Neemrana's - Baradari Palace

Karundeep and other staff were very helpful, including explaining which foods were gluten free. Great complimentary breakfast and pre-dinner tea/coffee and snacks. Good food. Interesting to see a lavish wedding held in the Palace Gardens. Nice big balcony outside our room which had a lovely high ceiling.

Earlier this year we enjoyed two nights staying in the Baradari Palace. The hotel appeared to be a bit shabby from the outside, but inside it was impeccably presented and clean. A tasty complimentary afternoon tea was served on both days. Our room was large with an attached bathroom spacious enough to have a bath in the middle. However we assumed the bath was just for looks as the waste water didn’t seem to flow into the drain. There was a shower as well. Although most of the former grounds of the palace have been repurposed as a public park, a buffer of vegetation has been retained round the house that, to some degree, isolates guests from the busy city. To get to our room we had to walk through the restaurant which was somewhat unusual . We had dinner there both nights and were impressed by the quality of food and the attentive hotel staff. The hotel was well off the beaten tourist circuit, and so this perhaps explained why it was less of a non-hotel than other Nemrana properties we had visited; there was a TV in our room, and the hotel offered room service. The Baradari Palace offered a relaxing oasis away from the noise of the city, and a noteworthy level of comfort and service.

We had booked two rooms - one double and other single. Upon arrival, reception clerk advised us to checkout the rooms so if required changes can be made. 1. Original solo room was reeking of old musty smell 2. Original double room was infested with lizard. When asked to remove, the staff said “Naari shakti and getting scared of lizard!”. Not a good way to treat a guest. We did not go there to stay in lizard infested room; 3. After about one hour of looking around rooms, finally we settled for two rooms (Rm no. 1 and 14) which were of higher tariff. Due to poor upkeep of the rooms, we were forced to pay extra for our stay; 4. The bathroom tiles were dirty and stained; 5. Rug in the room no. 1 was not properly laid and is tripping hazard; 6. Morning tea had hair in the bottom of the cup. Yuck!!! Food on the whole is good. Ambience is good. The property is overpriced for the kind of upkeep and hospitality provided. Sincerely hope that management will take these as points of improvement.
