From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were royalty. We were greeted warmly at reception and was treated promptly as soon as we got there. We were surprised with a room upgrade which we all loved, including our 4 kids! The rooms were extravagant and we felt like we got a taste of what the maharajahs had lived like. Both restaurants are excellent and the staff were all very helpful and seemed happy to serve us. We enjoyed tours around the villages and the palace, complementary of the hotel. The palace has beautiful rooms and artwork to enjoy. The pools are fantastic and hot tubs are a plus since it was a little chilly. The duty manager made an effort to make sure that we had the best possible stay....we were treated as family. A nice policy they have is that they don't encourage individual tipping of the staff....only a tip box that we can choose to put tips in at the end of our stay. It takes the pressure out of constantly worrying about how much to give everyone. Overall, an excellent stay and we would happily return!

Il palazzo di Samode è straordinariamente bello, la trasformazione in albergo è stata particolarmente curata, gli ambienti sono arredati con grande gusto e attenzione. Pulizia all'altezza, personale premuroso senza essere invadente, attento alle necessità degli ospiti. Il ristorante offre colazioni a buffet di buon livello sia come qualità che come varietà. Il palazzo merita una visita in se stesso, le due piscine e la spa offrono la possibilità di vivere una pausa di relax lontani dal caos di Jaipur. Il palazzo è incastonato in una valletta verdeggiante, sovrastato dal forte raggiungibile a piedi, e la sua posizione rende le serate piacevolmente fresche. E' possibile visitare i giardini del maharaja a 3km (Samode Bagh) e sorseggiarvi un tè nonchè visitare il villaggetto di Samode.

ホテル自体の素晴らしさはもちろん、スタッフのみなさんの心遣いに癒されます。 夜は星がきれいでサモード滞在ならではの、ゆったりとした時間が最高に贅沢です。

Beautiful hotel with wonderful staff, almost all from the local village. An oasis of calm much appreciated after the manic cities of India.

Stayed at quite a few hotels in India before coming here, including a few palace hotels. The place took some effort to get to, and the town of Samod is very small and generally uninteresting. The palace looked great from photos and a distance but is run down from poor maintenance. For example we had a very large suite but the door wouldn't close properly, the study table was very dusty and the bath(jacuzzi) was dirt ridden. Service was minimal and poor, with exception of the restaurant. After check in, there were no staff to be seen in the hotel. No one at the pool area to help you, no one around the the grounds. There were a group of men in uniform at the front gate, but they don't really acknowledge you, so I wasn't even sure if they worked there. When we left, not a single person helped with our luggage, and there were at least 5 staff member standing at the front gate looking at us. The restaurant had amazing food, and the staff were very pleasant. Some of the best pasta i've had anywhere, and amazing curries. Overall, overpriced and poor hotel. Lots of palace hotels to choose from in india, but this one is just not up to scratch.

A wonderful experience in an amazing setting

IT WAS SENSATIONAL…GREAT GET AWAY
