What guests say about Shiv Niwas Palace by HRH Group of Hotels

Olga

The location is great, the staff is very friendly; the suites are very nice with a lake view

The normal room are overpriced; it is worth staying there only in suites

Kashmira

Location, Ambience, grandeur, facility of electric baggi, excess to the city palace was easy, co operative staff.

The rooms must be renovated ... specially the bathrooms. Better spread of breakfast .

Jacqueline

Very nice and well-maintained facility in great location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good value for money. We received upgrade to a royal suite, really amazing.

Sri

The location was brilliant. It feels as if you were staying with the royal family, who lives right next door in the same complex.

Joanne

The hotel is very impressive, lovely facilities for example the dining room, pool area and being able to walk through the City Palace at night returning to the hotel is amazing. The Jagmandir Island restaurant on Pichola Lake (part of the hotel) is well worth a trip to.

The basic rooms are rather disappointing and somewhat remote from the main facilities although are spacious. I think a suite would be much better.

Andrew

Set in palace like building with beautiful courtyards and pool area Some rooms with great view of lake Restaurant with varied menu and lovely setting Peaceful refuge from city in great location adjacent to palace

Rooms a bit tired with bathrooms very dated Felt constantly pressured to give gratuities Steps very steep in many places so would be a problem for guests with mobility issues

Laurence

same entrance as the city palace very quiet great view of the lake

Sarah

We loved everything. Beautiful room, excellent staff, great food and wonderful location

Himaja

The Shiv Nivas palace hotel is the offical hotel of the King of Udaipur. From our experience, it is criminally underrated. Not only were the staff incredibly friendly and accomodating, but the hotel’s ambiance was fantastic. Few points to note: the hotel was used in filming James Bond’s Octapussy. Unlike the Taj Lake Palace, which frequently advertises this fact and charges 3x the nightly rate, Shiv Nivas mentioned it to us only once. We booked the mountain view room, which still afforded us a view of the lake from one side of our spacious courtyard area. We also had dinner at the palace on one of our nights and the food was authentic and exceptional and relatively more affordable when compared to the comparable 5 star hotels such as the Leela and Taj. The hotel offers panoramic views of Lake Pitchola and complementary buggies through the palace complex to get out and about with easy access to the main market, city palace museum and Jagdish temple.

Charrito

The room was very large and is literally adjacent to where the king lives, the museum and the ferry pier to go to Jagmandir Island. I stayed here as a novelty being a James Bond fan. Obviously there is serious security around the area, so I always felt safe no matter what time of day/night it was.

The standard room literally has NO windows looking out to anything except the small terrace at the entrance. Even the terrace is surrounded at all sides with high walls. For the price, I would have thought even a small view to a garden would have been there. Better off staying in another newer hotel if you want to pay comparative prices with newer and better amenities.
