Very Happy Stay

Staff all tried to please and layout of bar in Court Yard where the dancing took place was exceptional. High light was ride in Solar Boat. This is the world's first Solar Powered Water Taxi built on the insriration of Shriji Arvind Mewar which by his example led to thousands of Solar Powered Boats all around the world. The Hotel has maintained this piece of history with great pride and are to be congratulated.

It was a really good experience. The hotel in itself is really good. The only drawback is the distance (30 km from Bikaner). Awesome stay if one intends to stay in the hotel and just go around hotel

Beautiful property to enjoy a quiet stay

Although located a little far from the city, the palace was in very serene, very green beautiful surroundings. It was beautiful, and very clean, and well maintained. The staff were very courteous and helpful. The food was delicious. Our room had a great view of the lake. Daily Rajasthani folk music and dance near a bonfire in the central courtyard was very enjoyable. I would definitely stay there again!

Wonderful setting - blackbuck, wild boar etc

The main selling point of this hotel is the wonderful building, setting and 6,000 acre nature reserve attached to it. However, the presence of so many birds also means that there is a lot of bird mess around which makes it difficult to keep really clean. The staff do a good job but I felt the terrace in particular could be made more inviting with more attention to detail and more cleaning of the tables, umbrellas, chairs etc. The rooms are very comfortable and well-equipped, with a good level of service.

wonderful old style hotel

the hotel and the setting are amazingly beautiful, full of atmosphere and elegance, the fact that the place it's a little delabré since the times it was the Maharaja hunting lodge adds to its charm and I would recommend a visit before it will be turned into another 5 star luxury resort without soul. All the staff was excellent, the massage very good, a no frills experience but with a very competent masseur. The restaurant beautiful and the food good. Lovely place for nature lovers, even in dry season the lake is full of water and wildlife. I would recommend staying for more than a day. Bikaner is only 30km away

Awesome Property, Great Service

Originally a hunting lodge (more of a palace actually) for the royalty, Gajner Palace is a lovely property with old royal charm. Perfect for relaxing away from the main city (Bikaner) whether for business or leisure. You can stay late at night around one of many bonfires and wake up to the chirping of birds. The open jeep safari is a must do - the whole experience is awesome and if you are lucky you may spot Siberian cranes. For a family outing, there is an ante room with a single bed that not only accommdates an additional person but also adds character to the room. The food and hospitality is synonymous with what we have come to know as all things 'Rajasthani'. Their speciality is Dal, Bati Choorma and it was the best we have ever had. It takes 5 hours to prepare so make sure you place your orders the night before. And a word of caution - it is yummy alright but is quite heavy so one serve can easliy feed two to three. In the nutshell, a serene place to have a relaxing break...make sure you have own transport as it is 30Kms from Bikaner city and in local terms a bit isolated. We visited in winter and it was perfect weather but would be reluctant in the summer heat.
