Très bel hôtel sur les rives du lac Pichola. Calme et tranquillité assurés. La chambre était immense avec vue sur le lac magnifique. Jolie piscine qui donne aussi sur le lac; en fait l’hôtel a les pieds dans l’eau littéralement. Il s’agit d’un vieux palace très bien entretenu au sein du City Palace d’Udaipur. Tout y est calme et beau, la vie de château avec un personnel souriant et toujours avenant. Nous n’y avons séjourné qu’une journée faute de temps. Nous y reviendrions volontiers!

If you are looking for somewhere special to stay is Udaipur then this is it. Everything is brilliant and you get early access to the Palace Museum grounds so you can get in early and take pictures on your own. Food at the restaurant was great, both Indian and Asian styles. One starter is large enough for two people,. We would stay again.

We had changed from the Taj Lake to the Taj Palace because of a rude email, and it would seem the Taj group in general needs basic training in customer relations, as it was no better at this one. This was not a positive experience and as the restaurants are in public space, you get questioned with “what room are you,” when going back into the hotel. Sadly there seems to only be a focus on money but zero on guest experience.

Pro-
One kind guest relations officer who organized cough medicine for us.

Cons-
Accessibility prior to check in and post checkout. It got to the unbearable point. I was confused had I not paid to stay at this hotel?
Increase rudeness by staff at gates, especially if you pay and go to museum. Had to prove we had been staying at hotel to get access back by one of the rudest people ever. Literally had to find the booking on my phone and show I was a guest of the hotel. This happened another two times. Why does the hotel not give you a day pass if you no longer have, or yet to have a room key.
The windows of the room do not open so no fresh air.
Left absolutely hating this experience and will never book with the Taj group ever again.

A refined heritage hotel overlooking Lake Pichola with beautiful views of the Lake Palace. The property has a calm, dignified atmosphere with authentic old-world charm. Rooms are spacious and elegant, and sitting by the window with a cup of tea watching the lake was a highlight of the stay.

Service was warm, attentive, and true to Taj’s reputation. This is understated luxury rather than flashy — ideal for travellers who appreciate heritage, tranquillity, and timeless elegance. A memorable and graceful stay in Udaipur.

Staying within the City Palace is a double-edged sword: you get historic opulence, but deal with cramped rooms and dated plumbing.

The biggest drawback was the logistics. Since ride-shares cannot easily pass the main palace gate, ordering an Uber was a constant struggle. Getting a cab to the airport turned into a 30-minute ordeal, eventually forcing us to use the hotel’s shuttle at four times the price. Furthermore, the hotel’s internal golf carts were unreliable; once we had to wait 15 mins for one, one night at 11:00 PM, the guard couldn't reach reception, and we were forced to walk up the hill ourselves.

Staff communication was equally frustrating. While everyone was incredibly kind, their information was consistently contradictory. For example, when we inquired about the hotel’s walking tour, the receptionist told us to meet at the desk at 3:55 PM. When we showed up, a different staff member informed us the tour actually started elsewhere and sent us on a golf cart to a crowded gate with no further instructions.

While the hospitality was warm, the lack of coordination and inaccurate information—issues easily solved with better training—made for a lackluster stay.

The hotel is stunning and the staff very friendly, however, 2 points to mention:
- the windows of our lake view room were very dirty, and sealed, which ruined the view.
- on the second night, the swimming pool area was closed for a private event, and the guests were not able to access the premises

The lake tour was incredible with a truly educated guide, the restaurant was incredible at every meal (waitstaff could not have been nicer), and the room was truly opulent with incredibly thoughtful cleaning staff. Truly a place not only worth the money but priceless in the amenities and kindness of its workers. We had an incredible trip and are now truly Taj loyalists! Pawan in the dining room was also incredibly helpful in directing us to a wonderful tailor at Shyam Arts in the palace walls.

