The Laxmi Niwas Palace

Rooms,food and architecture

Heritage collection is good

Food is not delicious as per cost. Bathroom facilities not up to mark.

Beautiful heritage place

Decor can be uplifted, bit higher on price

Fantastic historical building, vast well equipped rooms with old charm.Dinner in the courtyard is a must!

Great location, very good property, excellent food and service

it took a long time to get hot water in the shower. the maintenance of the old furniture/furnishings can be improved.

It is a palace with history and a beautiful zenana court.If renovated it would be amazing.

A rip off at 185E!!!! We thought we were booking into a good hotel but the property is in need of a complete facelift... high ceiling rooms, no possibility of opening windows, no view (felt like a prison), old furniture, dirty walls, torn towels, the corridors and court all messy after wedding previous day.....The booking.com price dated yesterday was 83E.....even that would almost be too much but 185E for what we got.!!!! My God!! Stay away!Last night my husband asked to speak with the manager at 9am, before our departure today. Ofcourse, this morning there was no manager to be seen.I should add that eventually we were given an acceptable room but the the money charged considering the state of the hotel, is nothing but daylight robbery!!!

Staff was courteous, very good food and always helpful throughout. Missed using the billiards room and other amenities to admire its beauty.

Beautiful historic building, large room, good food at the restaurant, staff were lovely. We were leaving early so they packed us breakfast to go which was great.

Shower was very old and had only lukewarm water. Very large grounds mean building is somewhat isolated from the street making a taxi or car necessary for any trips outside the hotel

heritage building

very old and dated rooms. bathtub was about to break. Toilets were very dirty and very old.

the building is gorgeous

the bed uncomfortableinsufficient heatplumbing is ancient

- the palace is truly amazing- travel in time- the experience- the staff

- equipments getting a bit old - could be cleaner for that range of price

The building architecture is absolutely spectacular and is the highlight of the hotel. It is simply a great experience to just walk around the premises and explore every corner, the courtyard and rooftops, filled with memorabilia.

The category of rooms we had did not have windows. The furniture and equipment could be upgraded to today’s standards in India for this category of hotels. The breakfast options were fine but could be easily ameliorated to improve the overall experience.

I have paid cash at Laxmi Niwas today morning but my card is also charged by 20058. Please refund this amount. Booking i

good ambience

no hot water , absolute shame. it was a scam - the manager and staff dont worry. Will put my reviews in Instagram and twitter.

Everything about this place is amazing. The amount of history this place has is amazing. Palace staff is very warm and welcoming.

Being a palace the prices are high but I think the food prices could have been a bit reasonable.

With over Rs 15K per night the property provides a unique experience of old world charm and grandeur.The staff ensures to cater to your request and making your stay a memorable one. The food was super tasty. The room was beautiful too.

The property has fallen into hard times which can be clearly seen around in the crumbling infrastructure., Maintenance is improper, much of the property is inaccessible due to ongoing renovations. The gym is barely usable.Most of the time the property is used for arranging functions and parties which takes precedence over hotel guests.Hers hoping the responsible people take note and push to improve the lost standards of the hotel

Booking dot com charge us higher price than the price available for walk-in guest. However, We were under the impression that you guys provide the best prices. We may not bother you for our future business trips.

Staff behaviour, attitude and service was good.

Most unhygienic and dirty palace rooms I have ever seen. Terrible food quality. Most unkempt housekeeping.

The ambiance is great. The staff is courteous at the reception. The rooms are large. The location is very good.

The rooms are large but rundown. There is a sewage stink in the toilet. There are parts of the room where paint/wall paper is peeling off. During a prepaid dinner had to wait for nearly 1 hour for things to arrive. Left halfway through dinner. The sofas in the bar are stained and not clean.

most unpleasant stay

when a property charges 10,000INR per night, it shoudl provide an adequate and corresponding facilities: the room was run down, sofa looked extremely cheap (and indeed cheap one: the cushon was moving each time I sat there), and the kettle dirty. Even 3 star hotels should be far better, and after all no hot water. But I think I am only one of the few unlucky one: probably they have some nice room because I find many good reviews. But at least my room was completely shabby. But MOST IMPORTANTLY, they debited the full amount even the day before my arrival! this is not a standard practice of such a level of hotel (this hotel is a palace with 4 starts)!And they even did not inform me at the moment of checking in about it! IT is really not a correct practice. I am a frequent traveller and have never had such a case! If they debit the amount before your arrival, it is at least on the day of your expected arrival and they inform you when you check in. General Manager was and is decent man, hence sent me back the second night amount as I did not want to spend my second night in this hotel and I changed the hotel. But I completely spoiled the morning time of my only day in Bikaner due to the issues of the hotel, hence reduced considerbly my time to visit the City. What a pity, the palace is a very beautiful one, the hotel could have offered a very good experience if only the room decent and have hot water!
