A refined heritage hotel overlooking Lake Pichola with beautiful views of the Lake Palace. The property has a calm, dignified atmosphere with authentic old-world charm. Rooms are spacious and elegant, and sitting by the window with a cup of tea watching the lake was a highlight of the stay. Service was warm, attentive, and true to Taj’s reputation. This is understated luxury rather than flashy — ideal for travellers who appreciate heritage, tranquillity, and timeless elegance. A memorable and graceful stay in Udaipur.

Amazing location , room and great staff

The hotel was set in a beautiful location with stunning views. The rooms were spotless, and the staff was exceptionally helpful. The highlight of the stay was the fantastic breakfast spread along with the breathtaking views. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

This is an absolutely gorgeous location on the water and the staff and hospitality is superb! Bed was also very comfortable! My only complaint is that the hotel very seriously needs to upgrade its electrical outlets and furniture.

Staying within the City Palace is a double-edged sword: you get historic opulence, but deal with cramped rooms and dated plumbing. ​The biggest drawback was the logistics. Since ride-shares cannot easily pass the main palace gate, ordering an Uber was a constant struggle. Getting a cab to the airport turned into a 30-minute ordeal, eventually forcing us to use the hotel’s shuttle at four times the price. Furthermore, the hotel’s internal golf carts were unreliable; once we had to wait 15 mins for one, one night at 11:00 PM, the guard couldn't reach reception, and we were forced to walk up the hill ourselves. ​Staff communication was equally frustrating. While everyone was incredibly kind, their information was consistently contradictory. For example, when we inquired about the hotel’s walking tour, the receptionist told us to meet at the desk at 3:55 PM. When we showed up, a different staff member informed us the tour actually started elsewhere and sent us on a golf cart to a crowded gate with no further instructions. ​While the hospitality was warm, the lack of coordination and inaccurate information—issues easily solved with better training—made for a lackluster stay.

The hotel is stunning and the staff very friendly, however, 2 points to mention: - the windows of our lake view room were very dirty, and sealed, which ruined the view. - on the second night, the swimming pool area was closed for a private event, and the guests were not able to access the premises

Overall its Okay

Incredible location, bespoke personal service, small hotel feels very welcoming and homely. Excellent staff, food, security, view. Faultless.

impressed by hospitality , food quality excellent heritage interior and well maintained spaces in and around worth visiting

Incredible staff! Especially Graci!

Excellent hotel in a tranquil location. Staff were warm and courteous and even prepared a surprise birthday party for me which was very touching. Great value for money and highly recommend a visit!

It was amazing experience

Location, ambiance, service, and food is very good. The hotel is on lake, a tourist hub, gives you a feel of old times.

Everyone at this location was amazing! Right from Bharat (at entrance) Sonali (at check in) Kishan, Pawan, Gaurav, Ayush and Uday (cart driver) paid attention to every detail and made us feel welcomed. Location of the hotel is spot on. Great place to stay in Udaipur if you want view of the lake and easy access to the city. Their food is great too, would definitely recommend this hotel.

We will definitely be coming back to the Taj Fateh! The lake tour was incredible with a truly educated guide, the restaurant was incredible at every meal (waitstaff could not have been nicer), and the room was truly opulent with incredibly thoughtful cleaning staff. Truly a place not only worth the money but priceless in the amenities and kindness of its workers. We had an incredible trip and are now truly Taj loyalists! Pawan in the dining room was also incredibly helpful in directing us to a wonderful tailor at Shyam Arts in the palace walls.

Taj only recently took over this property and the commitment to service and quality shows. Everything was perfect down to the smallest details. Don’t miss the free walking tour of the property and the evening dance performance!

Very elegant decor with a regal look Can use some newer electrical work / outlets to meet the newer requirements Otherwise, one of my best vacations in India

Amazing service. Wonderful views of the lake. Historical property but very well kept and updated.