The Taj buggy driver Shiv or Shiva has friends that he refers you to for rickshaws and they only take you to set shops where they get paid commission. It was infuriating because your shopping time is wasted. It’s a connection system. They’re all government shops that the rickshaws take you too. Not impressed with Shiva from Taj.

The buggy service is inefficient as well and so you waste further time waiting at city palace for Taj to come collect you.

Secondly:
I found it difficult to find where the steam room was where the gym was. it would have been good for the checkin staff to show you where exactly.

Overall beautiful hotel. The restaurant staff were the best.

Being a palace converted into hotel, it has challenges.. Three main things need attention:

2) Coffee and tea has not much variety in the room.
3) No Exhaust fan in the Bathroom (main issue)

In my view, this property is 4 or 4.5 stars best.

It’s a beautiful hotel by the lake and inside the historical City Palace. It was amazing to have such a beautiful, tranquil place just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of the city center. The decor in both the room and the property in general was really pretty and perfectly captured the nature of the city. Special dining experiences were truly unique. Service from the staff was great except for one or two instances. I would like to give a special shoutout to Himanshu at front desk who was extremely friendly and helpful with every single little thing that we needed.

Staying at the Taj Fateh Prakash was a wonderful experience. We received a free upgrade to the Luxury Suite with Sitout, which had a great view of the Lake Pichola and the White Palace.

The staff members were very professional and service-minded. Although the dining option was rather limited (there was only one restaurant), we enjoyed the beautiful view from the multi-cuisine “Sunset Terrace.” The breakfast buffet had plenty of options. We were also satisfied with the food, service, and ambience at dinner.

Please note that if you have mobility issues, this hotel can be a bit challenging. Also, since this heritage property is part of the City Palace Complex, the security is fairly tight, which can limit your freedom of movement a bit.

Overall, I would highly recommend it for lovers of heritage properties, lake views, and wonderful service. You literally get to stay in a palace, and can feel history come alive, especially with all the portraits of the Maharanas (kings) of the past. However, if you have mobility issues or place a premium on the ease of movement, you may want to think twice about this living museum.

Lovely hotel.

We stayed for 4 nights. The hotel is on the lake and stunning. Warm welcome and efficient. Everything was good. Room staff were so nice and looked after us very well. Hotel lacks evening atmosphere. Sunset bar was not a bar, just the restaurant. Nowhere to sit outside for breakfast or drinks. Not allowed in the pool area. The slightly annoying thing, was that every time we went for dinner or breakfast we were pestered by the staff to leave a review. Even offering to send a link and telling us their name. This happened daily at breakfast and also the 2 nights we ate in the restaurant. So annoying. Extremely loud Wedding discos in the neighbouring hotels, till 11pm. for the 4 nights. Although this can't be helped, it spoiled our peaceful break.

Would be wonderful at half the price

The room we ultimately ended up in was very nice. But the first room we were given looked nothing like the photos: there was only one tiny window at floor level and the room was very shabby and outdated. For $550, it seemed like an outrageous bait and switch. I asked for another room (which I had never done before), and lo and behold, a great room was available. But if I hadn't asked, we would have been stuck in a claustrophobic box.

Overall, the price is way too high for what it is. The service is fine but not great. Being in a historic building, there are few working plugs and the plumbing is problematic. The restaurant is only okay. The water they give you is in small plastic bottles, not filtered and sealed in reusable glass bottles like we got in nicer hotels in India.

The location is wonderful, and the view (if you get one) is spectacular. If it were half the price, I wouldn't hestitate to stay there again. But given that you can get a world class room for half that price in other Indian cities, I don't see how they get away with these prices.

Excellent property facing lake Pichola. This being part of the City Palace compound adds to its charm. Excellently maintained, outstanding service and scrumptious meals added to the overall charm of the hotel. View from the room was mesmerizing. You actually get to see the sunset from the room itself. Great stay. Nothing to complain about, except for may be some complementary shuttle service for senior citizens would be good to avoid the uphill walk while coming in and out of the City Palace Complex.
