Guest Reviews

• nicolas (10/5): Je recommande parfait - Chambre restaurant personnel calme cadre parfait Pas de double rideaux trop de lumière dans les chambres et le couloir reste allumé tt la nuit dommage
• Diane (9/5): -
• Sukhpreet Singh (10/5): -
• SHIORI (10/5): -
• Rakshith (9/5): -
• Kapoor (8/5): Very comfortable - Good location Beautiful
• Iram (10/5): Royal heritage belongs here - The ambience and hospitality both were superb. People longing for heritage architecture must spend at least a night here. The terrace rooms are not accessible by lift but only stairs. People having climbing issues will have to climb up the stairs from the top floor to the terrace.
• Maria Virginia (6/5): Beautiful building and accommodating staff. Just a bit too dirty and rundown. - Truly beautiful property, the palace is really stunning and the view of the garden is extremely peaceful and really special. The staff was also very accommodating of our requests and send people to help any time we had issues. It was all a bit rundown and dirty. The toilet had some stains, and the bathroom was not very clean, you could see there was hair in the corners. The other issue that I had is around how clean the bedsheets and the Pillowcases were. The ones that were already in the room were just a little bit dirty - I could see some spots. But the ones that they brought us when we asked for extra blankets were super dusty. I noticed outside of the room, on the terrace, some extra mattresses and towels were being kept. I can imagine the bedsheets were held in a similar way, which explains the “dirty” feeling.
• Diganto (8/5): Very beautiful place to visit and live through the historical times gone past. - Royalties, Elegance of the property. Staff were on the rush during dinner hours.
• Pierre (10/5): -
• Thierry (10/5): Parfait - Établissement de très haut de gamme , les prestations sont à l’avenant. Excellent Restaurant. Personnel parfait. Même la piscine était agréable. Légèrement excentré par rapport au centre-ville de BKN. Nécessité une voiture ou un tuk tuk.
• Abhi (10/5): -
• jean-luc (8/5): Très agréable séjour hors du temps hormis ce problème de bruit pour une des chambres - La beauté du lieu . La gentillesse du personnel La qualité du restaurant Le mobilier de piscine est à changer Certaines nuit impossible de dormir en raison d’un bruit probable de générateur
• Michael (7/5): Beautiful property, but not that great as a hotel. - Staff are very friendly Breakfast was not that great. Bathroom was getting flooded if showering for more than 5 minutes or so.
• ruth (6/5): - I vale la pena, no tienen el concepto de servicio al cliente, el hotel está muy descuidado y el personal no es amable
• Yachneet (10/5): Truely a Gem ! History buff its gold rush - For a history buff its like wild wild west of GOLD RUSH. enjoyed the ambience , service and rooms . all in all was lovely weekend stay.
• Heather (6/5): Great building and original features, but breakfast is to be avoided! - Beautiful original building, with authentic features and furniture. Some lovely staff and dinner was good. Service was lacking. Welcome/check in was perfunctory, there was no service in the bar although it was open, and we were told nothing about breakfast charges until after the event. There is no nearby alternative for breakfast, and the selection and quality were well below par, and it was very expensive. Breakfast here was the worst value experience of our 15 day tour of Rajasthan. Pool area was unusable and is under netting.
• kumar (10/5): Best of best - Majestic Nothing
• Sharma (7/5): Poor quality stale breakfast - Services, beauty of the place and structure as always be perfect Was given an outer room secluded, breakfast wasn't included and wasn't informed even on asking. The food was very bad, very stale, did not expect this from Lakmi niwas, the muffins were months old. For no reason paid huge amount for such bad breakfast. Wouldn't want to stay again.
• Hasanali (4/5): Disappointing - Heritage collection is good Food is not delicious as per cost. Bathroom facilities not up to mark.
