Returned to Ajit Bhavan after 26 years, now with my 21 year old daughter. We were greeted with flowers honoring my return and upgraded to a stunning luxurious room in the palace. All the staff were gracious and made us feel welcome and honored as a return guest. This is a beautiful warm and cozy palace where luxury is mixed with authentic grace and charm.

We look forward to returning.

Nice gardens. Room was nice but quite dark. None of the windows could really be opened. Spa is very basic. One room! I think more 4star than 5. Staff were great.

this is a palace with part of the property inhabited by a royal family memeber.
The rooms were exquisitely decorated and the lobby and common areas are amazing/sumptious. The food was great; the gym very good and the only drawback was the freezing pool! But it was january!
Great hotel

Just beautiful

Booked for 2 nights, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The gala dinner, though expensive was excellent, music, dance, food, drink and service was exceptional. We stayed in two of the luxury \"Tents\", which had all the amenities of a normal room and felt special. Close to shops and some restaurants, walking distance. Impeccable hotel, beautiful. Salon near by, really good gym. Winter so pool was out, but too cold in the evening.

Luxurious and comfortable stay

We had a very nice stay in Jodhpur and Ajit Bhawan was exquisite. The stay the food and most importantly the service. Everyone took great care of us. In particular special mention must go to Byom Singh Ji who took extra good care of us and created an excellent dining experience. Would come back again.

Shower did not work for hot water despite calls to front desk, technician visit and running it for 30 mins. Front desk essentially gave me an excuse saying they do switch it for early morning (was showering at 6.30am).

We had a vintage suite at the property. The room has no windows and the reality doesn’t do justice to the photos on the Expedia site. The room had large ants. Never had that experience at a five star before. The food was only the saving grace but that’s true for any place in Jodhpur.

A really great heritage hotel in Jodhpur. Beautiful grounds with a very nice and well kept pool, friendly and welcoming staff, a spa, and on site restaurant with an incredibly large and diverse menu featuring 24 hour room service. Rooms were clean and well stocked, laundry service was quick, and the food at restaurant was very good, and i can be picky avouy my indian food!

I recommend without hesitation and will be staying there again on my next visit to jodhpur!

Such a beautiful hotel. Jodhpur itself is so charming, and filled with wonderful people, sights, and history, and this hotels fits in perfectly. The rooms are immaculate, as are the grounds. The pool area is something to behold.
We loved the overall ambience of the place.
All of the staff were so hospitable. We will definitely be back.

December(New Year) Trip

Amazing stay. Booked trip for family and everyone enjoyed thoroughly. Pool was closed which was a shame. Property is clean, green and well maintained. Breakfast (included) was sumptuous and tasty with both veg and non-veg options. Resort restaurant had lunch and dinner menus (paid separately) which were fantastic. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
I would however advise on 2 things..
1) Improve your customer response system. No one seems to reply to either calls or emails about the reservation.
2) For the Christmas/New Year party, do inform patrons about the separate charges (₹11000 per person this year) before they make reservations. I am sure guests would appreciate knowing before hand that they need to pay money for these mandatory parties, on top of room charges.

A heritage hotel alright but the room carpet need not be antique. The room had carpet which was down right dirty. No room slippers for guests. Required as the floors seem dusty.
Overpriced rooms. However, staffs are very courteous and ready to help at any time.of the day.

Jodhpur weekend

I made a side trip to Jodhpur from Jaipur. Travelled by train after many years , and stayed at a palace converted into a hotel, the Ajit Bhawan. Lot of atmosphere and old world charm in the hotel, with many artifacts and paintings from the association with the Jodhpur Royal House. Some things you cannot replicate in a modern hotel chain - old world charm is chief among them.

Nice Property but the service was the poorest

Location : Centrally located and very close to the major touristic attraction.
Property : Big and nicely maintained property with good decor.
Rooms : Clean and big but the bed was way too soft and the room is not at all sound proof , we could hear sound fm other room / outside specially the train sound making it hard to sleep.
Food : In room dining option was way too less and they were not willing to cater to any special request. we had a 4 yr old child with us and struggled to order in room dining for him. Restaurant again had a wide spread but it was out door making it hard to have dinner in cold winter nights with food getting cold very fast.
Service : The poorest we have ever come across , the staff never greated the guests , during breakfast it was hard to get any one's attention even without the restaurant being full , things like ordering masala dosa took ages to come and when it came it was plain dosa instead , after our 3 nights stay we just gave up on asking the staff anything.

Charming green oasis in a bustling vibrant city!

Beautiful property - old world charm of Rajasthan done just right, one meanders around the garden paths enjoying the nooks and crannies of the layout of rooms, cottages and tents. The gardens and greenery are lovely. Service is excellent and the food is very good too. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Rajasthan = Land of Kings!

Pure Luxury. Ajit Bhavan is a real regal experience and truly lives up to the royal heritage where it is situated. We stayed in the luxury tents which were elegantly furnished with all conveniences. The food at the restaurants was some of the best in Rajasthan and so was breakfast. The villas are beautifully situated in a village-like theme with quaint alleys and a rustic decor. The evenings are particularly enjoyable with live music and even stroll around the campus is bound to be memorable.

Immaculately maintained historic city center hotel

I chose this hotel as the last stop of our Jodhpur-Jaisalmer tour as it was closer to the airport for our flight out (although Jodhpur is a relatively small town and any place will probably be fine). We arrived at night and the property grounds were beautifully lit up, like a desert city Disneyland. Even though it's in the city center, the property is securely enclosed and has a sense of exclusivity. The hotel grounds are immaculately maintained and no two buildings or rooms look alike, they have blended art, statues, etc. seamlessly amongst the meandering walkways and landscaping. Dinner was held outdoors, the vegetarian fare was average but the laal maas (local spicy mutton dish) was one of the best I'd had and apparently they have a reputation for that specialty, well deserved. They featured dancers and music at dinner time, not quite at par with what we had in a desert camp, but nice nonetheless. Our room was palatially well spaced, with a separate seating area and plenty of bedroom space. Although the property is neither in the desert nor in a historic part of the city, the hotel itself is arguably a destination unto itself and well worth a stay.

Perfect Location, Amazing Staff

The hotel itself is even more beautiful than expected and staff here are incredible. They helped us navigate a monetary crisis in the country as well as provided a great overall experience. The only negative: the beds were two single beds pushed together. Aside from this, the entertainment and food were good (try the Rajasthani Thali restaurant). I would highly recommend.

Nice Hotel for a night or 2. The rooms need a bit of updating but ok. One thing we were unhappy about is our coffee experience. We arrived late in the afternoon and sat around the pool relaxing. We were approached by an attendant asking us if he could bring us coffee. We said OK and he duly brought us an ? Americano and a cappuccino. Some 10 minutes later, a further 2 arrived even thought we had not ordered them and thought perhaps they were complimentary?? We were somewhat surprised at checkout to see they had charged us 845 rupees ($18NZ) for what we thought were the 2 coffees we had ordered, but obviously they charged us for all 4 - or maybe not? Is a coffee really that expensive in India?

For India Quality this hotel is first rate

This is an easy and convenient hotel to use. It is clean and efficient with a nice touch or days gone by and a lost era but with modern up to date facilities. It could use a faster internet for the business traveler though.
