Taj Usha Kiran Palace, Gwalior

Luxury at its best. Clean, well decorated guest rooms and common spaces.Comfortable, spacious guest rooms with great temperature control. Very warm and hospitable staff. Excellent housekeeping and restaurant staff. Tasteful decoration. Excellent swimming pool. Great food. Great welcome.

Everything is amazing.

Taj Usha Kiran Palace is truly a stunning blend of heritage, luxury, and warmth. The architecture, vintage interiors, and serene ambience make you feel as if you’ve stepped into history. The staff was exceptional — attentive, graceful, and very welcoming, ensuring every detail was perfect. The room was beautifully restored with modern comforts while retaining palace charm. The food was excellent, especially the breakfast spread which felt curated rather than standard. The gardens and pathways were beautifully maintained and perfect for peaceful walks and photos.We also captured some beautiful clips here for Aayansh Magic World — the palace setting added a royal touch to our content and made our memories even more special.

Nothing major — just a small suggestion: a few modern upgrades in certain corners would elevate the royal feel even more. But overall, everything was wonderful.

Incredible room (we were upgraded)!and grounds

Buffet dinner not great, but breakfast was very good. Rather than opt for dinner included, probably better to go order on your own.

The staff were very polite and helpful. The food was outstanding. This is a beautiful property with spacious rooms, manicured lawns, fine decorations, and every imaginable convenience. The evening Ganesh Aarti was wonderful. I would definitely come back.

I traveled with 2 local friends from a small town. A (very) few of the staff were somewhat dissmissive of them. The bar prices were steep.

Good luxury tents

Their were marriage events happening near the luxury tents so too noisy for guests

Hotel location is the biggest advantage. Big Lawns and Pick/Drop to Jai Vilas Palace Museum. There was no window in the room, very clautophobic and smelly because of no ventilation.Room 108 - is strongly recommended not to be used...

Room would have been better agianst the price paid for 18k per night !!!!!!!!!!!

Courteous staff especially Vijay at reception.Always obliging & helpful.Exquisite Bar ,great collection of spirits, experienced bartender.Pool was very refreshing, nice ambience Over all an amazing experience ?

Heritage Property ,well maintained

Food is not goodChef needs to upgrade his cullinary Skills We skipped lunch after a bad experience and ate at Kwality Restraunt

Not recommended

My recent stay at Taj Usha Kiran was highly disappointing. The service was subpar, with the staff at the front desk being rude and unhelpful. I felt more like an inconvenience than a guest. When I reported an issue with my bathroom sink being choked, there was no urgency in addressing my concerns, nor were any solutions offered.The amenities were also lacking. To make matters worse, the hotel management asked us not to use the swimming pool because some influencers were taking pictures there. This was highly inconvenient and unprofessional.Overall, my stay at Hotel was a disappointing experience that I would not recommend to anyone. Significant improvements are needed in both service and amenities.

Excellent Property with natural surrounding and fauna

It was hot, Gwalior this time of the year. But no regrets.

I heard about Time walk but I actually felt it as this property made us feel we are in ancient Maharaja Era and we are Maharaja family. From main door welcome until final good bye this hotel did not leave any stone unturned. It was so so so personal and heartfelt welcome ? The horse cart welcome was just faboulous with drum music ?…. Front desk team with lady named Yashika ( may be wrong name ) she took us to the room and showed us whole hotel with its history .. so talented lady with crisp of high level hospitality .. Vijay also from front desk guided us to his best Night Manager , he gave my kids painting stuff and made my kid so happy .. thank you again Coming over to Food , the guy who welcomed us and served us whole time was so generous and was standing on his toes all the while we were there . Food was so awesome ? great taste specially Cholle Bhature ?? House keeping guy Santosh did tremendous job. He showed us their best Suits and it gave us urge to come again ?? In and all , great staff , good food , excellent property , kids pool with jacuzzi ?? Bada Bar so elegant and beautiful ? Thank you Taj , we will never go away from your Group in all over future Indian trips

The hotel lift is not easy access for old people that’s it. Sorry , feeling bad to write this ?

Spacious room and bathroom, nice staff, gym and pool

Taj Usha Kiran, Palace, Gwalior. The grandeur and opulence of Maharajas being maintained by Taj Group and offering as holiday destination is stupendous.

? Nothing to write home about. Everything was superb.

Everything ❤️

Mosquitoes? but on request the stuff did provide mosquito coil and were extremely accommodating ?

Impeccable service and little surprises throughout the stay, very clean and delicious food. Super peaceful with comfortable beds. We enjoyed the pool and outdoor chess too!

Nothing!

Staff is very hospitable, front desk & check in were very efficient & courteous

Restaurant a la carte service is a little slow

Was a royal experience.Impeccable service in all areas.

The quality food could have been better.Silver Spoon menu is rather restricted. More items need to be added

Exceptional staff and services. We got in quite exhausted after our travelling and the staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and relax. Special mention Ashok from the front office, Kavitha the chef, Santosh in house keeping and Chandini and Vanitha from hospitality/ Food and beverage. These staff members went over and above the call of duty to ensure we had a most memorable stay.

The rooms smelt a bit musty.

The most incredible 24 hours here. The fabulous royal welcome and horse drawn carriage and music was an amazing experience. The staff were all amazingly helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Dheeraj in particular was such a honey!! The room was just beautiful and everything honestly insane. They even had printed out a proposed itinerary of what we could do including a walk around the ground, prayer in the temple and yoga in the morning. Everything was super and definitely recommend. For somewhere so high level, you still felt like you experienced the culture as wel. It was fab. Food also was delish!!!

Literally all was insane, the only thing to comment was the menus being on iPads was a bit annoying. And we only had one iPad for both of us. I think it is the hotel trying to be modern and move away from paper. However, something of this level, and this classy, this sadly detracts from that. If I was to receive an iPad for a menu In the Ritz in London - I would be shocked. And this is that level. A nice leather bound menu would be more appropriate.

Our recent stay at Taj Usha Kiran Palace was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our visit truly memorable.The team's thoughtfulness and attention to detail were evident right from the start. We were pleasantly surprised when they graciously upgraded our room to a ground-floor haven, which made things incredibly convenient for my elderly father. Their assistance with a wheelchair was not only appreciated but showcased a level of service that sets Taj Usha Kiran Palace apart.A special shoutout to Mr. Bhavesh, who took it upon himself to arrange a delightful walk for my father. His commitment and dedication to ensuring our utmost comfort were truly commendable. Ms. Aarushi's personal touch in organizing a drawing and coloring activity for our kid added an extra layer of warmth to our stay. The culinary delights served were a feast for the senses - the food and tea were beyond delicious.Our rooms were not just accommodations; they were cocoons of comfort, with beds so cozy that every night was a restful retreat. Ms. Riya, always at our beck and call, ensured that our requests were promptly and efficiently taken care of.The ambiance of the palace is nothing short of regal. With two temples within the premises, the atmosphere exuded peace and spirituality, making us feel like Maharajas in our own right.To top it off, the horse cart riding experience for our son was an absolute delight, adding an extra layer of joy to our stay.In summary, Taj Usha Kiran Palace doesn't just provide accommodation; it crafts an immersive experience that goes above and beyond expectations. Our sincere thanks to the entire team for making our stay truly exceptional. We eagerly look forward to our next visit!
