The hype
Travelers are blown away by the red sandstone grandeur and 'royal' feeling but often let down by maintenance issues like torn towels or slow service.

人々が愛する理由
- Legitimate royal history—this was the Maharaja's actual residence
- The central courtyard dinners with live folk music and puppet shows
- Massive rooms with high ceilings that make you feel tiny
クイックテイク: A stunning architectural masterpiece that relies heavily on its past glory to distract you from the dated plumbing and pigeons at the pool.
@travel.diaries_98 によるレビュー: I stayed at this incredible palace in Bikaner and it blew my mind. The architecture is stunning, and the rooms feel like stepping back into the 1900s. If you love history and vintage vibes, you have to visit. It’s easily one of the most photogenic places I’ve ever been.

Reality check
The 'vintage' charm extends to the plumbing—expect lukewarm water and bathrooms that smell faintly of drains.
- You're a history buff who forgives dust for the sake of atmosphere
- You want Instagram shots that look like a Wes Anderson movie set
- You enjoy slow, ceremonial dining experiences
清潔さと保守管理
6.5
- Housekeeping: Hit or miss. Daily service exists, but expect dust in corners and sometimes forgotten trays in hallways.
- Bathroom hygiene: The weak point. Complaints of drain smells, stained grout, and old bathtubs are common.
- Maintenance: Struggling. Peeling paint and finicky plumbing are the trade-off for the heritage status.
- Linens & towels: Often described as 'worn' or 'graying' rather than crisp white.
- Odors & scents: Generally old-building musty, with occasional whiffs of drain issues in bathrooms.

FAQ と隠された便利な使い方
ご予約前に本当に知りたいことすべて
Is it actually haunted?
Maybe. Guests and staff whisper about shadows near the throne room and a 'royal but creepy' vibe, but no confirmed ghost sightings.
Is there a pool?
Yes, an outdoor pool, but it's often frequented by local pigeons and isn't heated.
Can I bring my dog?
Absolutely not. The hotel has a strict no-pets policy.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, but if not, the buffet costs around ₹900 per person.
Does the WiFi work?
It's free but spotty in the thick-walled rooms; works best in the courtyard and lobby.
Is there a spa?
Technically yes ('Health Club/Massage'), but it's basic. Don't expect a full wellness retreat menu.
インサイダー情報
- ✨
Ask to see the Billiards Room—it's often locked but is a stunning time capsule.
- ✨
The 'clock tower' entrance is a great photo op, even though the clock hands don't move.
- ✨
Request a room tour before accepting your key; conditions vary wildly between renovated and 'vintage' rooms.
行く前に知っておくべき5つのこと

💡The mandatory New Year's Gala fee is a shocker if you aren't expecting it.
💡Corridors can look messy with room service trays left out for hours.