• Neeraj (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christine (10/5): - The staff is outstanding at this beautiful property. We only stayed one night in Bikaner and weren’t expecting much based on some of the negative reviews we read on Trip Advisor before booking. However our experience was outstanding. We were warmly greeted and given two beautiful suites. The floor in our room had just been refinished and was still off-gassing. We asked to be moved and were promptly and cheerfully given another room. We arrived on Diwali and the hotel had fireworks on the front lawn and a dinner in the outdoor central courtyard. There were live musicians and an incredible dancer during dinner. Breakfast the next morning was great and the service was friendly and professional. To top it off our friends left behind some clothing. The hotel promptly texted me a photo of what was left behind and kindly mailed it to our address in India so that I could return it to them when we finally go back to the USA. Thank you Mr. Narendra Singh Shekhawat for going above and beyond. I happily recommend a stay at the Laxmi Niwas Palace. We look forward to returning.
• Sandeep (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful heritage place Decor can be uplifted, bit higher on price
• Lionel (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic historical building, vast well equipped rooms with old charm. Dinner in the courtyard is a must! Nothing

• Ranjit (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tarun (9/5): Superb - Great location, very good property, excellent food and service it took a long time to get hot water in the shower. the maintenance of the old furniture/furnishings can be improved.
• Sunil (7/5): Good -
• Antoine (9/5): Superb -
• N (10/5): wonderful except the guilt of wasting water. - the property’s charm and the staff. having to waste lot of water before getting hot water in wash room.
• Juergen (4/5): Disappointing - It is a palace with history and a beautiful zenana court. If renovated it would be amazing. A rip off at 185E!!!! We thought we were booking into a good hotel but the property is in need of a complete facelift... high ceiling rooms, no possibility of opening windows, no view (felt like a prison), old furniture, dirty walls, torn towels, the corridors and court all messy after wedding previous day..... The booking.com price dated yesterday was 83E.....even that would almost be too much but 185E for what we got.!!!! My God!! Stay away! Last night my husband asked to speak with the manager at 9am, before our departure today. Ofcourse, this morning there was no manager to be seen. I should add that eventually we were given an acceptable room but the the money charged considering the state of the hotel, is nothing but daylight robbery!!!

• Katherine (7/5): Beautiful hotel but needs some upgrading - Beautiful historic building, large room, good food at the restaurant, staff were lovely. We were leaving early so they packed us breakfast to go which was great. Shower was very old and had only lukewarm water. Very large grounds mean building is somewhat isolated from the street making a taxi or car necessary for any trips outside the hotel
• Sidhu (5/5): Passable - heritage building very old and dated rooms. bathtub was about to break. Toilets were very dirty and very old.
• Purbita (8/5): Very good -
• Kallol13 (9/5): Superb -
• Aniljeet (7/5): Good -
• Mark (6/5): Pleasant - the building is gorgeous the bed uncomfortable insufficient heat plumbing is ancient
• Pareek (10/5): Exceptional -
• Harsh (2/5): Very poor -
• Anil (9/5): Superb -
• Kevin (8/5): A night as a Maharajah - - the palace is truly amazing - travel in time - the experience - the staff - equipments getting a bit old - could be cleaner for that range of price
• Sylvain (8/5): A spectacular architecture, with an experience not entirely on par. - The building architecture is absolutely spectacular and is the highlight of the hotel. It is simply a great experience to just walk around the premises and explore every corner, the courtyard and rooftops, filled with memorabilia. The category of rooms we had did not have windows. The furniture and equipment could be upgraded to today’s standards in India for this category of hotels. The breakfast options were fine but could be easily ameliorated to improve the overall experience.
• Vikas (8/5): - The property has the Royal look and feel however the property can be better maintained. We had deal with a tripping fuse for our room. We lost electricity in our room 4 times in 40’minutes. It only was sustainable after they reduced the heater load and we spent the night in a colder room.
• Randhir (8/5): Very good -
• Anonymous (7/5): I have paid cash at Laxmi Niwas today morning but my card is also charged by 20058. Please refund this amount. Booking i -
• Himanshu (10/5): Fantastic property! great staff! Awesome stay! - Fantastic heritage property with very polite and helpful staff.
• Simi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rohit (10/5): nyc - Hertige property & well mention
• Shashi (1/5): it was a rip off ; how can a basic facilty like availability of hot water not be there. extremely poor hospitality - no - good ambience no hot water , absolute shame. it was a scam - the manager and staff dont worry. Will put my reviews in Instagram and twitter.
