Raj Niwas Palace

The Raj Niwas Palace, Dholpur, is truly beautiful as a property. Dholpur is a very offbeat tourist destination but it is loaded with attractions, with my favourite being the National Chambal Sanctuary. We did love staying at the palace, which had a rich history and gorgeous architecture and gardens. The food was also great. However, we did have one unpleasant experience. We had booked both the private Chambal river safari by boat and the ravine safari by jeep for the two of us. The boat safari went extremely well, and we enjoyed watching the gharials, crocodiles, Indian skimmers, and other wildlife of the Chambal River. However, while planning the jeep safari, one of the hotel staff mentioned that we can start on it at 4:30 pm and end by 6:00 pm. I had, fortunately, gone through the website of the Raj Niwas Palace prior to booking and it was clearly mentioned there that the jeep safari was for five hours and also the sightseeing destinations during the safari were mentioned. They were also charging quite heftily for the same. So, after we spoke about what we saw on the website, they agreed and mentioned that we could do half the jeep safari in the evening and the remaining the next morning. Next day, while checking out, we were charged twice for the two jeep safaris on the bill. Again, I luckily noticed it, and told them to change it to one as our safaris were divided between morning and evening. So, please be very careful while going on these sightseeing tours at Raj Niwas Palace to ensure you get what you paid for.

We booked 25 rooms for our 40 years of passing out from Xaviers delhi reunion. I must say one of the best ever hospitality even experienced. It was all boys trip but the staff cooperated like anything. Indian food was excellent. Great effort Mr Rathore and his team

Luxury accommodation with old world feel in garden setting. Tastefully decorated private courtyard suites with spacious bedroom, sitting room and marble bathroom tastefully appointed. Lovely dining area and roomy reception. Only downside is that wi-fi is only available at the reception area, but that could be considered a benefit to some! Peacocks, flowering trees, and swimming pool. A haven in busy Dholpur.

Best palace in dholpur.we were staying at pool villa cottage excellent service rooms were luxurious and big .food was excellent ask the chef he will personallise it to your taste pls try laal maas there it was superb .overall a wonderful experience

We had a courtyard room which was large and comfy. The bathroom was large and spectacularly beautiful, all white marble. The furniture in our room clashed with the beautiful structure of the room. We want to mention that mr Harendra Sharma was particularly helpfull and made our stay pleasant. He showed us around the grounds and around the heritage part of the hotel. Thank you.

Eine große Parklandschaft (Pfaue auf der Wiese) mit Bungalows in "hochherrschaftlichem" Stil. Die Bungalows sind sehr groß mit offenem Außenbereich, Vorzimmer, großem Schlafzimmer und überdimensioniertem Badbereich. Leider nicht ganz sauber. Die gebrauchte Unterwäsche der Vorbesucher fand sich noch im Bad. Gute Abend- und Frühstücksbuffets mit vielen indischen Spezialitäten. Okay für eine Nacht.
