Overall, our experience was wonderful, and we wouldn't hesitate to return. However, we did notice a few areas that could use some attention, particularly around the infinity pool, restaurant, and the first courtyard. Some maintenance and a fresh coat of paint would enhance the outdoor areas. Additionally, we encountered challenges with the reservation staff, as they were difficult to reach, and the response time on booking.com was slow or nonexistent, leading to unnecessary misunderstandings and frustration.

This place was one of the highlights of our India journey, and it exceeded all expectations. It felt truly special, and we felt blessed to have experienced it. This stunning old palace brims with captivating history. The tour of the impeccably preserved private quarters offered a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the royalty who once resided here, providing ample opportunities for capturing beautiful memories. The dinner surpassed all expectations, and the restaurant staff were incredibly friendly. Overall, an exceptional experience that left a lasting impression.

No WIFI was biggest upset.it was mentioned on the booking.com as there is WIFI.But there wasn't any free WIFI in any of the rooms or restaurant only the lobby provides the wifi..Food wasn't that great especially the dinner..Neither they have good options on the buffet nor on the a la carte..

the palace itself was the greatest positive.staff were generous and made sure that they ve got us covered.Amazing location between the mountains make it even better place to wake up at.bBoth the swimming pools were magnificent especially the infinity pool over the terrace..overall a great stay

Perfect place to finish our two weeks and a half holiday around India. The Palace is beautiful, it has two fantastic swimming pools with great view to the mountains. We stayed in the royal suite, room was excellent, large, modern and stylishly decorated in traditional way with a fantastic view to the mountains. The restaurant staff were fantastic, I mentioned it was my husbands birthday and when we went for dinner they surprised us with a beautiful decorated table outside the restaurant under the stars in privite area, it was a fantastic evening. Take the palace tour, it is not long but it will give you a good insight of the palace history.

Lacked in house activities, traditional Rajasthani music / artists on show. Some live traditional music with meals is always appreciated, which was missing. There was 1 puppet show for 5 mins which we weren't aware of an ended up skipping, although we had asked on the activities beforehand.

Very well maintained and super polite staff who are always eager to show you around the palace and help you out. A palatial yet homely appeal. A great weekend escape for us from Delhi.

Samode Palace is a special place. The backdrop, staff and the hospitality make you feel like you're at home.

Overpriced food - ice cream as a desert was 600 rupees. One of the waiters was incredibly pushy and kept trying to get us to agree a time to meet his friend who was a guide despite us saying no. overall however we did enjoy our stay

Beautiful and unique property, very comfortable and spacious rooms. Incredibly impressive setting. Staff were mostly very friendly and helpful.

This hotel is seriously beautiful and worth an overnight stay just to have more time to enjoy it. The staff are very attentive and warm, and I enjoyed the free walking tour of the palace. Rooms are very comfortable and come with everything you need. There is even a small gym that is fairly decent. They provided me with a personal portable hotspot so wifi connection was also perfect.

nothing to dislike. Truly a world class hotel

A hotel that exceeded our expectation. Truly epic and world class. We stayed for one night and the hotel manager was very accommodative with our late arrival and extended our check out also. The staff accompanied my mother for her shopping in Samode village and were extremely courteous, helpful and super accommodative. We visited the glass room which was stunning. The hotel is situated among the hills and its location is simply gorgeous. Definitely a place to revisit. I have already made plans to go back there again in 2022

The hotel is undeniably beautiful. But it's more than that which makes your stay so wonderful. The staff go out of their way. They are cheery, friendly and helpful, and yet also know when to leave you in peace - which you want so that you can relax and soak up their beautiful surroundings too.
