Luxury to the core. Taj Falaknuma Palace truly makes you feel like royalty from the moment you arrive. The grand buggy ride up to the palace, the shower of flowers on arrival, the soulful qawali in the evening, and the breathtaking architecture create an unforgettable experience. Every detail — from the beautifully designed rooms to the exceptional food and impeccable hospitality — was simply mesmerising. I’ve stayed at many luxury properties around the world, but this experience felt truly...

From the moment we stepped through the door to lodge my girlfriend and I were impressed. The hotel is a 1930s hunting lodge that was used by the Maharani (Queen) and whilst staying here we certainly felt like Royalty. The staff were very attentive to our needs and couldn't do enough to please us. We were even give a packed breakfast on the day of our departure as we had to leave at 5.30am. Due to the small amount of rooms and hence guests you are outnumbered by staff about 3 to 1 so they are...

Its a very nice property

Our stay was an unforgettable experience, we loved every moment we were there.

Great location, great and friendly atmosphere easy walking to city palace overall excellent stay

The staff were lovely and room lovely too. Very beautiful building. We would stay there again.

Excellent Hotel. Room very large and comfortable and in lovely grounds and gardens. The service and food were excellent. Very helpfull reception staff. Ideally placed for stay whilst visiting Ranthambore National Park. Would have liked to have stayed longer!

Magical stay. Really get treated like royalty here.

I am a business traveller and usually stay at the Kochi Marriot, near Lu Lu Mall, or Taj Gateway; on this trip I decided to try an alternative hotel. I was not disappointed. From the airport pick up, with Wi-Fi in the vehicle and a helpful and informed driver, to the welcoming staff on arrival, the experience was much enjoyed. The hotel is an oasis after a busy day. The staff well trained and attentive. My dinner of Kerala seafood on the first night was delicious and beautifully presented. But...

We very much enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Bungalow style room with our own courtyard. The restaurants were fantastic and the pool was quite extraordinary. The service from staff was always so helpful. We look forward to staying here again.

Excellent location and service Very polite staff The best hotel staff I have ever experienced

Everything was great even to the point of the manager having our damaged photo frame repaired in one afternoon.Sitting around the fire in the evening was also a lovely experience.

Beautiful hotel, a pleasure to stay in. Highly recommend for location, staff and overall styling

Having lived in Delhi for 10 years, this is the hotel I always return to because of its location and its a lovely hotel, that’s not too opulent. Suits me and my friends wonderfully.

A refined heritage hotel overlooking Lake Pichola with beautiful views of the Lake Palace. The property has a calm, dignified atmosphere with authentic old-world charm. Rooms are spacious and elegant, and sitting by the window with a cup of tea watching the lake was a highlight of the stay. Service was warm, attentive, and true to Taj’s reputation. This is understated luxury rather than flashy — ideal for travellers who appreciate heritage, tranquillity, and timeless elegance. A memorable and...

Originally a hunting lodge (more of a palace actually) for the royalty, Gajner Palace is a lovely property with old royal charm. Perfect for relaxing away from the main city (Bikaner) whether for business or leisure. You can stay late at night around one of many bonfires and wake up to the chirping of birds. The open jeep safari is a must do - the whole experience is awesome and if you are lucky you may spot Siberian cranes. For a family outing, there is an ante room with a single bed that not...
