless, don’t waste your time and money

The hotel is the palace residence of the erstwhile maharaja of Dungarpur where the royal family resides in one part of the palace . Each room has got the Fitment’s of the 1940s and is different from the other . We took lake facing rooms which overlooked the temple in the centre of the lake and the lighting at night gives a majestic look . The service gives you a feeling of royalty and hospitality is superb. Each meal was catered to after asking our preferences and the dal batti churma with Lal maas is a must have . We stayed two nights and we enjoyed the bar with its excellent settings . The first night we had excellent Bloody Mary’s in the bar surrounded by vintage cars which are maintained in excellent condition. The second night we were treated to the aviation themed bar which had a I dian Airforce Avro in it . The bar is an aviators delight . The swimming pool is well maintained and you can enjoy a drink and snacks if you do desire in the pool . HH Harshvardhan ji and Priyadarshiniji treated us to a High tea and exchanged pleasantries with us on our request . The royal family involvement in running the property is evident from the high level of maintenance , service and quality of food . They have a museum with animal trophies from 1930 onwards segregated into Indian and African sections which is well maintained and opened on request and is a must see Highly recommended to spend at least two nights here

Don’t bother even trying to go!! I have never experienced a more mediocre management than this. They seem to be running out of grocery all the time. With 8 rooms booked you are told we don’t have enough grocery due to less occupancy !!!! Holy crap !! What else to expect !! If you will ask for a black coffee at breakfast they will say it’s chargeable !!! Really !!! You won’t feel like sitting at pool side in shabby chairs !! Worst managed property with arrogant so called royalty running it !! The management is not at all bothered for ruining your event !! Below standard property in Rajasthan and in the year 2024 !!

Do not carry impression of this place as a palace before checkin . At the time of checkin of 8 suite rooms we booked , manager Mr vikram asked us to pay advance money for getting groceries as they were running out of stuff. After paying them that, They said we have no groceries at time of ordering main course . For all small thing they were begging because they said our owners protocol.. From building to food to ambience to anything nothing is royal or heritage . Poor palace is the right word

PATHETIC PROPERTY, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE !!! We booked 8 rooms to a have birthday celebration at Udaibilas Dungarpur and it was a biggest mistake, the occasion was spoiled and upsetting We asked for a CP plan and informwd the manager Mr.Vikram, that we would order À la carte as. When we planned to order dinner, they said they had no vegetables in stock except pander and chicken, that to he had to ask the chef if it's possible, they charge 18k for a room and had no shame to say this, So I guess he didn't see us 18 guests around? They didn't even have the material to cook what they mention in the menu. Adding to this, Mr.Vikram said they were no other guests so we didn't stock the kitchen, NO SHAME AT ALL SAYING THIS. The rooms have just one power plug, oh yes they say it's a vintage property, So why Air conditioner, Hot water geyser, tea kattel? People use phones, cameras and many electronic in 2024, Where do they get charged in two days. Coming to the AC part, the rooms are so huge, that's good !! But having a 10 year old non serviced 1.5 ton Ac is not expected after spending so much behind that so called vintage room, If you plan to go in summers or in rainy weather, be prepared to sweat yourself the whole day, or sleep in your cars in the night. It's better going to a settled hotel rather filling the pockets of these ungrateful and rude royals having no money to buy Food Meterial for thier guests.

Wow this is a palace! When we arrived and were shown to our huge room we were quite surprised it was all in 1940s style with original fittings and had so much space with lovely comfortable seats and a huge bathroom with hot water. We had a fantastic view over the temple in the lake. The cups in the room were bone china! Would have been a perfect place for afternoon tea. It covers a large amount of ground and has some beautiful features with the courtyard, lovely breakfast corner and fantastic rooms which we got to take a look in. They also have a bar with lots of classical cars and a hanger! The swimming pool is like swimming in the lake and has comfortable loungers with mattresses and towels. The breakfast was small due to us being only 1 of 2 groups of guests but it was enjoyable with nice tea, coffee and juice. Eggs cooked to order and done perfectly. Parata and toast to order with beans, fruit and cereal available too. Wish we had more than one night, definitely recommend.

The most relaxed I have felt in a while. Need to return for longer. Location of the palace is just jaw dropping. Felt warm and inviting and our room was beautiful and perfectly located overlooking the lake and the temple that seems to float like a pearl in the waters. Recommend it wholeheartedly. The first of my forays into Rajasthan.

Unbelievable hospitality - Gracious and warm hosts Gorgeous venue … make sure you see the hangar and cars Such warmth So much culture Yummy food Great service Adorable rooms What more can I say? I will definitely be going back Don’t miss this
