Hotel has a real regal ambience. People were cooperative and friendly. But now gives you the heritage status feel, a few conveniences like refrigerator and tea/coffee maker in the room will make it a dream destination. Due to off-season, few services like massage was not available. No much choices in the restaurant but the taste up to the mark. There... More

The palace is excellent especially the old part of it which is my personal favourite. I have been using this hotel for over three years now and am extremely satisfied with the food and the service. The prices are slightly on the higher end but it worth it. The rooms are spacious and the beds are extremely comfortable. By far... More

Looking at my photos now I'm home the Laxmi Villas Palace looks stunning and my friends have cooed over the lovely room and facade. However, the place lacked a little atmosphere. There was a band on in the evening and fires to sit around but it somehow felt a little sterile. Our room was big and the bed was comfy,... More

We travelled to Bharatpur in the first week of January (2012). Our trip as usual was a last minute plan and we were lucky to get this beautiful property at a reasonalble price. Laxmi Vilas was a beautiful experience, the place is beautiful and really nice people running it. We were amazed with the upkeep of a 100 year old... More

Another hotel I stayed in (for just one night) as part of my 10 day India package. Like the title says, I'd like to have stayed for more than one night. Presumably this was once a maharajah's palace. If not, it's a very good impersonation. The only facilities I managed to experience were the bars (one of them is al... More

We were there in early December. The palace is wonderful and you feel like moved into past. We were lucky and were given better room, I guess suite. It was really big room with all decorations like in 19th century but plus modern facilities. I can't say that anybody was unfriendly even in the restaurant but the food is really... More

Do you like to run around for every little thing on a holiday. Have the meals NOT served to your room, so you can laze around? Have no swings for small kids to play? Like food, which is tasteless? If the answer to all these is Yes, you will love the Laxmi Vilas Palace. Although a beautiful property, the food... More

Returned to visit the Bird Sanctuary again. The hotel has two different sections, one an old and well maintained Palace and the other a new palace like building decorated exquisitely used as the Restaurant. Thought we might be welcomed back after having stayed their earlier this year, but Reception was very unfriendly and barked instructions at us. The rooms wer... More

Have you ever felt like a “second rated citizen” in your own country?? I just recently got to experience this!!! I was travelling with my family to Bharatpur, Rajasthan and made reservations at the Laxmi Vilas Palace. Looking forward to our stay we checked in and were mesmerised with the beauty of the property. But this feeling didn’t last long.... More
