Reviews and Ratings
Feeling like royalty in a palace-like setting, the property offers rooms with narrow double beds, limited space for luggage, but peace from outside noise. The location is excellent, frequented by the city's elite, though pedestrian access to town is not convenient. Dining options are fine but not complimentary, served in a gloomy palace dining room. The hotel's art and handicrafts add to its charm, yet the price range might be considered expensive for Bhavnagar.
The hotel is a grand and comfortable stay; I would definitely come back. The room was tiny, with a narrow, hard double bed and limited space for our belongings due to the small size. Unfortunately, the noise from the adjoining school made it hard to get proper sleep.
The hotel offers good and clean rooms with nice antique furniture at a fair price. The service is efficient and accommodating. The location is beautiful and ideal for relaxing, although there may be some water shortage issues. The dining experience is correct but lacks variety. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
