Remember it’s 200 years old. Although this hotel is part of the maharaja’s Palace it is not in the category of a Taj or Shangri-La hotel. Once you have adjusted your expectations you will enjoy this experience. Rahul Paliwal manager at Shiv Niwas Palace Udaipur is worthy of special note. He understood my dilemma of comparing other 5 star hotels to his. He offered to upgrade our stay from Room 10 with mountain views and private terrace to room 6. A very palatial palace suite with study, formal entry, separate sitting room with huge walkin dressing room with very good lake views. Once we experienced this room we felt blessed. If you want to experience living with the current Maharaja and his family and gain a knowledge of life in a palace 400 years ago then you should spoil yourself.

Beautiful property but doesn’t live up to its 5 star status. The staff are very nice but they lack attention to detail. I don’t think it’s value for money. The rooms are big but average, the bathrooms need updating. The views are spectacular though. One thing that I would suggest the hotel is not to ring the guests regarding if we want spa treatments or are we coming for breakfast. We feel very relaxed but would have preferred if we weren’t disturbed at all. The bar is beautiful though and I would highly recommend having a drink there. Food in the restaurant is very good as well.
