The Lallgarh Palace - A Heritage Hotel

This is NOT a four-star hotel. They gave me an interior room on the first floor with no view so it felt like a room in a convent. When asked to upgrade no other rooms with WiFi were available. There are stains in the toilet, shower, and on the mirrors. After showering the water leaked from the shower onto the tile outside the shower despite a wall of glass. The table lamps were not working and management fixed it immediately. As for the hot water, it was scalding then quickly went cold. You can hear other guests in their rooms and the noise from courtyard. If you’re a western tourist, the bed is rock hard and you’re only given two pillows. The room service was prompt.

I think it was the first time that we stayed in a ‘palace’. I have no words to express our feeling after a very short overnight stay (only about 15 hours). Right from check-in to check-out, everything was perfect. Though it is a palace converted to a hotel, the behaviour and courtesy of the people would make you feel that it still is a royal palace. Coming to room – a well and appropriately decorated huge room was given – the bathroom itself was larger than a normal hotel room. Every small detail was taken care of, which one can usually expect in Taj hotels. A local cultural group was there to fill the evening time – with their local heritage songs and dance performances – we were engrossed so much that my wife also joined them in dancing. Finally, the dinner and breakfast. Very nice, in short. Overall a unique experience which we would never forget. If we visit Bikaner again, this is the place where we shall stay.

Absolutely the best hotel I have ever stayed. You can feel the history all around you. In Europe you would have to be a millionaire to stay in such a beautiful hotel, surrounding grounds. Museum in hotel for history of the place ❤️❤️❤️ Not a bad word to say
