Samode Palace

Super duper hidden gem It’s the real deal Excellent rooms Great food and A royal experience

Great family run heritage property

Very limited options of food for all meals.Service in the restaurant is slow.

Staff is first rate and genuinely sincere.Palace has spectacularly well preserved and rooms have modern functional tools.Food is outstanding

Every thing is good but the power went out some time

到着後すぐ、お庭でウェルカムドリンクをいただき、優雅な気分を味わうことができました。スタッフさんもとても気さくで、食事の度に楽しくお話ができました。また、お城（ホテル）の中をくまなく案内してもらい、マハラジャ気分も味わうことができました！ 普通のホテルとは違う異空間の滞在は、とてもいい経験でした！

The palace is beautiful, well maintained. The room is comfy, clean, and large space. The staff is all nice and attentive. However, the service at restaurant (esp. breakfast) was very slow.

The palace does not have lift and there are quite a few stairs.The place is somewhat deserted as you won't find anything to do nearby.jaipur is 1and half hour drive away. It's okay for a day relaxation. Pool is good .It didn't had too many options for the breakfast compared to the tariff it is charging and I didn't find the staff too courteous.

This is by far one of the most unique yet fascinating hotel property i ever stayed! The original Maharaja residene, an exotic charm that sits in the middle of Rajasthan mountaineous landscape!

Amazing Hotel with reach history. Only in India you can stay in a hotel that constantly reminds you that you are in a real museum no in a Hotel. Full of details every where that are 400 years old. Great staff and great food. Beautiful infinit pool in the middle of the Mountain. Unique experience to say the least!

A beautiful hotel perched high up on a hill in Rajasthan. Be transported to a bygone era in the Samode Palace with attentive service, beautiful food and sumptuous surroundings. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who outnumbered guests by a significant ratio when I stayed there in low season. Good modern aircon and a choice of beautiful pools compensates for the blistering summer heat. Some of the rooms could do with a facelift. My bed was a bit hard, but that's normal for India. The food was first class; Indian haute cuisine with wonderful presentation and nice little touches like surprise appetisers. Don't expect to pay Indian prices though; the hotel charges first world rates for spa services like massage and facials. The village at the base of the hotel is worth a visit just to see the contrast between the very modest lives of the villagers and the sumptuous luxury above. Scavenging pigs roam the streets and a few local artists and artisans ply their wares. If you visit, don't expect a vast range of attractions outside the hotel; this is alll about the hotel experience. There is a very good free guided tour of the public rooms, including the magnificent Durbar Hall, included in your stay. Wonderful fantasy experience.

Friendly staff, took us into the village of Samode, laundry on short notice - highly recomended!

this was the most beautiful experience in our life time everything was just amazing you should be proud of the diligence and the leadership of the people behind this and frankly we shall be back the fine dining needs to be a little up graded while it was good the food needs to be modern indian if fine dinning is the aim please dont be upset about my comment as the service was impeccable we dine there because there was another big group and we wanted to experience your divine destination with privacy feel free to contact me as i am a french chef with a restaurant in the hUNTER vALLEY aUSTRALIA and therefore can be a consultant at no cost only to be acommodated and discuss your needs

From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were royalty. We were greeted warmly at reception and was treated promptly as soon as we got there. We were surprised with a room upgrade which we all loved, including our 4 kids! The rooms were extravagant and we felt like we got a taste of what the maharajahs had lived like. Both restaurants are excellent and the staff were all very helpful and seemed happy to serve us. We enjoyed tours around the villages and the palace, complementary of the hotel. The palace has beautiful rooms and artwork to enjoy. The pools are fantastic and hot tubs are a plus since it was a little chilly. The duty manager made an effort to make sure that we had the best possible stay....we were treated as family. A nice policy they have is that they don't encourage individual tipping of the staff....only a tip box that we can choose to put tips in at the end of our stay. It takes the pressure out of constantly worrying about how much to give everyone. Overall, an excellent stay and we would happily return!

Il palazzo di Samode è straordinariamente bello, la trasformazione in albergo è stata particolarmente curata, gli ambienti sono arredati con grande gusto e attenzione. Pulizia all'altezza, personale premuroso senza essere invadente, attento alle necessità degli ospiti. Il ristorante offre colazioni a buffet di buon livello sia come qualità che come varietà. Il palazzo merita una visita in se stesso, le due piscine e la spa offrono la possibilità di vivere una pausa di relax lontani dal caos di Jaipur. Il palazzo è incastonato in una valletta verdeggiante, sovrastato dal forte raggiungibile a piedi, e la sua posizione rende le serate piacevolmente fresche. E' possibile visitare i giardini del maharaja a 3km (Samode Bagh) e sorseggiarvi un tè nonchè visitare il villaggetto di Samode.

ホテル自体の素晴らしさはもちろん、スタッフのみなさんの心遣いに癒されます。 夜は星がきれいでサモード滞在ならではの、ゆったりとした時間が最高に贅沢です。

Beautiful hotel with wonderful staff, almost all from the local village. An oasis of calm much appreciated after the manic cities of India.

Stayed at quite a few hotels in India before coming here, including a few palace hotels. The place took some effort to get to, and the town of Samod is very small and generally uninteresting. The palace looked great from photos and a distance but is run down from poor maintenance. For example we had a very large suite but the door wouldn't close properly, the study table was very dusty and the bath(jacuzzi) was dirt ridden. Service was minimal and poor, with exception of the restaurant. After check in, there were no staff to be seen in the hotel. No one at the pool area to help you, no one around the the grounds. There were a group of men in uniform at the front gate, but they don't really acknowledge you, so I wasn't even sure if they worked there. When we left, not a single person helped with our luggage, and there were at least 5 staff member standing at the front gate looking at us. The restaurant had amazing food, and the staff were very pleasant. Some of the best pasta i've had anywhere, and amazing curries. Overall, overpriced and poor hotel. Lots of palace hotels to choose from in india, but this one is just not up to scratch.

A wonderful experience in an amazing setting

IT WAS SENSATIONAL…GREAT GET AWAY
