Udai Bilas: 5 Second Review

« Previous page | Posted on: April 20, 2009 | Filed under: India Beat Reviews | Rajasthan

Udai Bilas Palace, Dungapur

The Name: Udai Bilas Palace

The Place: Dungapur, 2 hours drive south of Udaipur in Rajasthan

What’s it like: A superbly quirky and occasionally kitch palace beside a lake in a very remote part of Rajasthan. Rooms have bags of character, the service is impressively old school, as is the tasty indian food.

What we love: The birds and other wildlife on the lake, the magnificent frescos in the old palace nearby, the charming staff, the wonderful dinning room and the feeling that this is still a home and not a hotel.

What to avoid: The summer months when the hotel closes.

India Beat Verdict: Great hotel with bags of character, we can’t wait to go again.
