Lovely hotel and high-touch service. Very nice food and great outdoor dining spot. Spa treatment was very good but a crew was setting up for a wedding and the noise definitely interrupted the tranquility of the massage.

The location of the hotel is its best part! Walking in the bylanes, shopping, exploring the cafes or the city palace tour, nothing can be better than this hotel and Taj Fateh Prakash. Bothe are very strategically located. Food and service both were superb. The desk was very courteous and prompt. However the rooms look old and they lacked good design and heritage vibe. Similarly the bathrooms are old and lack the charm of a well designed place. In facilities, there was no gym and salon. The pool was under construction too. We went with a lot of expectations as it belongs to the HRH group.

We wish to file a complaint & claim compensation for the stay. Please advise process. The property is not 4 star as stated. We had a room that had mold, and construction works being carried out. The shower and electric kettle were faulty. Despite complaining management refused to change our room. Don’t bother booking this hotel. The 5 star reviews are written by local people, We have travelled worldwide, this hotel is not even 3star. Don’t waste your money,

This is not a 5 star hotel. One could say the architecture, location, and view are 5 stars, but I could not call the cleanliness, decor, upkeep, food or service 5 stars. Compared to other hotels of similar price point, Shiv Niwas was an overall disappointment. The facilities are dodgy - for example in the suite, the A/C was controlled by a dial on the nightstand. There was no temperature gauge - just a dial - and if you turned it up above the very lowest setting it sounded suddenly were on an airplane landing strip. The towels were thin and threadbare. A five star hotel should provide decent towels. The breakfast was nice but I had one very lousy dinner and another mediocre dinner (room service). I did not feel the service/hospitality were up to standard for India - it was inconsistent and felt somewhat ingenuine. The beds and pillows were comfortable. One of my nights I stayed in a Lake view terrace suite and the view out the sliding door would have been perfect if the hotel wouldn't have put a stupid sticker with a warning to keep the door shut right in the middle of your view. Because that sticker was on the door obstructing my view, I kept my door open, ignoring the sticker's request. If you don't want people leaving the door open, don't give them a reason to. I think there are much better properties in Udaipur at the same price point. You pay high dollar to stay on city palace grounds but you can get similar views without the hassle elsewhere.

Beautiful property but doesn’t live up to its 5 star status. The staff are very nice but they lack attention to detail. I don’t think it’s value for money. The rooms are big but average, the bathrooms need updating. The views are spectacular though. One thing that I would suggest the hotel is not to ring the guests regarding if we want spa treatments or are we coming for breakfast. We feel very relaxed but would have preferred if we weren’t disturbed at all. The bar is beautiful though and I would highly recommend having a drink there. Food in the restaurant is very good as well.
