Fodor's Expert Review Raj Mahal Palace Hotel

Sardar Patel Marg, C-Scheme, Civil Lines, Jaipur, Rajasthan, 302001, India

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

If you want a central location and don't mind sacrificing quality for the sake of staying in a real palace run by the local royal family, this is just the place. Built in 1729 by Sawai Jai Singh II, the small palace has a pleasant but world-weary, run-down air, but offers extremely spacious, if modest, rooms with high ceilings and few windows. It stands amid large lawns that are perfect for evening strolls.

PROS

  • moderately priced considering room size and character
  • nice neighborhood

CONS

  • rooms vary a lot—inspect several before choosing
  • noise from nearby train station can disturb at night
  • service is slow and staff not very proactive
