First impressions were not auspicious, but we came to love the place in a very short time. The main benefit is the proximity to the temples. The unexpected treat was the warmth of the people, and the home cooking. Nothing was too much trouble. We stayed a couple of nights and had a good look around. No-one seemed to mind... More

enormous suites and very friendly owner & staff, nothing is too much trouble. Home cooked food included in the price, prepared freshly for each meal and absolutely delicious. Wonderful location, just 1/2 kilometer from the start of the adpur ascent to the palitana temple complex.

The hotel is an old house where time seems to have stopped . The prince , owner of it , lives in a house next door but he was not in during my stay . The rooms are spacious, those on the first floor large as apartments ! If you have a room on the ground floor it is next... More

We stayed 2 nights here and we left feeling sad as we had such a lovely stay. The hospitality showed to us by Nitya and her staff was exquisite. Her food was delicious and nothing was too much. She cooked it the way we requested. Yes the place is in need of some changes but that was all part of... More

Old country house hotel with a long memory Victorians: shame about the conservation status of the rooms and furniture. Large rooms with bed essential and dim light. Bathroom with poor function and cleanliness. Very warm welcome and hospitality by owners with food, simple but very good. Great courtesy; temples still deserve the break.

We arrived in the dark and left before dawn so did not get a chance to really see the place. However, the dinner was very good and just what was needed after a long drive. The pre-dawn coffee and toast set us up for the big climb. Our bedroom was huge and cold and the bathroom, across an open "courtyard"... More

Vijay Vilas is a nice old palace on a great location if you plan to walk the temple trail. The owner and staff are friendly. The food is amazing. Nothing is to much asked. Food, drinking water, coffee and tea, all complementary any time in the day. Rooms could be much nicer though, with better beds/mattresses and mosquito nets. I... More

The drive to the country lane up to the palace was nice. From then on it was downwards: we were greeted in a gloomy, dark and dirty entrance hall. After a hesitant check-in we were shown a double bedroom: one bed with a lumpy mattress on planks and the other on a bed frame made with chicken wire. The toiled... More

The Feel of a King with his Queen leasuring around the great palace with nothing to do accept admiring his own greatness in buliding this huge and beautiful place to live in. The Experience of staying in this property was just majestic, although the palace is not that well maintained but for me that was the main highlight, the Blackish... More
