The museum only has a few pictures and handicrafts used by the royal family. There are however two frescos in the main hall that are worth watching and the vintage cars

Awesome place to be .Ancient cultures are followed here thats amazing ,do visit here ,Rooms are also great

Well maintained monument all of the tickets charges

One of most Marvelous structure from 1942 to till date in india

The second largest palace in the world, it's beautiful n well maintained, good place to visit, if you are in Jodhpur...

Fantastic Service in a Royal Heritage Building.. Best experienced with family.. Courteous Staff with a never say no attitude towards its guests. Impressed

Good constructed building, but lacks a charm or excitement

Just a museum, if you are interested in history it should be good. Otherwise a regular museum, nothing much to see. It's not possible to go to the main palace.

Superb experience and one of the world's top 5 heritage properties

Indias top rated hotel good architecture and well maintained

Beautiful well maintained palace .. one has to c to believe it .. loved vintage car collection ....

Nice but they only let you see a very, very small portion of the whole property.

It was okay. Great for people who like history about kings. Personally I found it a little boring

Amazing palace, pity only a small part of it is allowed to be visited by tourists. Very interesting history in the museum.

The place has a very nice and beautiful feel to it.
It's a little far off from the city but the beauty of the place is worth it.
A blend of European and Indian architecture at its best the palace is awesome.
You can enter the museum and it'd be done in about 30 minutes, so you can see this after coming down from Mehrangarh fort and be done away with the palaces, you can easily book an Ola in the city and the driver would drop you. Most of the palace is restricted but you can still have a glimpse of the royal life.
PS- don't forget to see the vintage cars that are on display.

Really cool place..one part of palace is open to public for displaying of royal belonging.. others are still the residents of royal family of jodhpur..good place..

Great place...really well maintained palace and grounds.. museum is well organized and the souvenir shop is decently priced.. not aware of the rooms as did not use them..overall great experience

Very good place and very nice built up but many areas is restricted for tourist which should be allowed.

Nice ambience there kitchen staff are very nice n soft spoken food is okay.

I have visited many palaces other palaces u can see whole palace from inside but here felt that it is overrated like 30rs as when u visit u will find nothing more than seeing two rooms just like museum....and u can only see the palace from outside nothing more than that.....must visit section is vintage cars which is free to see...

It's a Royal Empire. Travelers should always visit this place once if they love Royalty.

Not much ancient....small secition for public...not worth..

Located in the finest place, Jodhpur,india. This is one of the majestic palace in the world. This has phenonmal look with perfect symentry from all angles. There is ball room with best of best schandlers located at prime place. I attended social gathering which was also majestically arrange.we get chance to have some glimpses of the rooms which were totally royal in finishing and furnishings.The cost of one room for 31st Dec is Rd. 11 lacs per night which eventhough on higher side but still one should go for it once in life time
