This is a heritage palace with an interesting history, and is located on a sprawling area with good views of Bhopal lake. It is very quiet compared to other hotels that are more centrally located. The dinner I had here was good. On the other hand, the hotel lacks the attention to detail that is characteristic of high-end properties. Although my room was comfortable, the paint finish was sloppy in places, there was no kleenex tissue in the room (that was not an issue another time I stayed at this hotel on the same trip to Bhopal). The service was obsequious, and not necessarily efficient or effective. There is no elevator in the hotel, and you may have to carry your luggage two floors if you want to do it yourself. Finally, it is not centrally located, and you cannot walk from here to most places of interest.