• Elio (8/5): Nice stay. Indian flavour - The place is very posh, elegant and has a nice Indian Colony flavour. Nothing.
• Andrew (7/5): Good -
• Rohan (10/5): Exceptional - Everything about this place is amazing. The amount of history this place has is amazing. Palace staff is very warm and welcoming. Being a palace the prices are high but I think the food prices could have been a bit reasonable.
• Rohit (10/5): Exceptional -
• Patel (9/5): Superb -
• Arko (7/5): A grand palace fallen into hard times - With over Rs 15K per night the property provides a unique experience of old world charm and grandeur. The staff ensures to cater to your request and making your stay a memorable one. The food was super tasty. The room was beautiful too. The property has fallen into hard times which can be clearly seen around in the crumbling infrastructure., Maintenance is improper, much of the property is inaccessible due to ongoing renovations. The gym is barely usable. Most of the time the property is used for arranging functions and parties which takes precedence over hotel guests. Hers hoping the responsible people take note and push to improve the lost standards of the hotel
• nicholas (10/5): - We stayed one night on our way from Delhi to Jaisalmer. The property met our needs for a stopover. Staff was very nice. Both meals were fine
• Todd (5/5): Disappointed - Did not eat after food poisoning
• Venkata (9/5): Nice and comfortable - Felt like stay in fort
• Sameer (8/5): Very good -
• SHALINI (2/5): - All the staff busy in servicing marriage party, VIPs leaving us by ourselves. After multiple requests, they somehow attended us. Property and rooms needed more attention.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Awesome experience - Excellent experience, the Maharaja style 😊
• Pierre (8/5): - Endroit superbe au niveau architectural !!! Un peu vieillot dans l ensemble mais plein d histoire
• VIVEK (10/5): - Excellent hospitality Staff behaviour superb Full value of momey
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing location and property
• gregory (10/5): Séjour de rêve - Le Laxmi Niwas Palace est un établissement absolument exceptionnel car il s'agit de l'ancien palais du Maradjah de Bikaner, ouvert en 1902, avec tout le confort de l'époque de style anglais et la magnificence d'un palais royal (peintures à l'or fin, façades ornementées, chambres gigantesques...). Pour respecter la qualité historique et patrimoniale des lieux, et c'est une bonne chose, l'hôtel a choisi de localiser certains services plus modernes dans leur second hôtel, un petit palais Art deco très beau, où leur chauffeur vous amène gratuitement à la demande et vous attend sur place, par exemple si vous souhaitez profiter de restaurants supplémentaires ou d'une piscine sur le toit (celle du Laxmi donne sur les jardins).
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Service is outstanding, you feel like an honoured guest
• Verified traveler (10/5): 親切有禮，國際水準 - 物超所值，前台服務人員非常有禮，國際水準。房間內空間非常大，很舒適。夜間中庭有傳統歌舞表演，坐在中庭欣賞，別有風情。距離 JUNAGARH FORT 只需幾分鐘的車程，交通便利。
• François (10/5): Une plongée chez les maharadjas ! - Hôtel magnifique situé dans un jardin grandiose. Accueil parfait et personnel très attentif. Un bar et une salle de billard extraordinaires où vous attendent tous les animaux de la jungle !
• Eric (10/5): - Très bel hôtel chargé de l'histoire de sa ville et de ses rois. Ils étaient visiblement très chasseurs au vue de tous les trophées dont, dans la salle de billard, 8 tigres et 4 lions. Un vrai zoo mais pas très vivant. De très grandes chambres et SDB. Situation un peu isolée mais très calme dans une zone de palais. Service impeccable avec des pièces donnant sur un patio central. Un peu vide en juillet qui n'est pas une période touristique.
• Ming Kong (10/5): Beautiful palace. - Accomadation is great, unfortunately because it was built many years ago, central air conditioning could not be built in now. The air cooler option in the room could not beat the heat.
