Taj Umaid Bhavan Palace Reviews

Luxurious palace, while very modern its got a good historical bk of jodhpur and its erstwhile maharajas

Beautiful. The museum and palace is simply beautiful.

So when I went to this place hoping to see the complete umaid bhavan or at least from the outside. The tickets/entry is restricted to the small part of musuem. And nothing else can be explored. Though it's an amazing architectural marvel. I loved each and every detail. Every single nook and corner ( which ever I could see ) can't really say about the Umaid palace hotel though !

Built between 1928 and 1943, Umaid Bhawan Palace is a magnificent piece of Rajasthan s heritage, and a symbol of new Jodhpur. Home of the erstwhile Jodhpur royal family and currently the world s sixth-largest private residence, the palace More

It is a well maintained royal property that still belongs to the heirer of the king. You can enjoy the glimpse of local history of Jaisalmer and family of Late ruler Umaid Singh Ji. The unique collection of cutlery and clocks is mesmerizing. Antique swords and door locks can also be seen here. Entry ticket to the place is minor so one would not mind visiting here. The beautiful garden is another tonic for eyes.

Historical place I loved it it's amazing construction

Only the museum is open to general public which is a small part of the palace. This museum has a old video running and some hand made paintings which show how the palace is from inside. You would spend at most 45 mins here unless you want to sit in the garden

Excellent stay. Great location, great views, amazing structure and interiors.

Only museum(one side part of palace) is open for normal people....

This palace half converted into hotel but very good for history lover

One of the largest royal residences in the world, the golden-yellow sandstone Umaid Bhawan Palace is a monument to Jodhpur s gallantry and romance. Guests get a taste of what it was like to live like kings. From rooms once occupied by the Maharaja. From regal pastimes like polo or croquet. From magnificent views of the palace gardens and the spectacular Mehrangarh Fort. From unique themed dinners that flaunt all the pomp-and-splendour of the desert kingdom.

Palace is awesome vintage car gallery is very good very old and expensive cars are there all over palace is very awesome...

very very exaggerated prices, not at all good for visitors. only good for rich people. if you are only visiting to see hotel then you will be disappointing only to see the back side of hotel. you wont be able to see even front view of hotel. good security but not enaugh. you would only see museum which has maharajas photos only, nothing exciting. food carts available but as usual expensive normal stuffs.

best services
luxurious royal palace

It's really awesome and I was awstruck at first looking at the beauty of the place

Nice place to visit in Jodhpur. Visited the museum part of the place. The place looks awesome and historical yet new.

It was well maintained and the history of the royal family is mentioned clearly

Umaid Bhawan palace has a small museum that displays rare photographs and designs of palace construction. They also have a vintage car collection used by Maharajas.

Nice place to see in Jodhpur. It's unfortunate there is only one side open to the public. The rest of the Palace is hotel and a golf course I guess.

Nice experience to visiting there, huge palace where one small part is for museum nd rest is for hotel. Vintage car collection is the center of attraction.

I went there for Dinner on my Birthday, and I can say the hotel is Luxury at its best. Never seen such a beautiful and well built hotel. The Ambience, the hospitality and everything outclasses any other luxury hotel in the world. I had dinner at Risala Restaurant. They even served a delicious complimentary cake and then a round of drinks at the Pillars- An open Cafe. The Experience was amazing overall. And if I had an Option I would Rate it 7 Stars.

A place rich in history. The palace is divided into 3 parts : 1 a museum dipicting the lives of the king's, this is open to the public; 2 a house in which the current King lives; 3 a hotel where each room costs around 25k for a night.

We took the Anniversary package on our 20th wedding anniversary. Those three days were made absolutely memorable by the Royal ambience and the most exquisite hospitality and service of the Taj Hotels. Taj Hotels has its own unmatched standards everywhere and in this palace we experienced the epitome of it.

Very good place. You can have look for vintage cars , antique clock, painting , etc
Entrance fee is 60rs.
No camera entrance fee.
It's good place to hang out with family.
Usually you can spend more than 2 hours.
Must visit place in Jodhpur.

It is an architectural beauty. It is known as the world's largest private residence. A part of the palace has a museum which is open to the public. With a nomial entrence fee, you get a tour of the history of the palace and also get to see a lot of vintage cars that were owned by the Maharajas of Jodhpur. Palace's Beaux art style is marvelous. Has plenty of rooms and from the palace you get a very scenic view of the complete Jodhpur city (also called The Blue City)

An impressive palace. Major part of it has been converted to a hotel and is not open to public. A part is occupied by the royal family. Only a part comprising of 6 or so rooms are open for viewing. Still it gives a glimpse of the grandeur and awesome architecture and marvel of the place.

It's a great place. Terrific ambients.
One of the most modern palaces in the world.

Luxurious Rooms, Best Service and best views. When we enter inside the palace, we feel like we entered in a kingdom.

Good For photography
Rich History
I'm love with the Car Viewing

The best Royal Palace Hotel in the world really amazing must visit

Amazing..sheer beauty of the palace amazes u ...must visit for it's grandeaur

An architectural wonder maintained well, must visit once in a lifetime.

Can visit place when in Jodhpur. The grand palace is the residence of Maharaja of Jodhpur. A part of the palace converted into a museum is open for public to view. There are few nice vintage cars to have a look too.

Umaid Bhavan Palace lives upto it's reputation and then some.

We loved the experience from walking into the door from warm welcome (Warm smiles and welcome by Manveer made us feel at home immediately and Respect and Love from staff captured our hearts), to toys for our children to "in Room" check in to offering yoghurt before departing (Took me right back to my childhood and nani's house-we were all emotional). Our children are born and brought up in USA and we make a conscious effort to bring them to india and expose them to indian culture.

Staff at restaurant on breakfast took special care of us and packed breakfast for kids as we had a sight seeing of city planned on day. Mr. Jabar , Kaushik and Narendar took special care of us that filled our mornings to a great start.

Musicians that played Santoor and Tabla during breakfast were amazing and better than any CDs we hear generally.

We had missed the tour of the palace in the evening and the front desk staff was gracious enough to conduct a special personal tour of the palace just for our family.

Our 12 year old daughter and 6 year old son both loved the property, staff, food, and attention they received.

Umaid Bhavan Palace was one of the highlights and topics of our daughter's essay and presentation to her class in USA.

We loved every aspect and will return again"

Good collection of heritage cars here palace is neatly maintained

Recently visited Umaid Bhavan Palace. This is partially open for public and the other part is for hotel. The public place has a museum and the antiques were simply superb. This would be one of the must visit places in Jodhpur. Little far but worth visiting. They have displayed vintage cars as well.

Nice collection of the maharaja's stuff and history

Must visit place if you plan for Jodhpur city trip.
Very pleasant view of locatie. Good vintage car collection at this location.

A really royal palace in my view. The place is historical type but well managed. There are allot of things and the ambience which attract you the most.

One of the majestic and most wonderful thing ever eye catches around jodphur ,must visit

Excellent heritage place with vintage car collection

Beautiful palace but lacks written information in the palace about pictures displayed in it

Excellent and historical place to visit in Jodhpur. An artistic place. If you are into arts and design, you must visit it for sure.

It's a break from all the old and broken palaces you generally see. It's new and elegant
