The Hadoti Palace, Bundi

This is a charming hotel! You get the feel of a fine midcentury accommodation, with a grand entrance, hand carved furniture, and marble floors throughout. The rooms are spacious, and the mattresses are comfortable. There’s a well-maintained pool, as well. The staff are immensely accommodating, and the food in the restaurant was so delicious – they even surprised me on my birthday at breakfast with a pancake, drizzled with chocolate sauce and a couple lit candles. The Rajasthani dishes are particularly good and a nice alternative to the standard menu items found in the Triangle.

We had one night during our tour and we got given a suite looking over a view of the fort..this was a nice large room for 3 with a dressing room and huge bathroom, 2 sinks, a bath tub and shower. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. You need the fan and a/c on as the a/c does not cool the whole room. The pool area was nice and quiet and we had a relaxing afternoon. Pool towels were provided. They also had a games room with table tennis and other board games/books for use. The breakfast was very poor in all respects the toast was cold as they toasted it and left it on the side, there was dry scrambled egg and a choice of 3 Indian dishes, 2 cereals and a banana. The staff were standing around to press the buttons on the coffee machine. The WiFi was intermittent as was the power. If the breakfast was improved I would stay again.

We stayed here one night as part of a tour. Comfy and surprisingly warm bed, as the large rooms meant the room itself was a little chilly. Hot shower, although you need to fiddle with the shower head to get the water not going just straight down. Breakfast options included paw paw and banana and scrambled eggs.

It is a palace, so nothing more to say! Everything was WOW.. hugely spacious with all possible facilities and a friendly staff. we wished we could have stayed longer in the place and enjoyed it. Food was awesome. There should be no second thoughts on staying in this place.

Where to start! No welcome, no one speaks to you, if you like being ignored then this is definitely the place to come. How disappointing as on arrival I was impressed by the building in the midst of a very busy City. That is where the good stuff stops! The restaurant is leaderless, we walked in and nearly every table had not been cleared, whilst there was very few people dining it was very haphazard, I would not recommend visiting. Lucky the restaurant manager will try and help, but he needs coaching, training and support. The reception staff in the main hall are too busy on their mobile phones, to want to give any resemblance of Customer Service. Having asked in the morning to have the towels changed whilst we were out, it was necessary to return to the main desk 6 hours later to actually make this happen. The only place that has wi-fi in the whole building is the main lobby, so you will see lots of people trying to catch-up with emails etc. I cannot think of a positive thing to say about this Hotel, other than to recommend you do not use it, you have been warned!

Our first impression was of a beautiful & grand hotel, but no one to greet us, no one to help unload, no welcome, we made our way into a stunning lobby, ( the only place WiFi actually works) to find two gentleman behind the desks, who were more interested in their phones. Finally checked in, and we were helped to our rooms by a nice ***. Clean bathroom and bedroom, but the bathroom smelt horribly, very dodgy electrics, feeble lighting, couldn’t read a book, rooms not made up until we complained. Breakfast disappointing, most of the buffet was gone by 8am, coffee machine is the best thing in there, evening buffet also disappointing, one manager seemed to do all the work while the others did nothing, tables uncleared, big parties served before everyone else that dared to go in, we had to ask constantly for cutlery, glasses, drinks and service. Total lack of front of house, dining room or hospitality management, grounds and pool are beautifully kept. This could be an absolutely stunning hotel with some proper management, we left our room keys on the desk when we left and found them in the same place 6 hours later, anyone could of walked in and taken them. We visited the fort, the step well and the ancient rock paintings, which were well worth seeing, but we will not be returning to this hotel.
