ホテル ナワル サガール パレス ブンディ

The hotel is probably one of the best in town, with a bit of sprucing up it could be really nice. It’s set in a lovely old property alongside the lake with great views back to the palace and fort. Our room was reached by a complicated route across balconies and up stairways. It was a good size with stained glass windows opening to views of the lake. The bed was large and comfy with a good duvet. The bathroom was large and modern for India, it even had a separate shower section so the floor didn’t flood. Breakfast was included but was uninspiring- served in the drab restaurant with packet coffee, stale bread with a 1990s toaster, bananas, boiled eggs and rice. We were offered omelette but didn’t have them. The restaurant seems a bit neglected- we ordered a bottle of beer and it was served warm. We didn’t fancy eating a meal there. I believe there was once a rooftop restaurant but this is long gone. I believe it opened as a hotel around 2000, and it must have been quite opulent then but feels like it hasn’t had any refurbishment since then. If a little money was spent on it, they could market themselves to a higher market and probably get at least treble the current nightly rate. The staff are helpful and the manager speaks good English. Another quirk is that they bolt the outside gates shut and lock internal doors around 10pm (anti monkey measure!). If coming back after this time, let them know or you will be locked out! We slept well though there was some noise from a temple across the lake and as it was wedding season, one night there was a procession with drumming, horses and fireworks right outside until 1am. Bundi is a nice little town, a few good little restaurants, though the palace and fort are over priced at 600r. I’d say this is one of the best places to stay in town- good position, nice room and a bit quirky!

We came to this hotel first time three years ago and had happy memories so we were very happy to meet Ravi the owner again and could sit in the garden for all meals we have stayed again in our favourite room with a view of the lake and the hills the staff are helpfull and the view of the palace that looms high on the hill we lost our hearts to Bundi and this hotel. Bundi is a small Indian town that has kept it's old charm with small streets you won't find mc Donald's but a magical experience of kiplings india
