The Raj Palace (Small Luxury Hotels of the World)

Spent 2 nights here and there were hardly any other guests which made the place feel rather strange with far too many staff around. Our room was huge with a lovely big bathroom and comfortable bed. Had dinner there on the first night but went out for the second just to get away from the continuous 3 minute loop of music that went on and on and on and drove us crazy! I did mention to a staff member how annoying it was and why could they not have a variety of music? Breakfast was ok but really could have done with more variety. We did enjoy using the small pool but they are currently building a roof top pool which I’m sure will be a great addition.

Raj Palace is a beautiful hotel that provides a much needed break from the intense city beyond the front gate. We really enjoyed our stay, and were somewhat sad to say goodbye. The service is fantastic, we cannot fault them one bit. The rooms are beautifully decorated. We felt very comfortable during our stay. Just a few remarks from us that we noticed and would point out. While the rooms are stunning, they feel a tad dated and could do with a slight update. The WiFi is incredibly slow, to a point of not actually working. We could barely get connected and stay connected. It was impossible to use our phones, let alone laptops for work. We had an Indian SIM card so were able to tether. But we’d say this is something to seriously consider if you’re here for work and need to remain online. Finally, they’re doing renovations on the hotel, so there was scaffolding and works directly outside our bathroom window from around 9am to 10pm at night. There were no curtains, the workers could see directly into the bathroom which meant we were hesitant to use it and every time we wanted to use the bathroom, we had to call reception to ensure the men moved away. We still can’t understand why they put us in a room where workers could see directly into our windows - it became frustrating having to keep calling reception. Overall, shoddy WiFi and additional bathroom guests aside, we had a great stay and will more than likely be back as the hotel does live up to expectations.

I've been to The Raj Palace 4 time now and this final time did not disappoint. The staff is so lovely and so are the grounds and the building. This is a heritage hotel that keeps history alive and it's such a cool experience to stay here when compared to some chain hotel. In particular, I enjoyed the friendly conversation with the breakfast staff and my friends enjoyed the beautiful pool. This place is an oasis to retreat to after a long, hot day of site-seeing and I highly recommend it!

Well maintained property, staff is very good

We had a great experience staying at the hotel. Though it was off season, we got the best of services. You can have a great staycation here. And the hotel is very close to the old city so that’s another advantage.

Heritage hotel. Luxury service

Heart of the city. Excellent location

The hotel gm called one day before the trip to ask if we can shorten the stay because she wanted to accommodate the wedding. After denying this, we were downgraded a room from what we had booked and were given a room with no lift access on 4th floor on a very shady corner with 0 ventilation. This has to be the worst 5 star experience i ever had. The property looks good and the staff is friendly, but overall the management is very poor and too arrogant

The property is excellent and stay was also good. But the receptionist refused to provide the bill with the gst. Every hotel gives the bill with the gst mentioned. Only raj palace refused to give the bill.