• BEATRICE (6/5): La vie de Maharaja - L hotel Laxmi est l exemple de l Inde des Maharajas. Celui de Bikaner a laissé une trace dans l histoire ; outre sa vision pour sa ville (canaux d irrigation, chemin de fer ...) il représenta l Inde à la table de négociations à la fin de la premiere guerre mondiale. L hotel retrace la vie de cette époque au travers de nombreuses photos. Le lieu est magique : la bar anglais, la salle de billard où les trophées de chasses trônent Le personnel, uniquement masculin, semble hérité de leur fonction de père en fils !
• GABRIEL (10/5): Hotel con historia - Hotel con historia ya que forma parte del palacio de la realeza de Bikaner, coincidimos con la grabación de una pelicula de Boliwood, ideal para hosoesarse una noche.
• Anonymous (10/5): Gorgeous hotel close to palaces and museums - Best hotel stay ever!!! The hotel is a former palace with all its beauty. The staff at the hotel is extremely attentive and friendly. They go above and beyond in anticipating your needs and taking care of them without you needing to even ask! I would go to Bikaner just to spend time at this fabulous hotel and be pampered.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Had a stay like a king - This place has very big rooms and even the shower had a separate room very spacious good staff we could imagine the way the kings live the history of the surrounding is still there.very comfortable beds and good facilities. jess shukla Sydney Australia
• Carole (8/5): trop excentré - bel endroit service trop froid visite ce l hôtel au pas de charge
• Maurice (8/5): - This was an old palace converted to a hotel. The public areas were good and the restaurant was also good. The room we were given was on the top floor with no access by elevator as it stopped 2 floors below and there were a lot of stairs to climb. The room was adequate at best and the bathroom less so giving the impression that it was long overdue for a refurbish. Overall impression public areas good room etc badly in need of more work to come up to standard expected.
• PRAKASH (10/5): Worth stay - Fantastic
• NADINE (10/5): - Magnifique palais de maharaja rénové en hôtel. Les parties communes sont magnifiques et nous plongent dans ce qu'était la vie d'un maharaja. Patio et jardins très bien entretenus. Bon diner et très bon petit déjeuner. Seule déception:les chambres immenses et très sombres avec couvertures de lit d'un autre âge et salle de bain à refaire. Le personnel est toujours serviable.
• annick (10/5): tres bien - Bon hotel, cadre magnifique, a l'ecart du centre ville donc voiture necessaire car pas de touc-touc a proximite. Piscine agreable. Petit dej ordinaire.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Superbe hotel, mais la piscine gagnerait a être nettoyée plus souvent. Confort des chambres correct. Personnel pro et très serviable. Parfait pour profiter du cadre, mais pas le niveau de confort d'un véritable palace.
• Maria Florencia (10/5): amazing - the best hotel in The world You ll feel like a dream
• Verified traveler (8/5): Hotel d étape - Ancien palais de maradjah, les extérieurs sont magnifiques, voir grandiose. Le bémol, le côté viellot des chambres, assez déprimant et une odeur de vieille maison mal aérée, tres bien pour 1 nuit, car le secteur de Bikaner vaut le détour
• Subramaniam (8/5): Good option for palace living experience @ Bikaner - Laxmi Niwas is a good palace hotel for a stay @ Bikaner. The hotel has maintained its palace features very well. The service at the hotel's restaurants can be better - not equipped to handle a full house.
• Ravishankar (8/5): Royal Experience ! - Me and my wife stayed here from 25th to 28th Dec. It was a wonderful experience. The staff is particularly helpful and made our stay an experience to remember. The daily events including the flute vadan, the folk music rendition in the evening and the pool side rajasthani folk music group were amazing. The place is steeped in history. It is a must visit.
• atul (8/5): Average Heritage Property - Being a heritage property, they are just complacent due to their unique advantage of being situated inside a palace building, but they are not much bothered about excellent services in line with today's standards of hospitality industry. Room was ordinary and house keeping standard was low. To my estimate food was extremely costly. I have also stayed at Gajner Palace, Bikaner and I found it a much better heritage property as compared to Laxmi Niwas Palace. If one has own vehicle than Gajner is a much better choice.
