Taj Umaid Bhavan Palace Reviews

Built with a vision to keep the people safe from famines in it's time, also this place holds a historical value and has a small antique car museum.

Worth seeing if you are new to art and architecture!
But,you will get disappointed if you expect rajasthani art cause all the interriors have a greekish scent.

One of the top rated hotels in India managed by the Taj Group. Luxury, history, tradition and hospitality in one place which gives you an experience of lifetime

It's worth visiting this palace for once only. I didn't like anything else other than the royal fleet of cars here. Garden is nice but nothing much is there to see as visitor.

Amazing experience no word to express ,life time memories

I don't have word to describe this place .
All of my word in my dictionary is too less to describe it.
.......... Heart of jodhpur

Its a display of Royalty. A beautiful construction that is mostly converted to a classy hotel and the balance is a museum. There is a segment that displays vintage cars. One should not miss the grand entrance with the helipad in front. However, the richness of the place was in a cheap contrast to the behavior of the guide who was in a hurry to finish the tour, not adding much value in exchange for the tips that was pocketed before the trip started, by demand.

The museum can be better preserved but overall a good visit. Takes about 1 hours to do the whole tour of free area

We were short on time so didn't visit the palace from inside as it houses a museum and we had seen many museums on our journey to Jodhpur from Jaipur.
The building itself was built less than a century ago which is evident from the british influence on its architecture. Perched atop a hill, youhave gorgeous scenic views of the surprisingly green Jodhpur city.
There is an entry fee to go visit the museum which is 100 rupeed for foreign nationals and 30 for Indians (at the time of writing this review). There is no fee to click pictures and you can click a nice panoramic shot from the vintage car collection shed. There is no fee to view this collection which houses Rolls Royce Phantom II, Morris, Humber. Cadillac and Buick from the early 20th century. All 6 to 8 cylinders and under 60 HP. So they were beautiful cars but pretty slow I'm guessing.
Overall a nice place to visit with one of the cheapest entry fees.

TIP: Put Umaid Bhavan Museum in Google Maps else it might take you to the entrance to the hotel and you'll have to turn around.

Nyc palce there r lots of old car's collection.gud site seen.one of d most expensive hotel in jodhpur.

Well built Palace. Reminds us of 19th century British Indian architecture like Parliament, Gate way of India, India Gate etc. Only 20% is available for viewing. Rest is leased to Taj groups for hotel. Toilets are dirty.

I just love the place... Especially classic cars are really osum. .

Luxurious palace of India traditional Rathore welcome on arrival it's just like a king coming back to palace when you enter warm hospitality is served by Taj staff and the traditional ghomar dance in central dome is awesome amazing experience...

Magnificent architecture and pleasent env. Place to visit definitely while in Jodhpur.

Cool tourist spot. Nice museum with good collection of Indian renaissance art. The Building itself is the finest specimen of Early 20th century pre war indian architecture. A great vintage car collection. Has a beautiful garden and a great spot to spend a day.

Residence of Maharaja Gaj Singh, Museum for Public and a 5 Star hotel

Very beautiful palace it contains all glories and events details of Jodhpur at last this is awesome palace

It's is on the rock and made by sand stone called chitter and it is also called Chittar Palace

Nice place. Since I am a car lover, and here, I found a classic car collection, I was enjoying it... Also, the rooms are very nice. But costly though

Palace of king of jodhpur, shows the living style of king like their utensiles, dining table, and their saba place. Collection of antique cars and many more excited things

The museum is nice. especially the vintage cars section is awsome

Beautiful palace turned to 5 star hotel.One small section is turned to museum and is open for tourist s

Wow, a huge, robust and beautifully built fort. It has also got the historical projections which are of real interest and worth of spending time and money. And the best part was the projections of cars of Maharaja's. And one more important think, it is the fort where Priyanka Chopra and Nick got married.

Many things to see. So take time in hand to watch all the things

Nice museum exhibiting some of the Maharaja's immense belongings. The museum provides great detail about the history of Jodhpur state and life during the British Raj.

Beautiful palace in jodhpur. But there's nothing so great inside to see . the king's place so they have kept all his luxurious items there. Other than that nothing great to see inside. From it looks so beautiful. The collection of cars is also too good. He's having almost 10cars of different brands like humber, benz, candid etc. Nice place to visit.

Architectural marvel
Museum has a great collection
Vintage car collection is exquisite and unique
Premises are neat and clean

Limited access to palace, we are allowed to museum and vintage car collection area only. It will take around 40 min to cover all.

Umaid Bhawan Palace is an excellent place and a must visit spot for every tourist visiting Jodhpur. Apart from scenic beauty, Museum is really an excellent opportunity to look into the history of brave rajputana.

Probably Marwar's pride at the moment! This place is just strikingly awesome ! Is a must visit in Jodhpur!

Feel the Rajputana Royalty, The heritage, wonderful antique car collection.

Umaid Bhawan Palace is interesting Palace for TOURIST** TO BE ***** VISIT ONE TIME**THANK**

This is still a colonial hotel. When I wanted to visit the restaurant, they did not even allow me inside the hotel and mentioned that the visitor fee is rs 6000. This amount was only for the entry and I would have to pay additional for any food that I order. I did not encounter such a steep visitor fee anywhere else. I did not expect this from a Taj property.

Though If your skin color is white or you have luxurious four wheeler then you should not have a problem, I guess.

This is one of the best architecture in Rajasthan. Must visit this place. Hotel is itself like a heaven. Not a single negative thing i saw their.

Great views but only a part is available for tourists

provide employment to thousands of
people during the time of famine.
