Amar Mahal

A princely palace from the end of the 18th century 1 km from the city center, 100 m from the river Betwa , surrounded by chhatris and cenotaphs (burial monuments) that make up the landscape and give it the ancient side. Beautiful architecture, beautiful gardens, beautiful swimming pool, but icy welcome. "Passport", Namaste and welcome would be warmer. Welcome drink coca cola , you can expect a fresh fruit juice in this kind of establishment and flutist who plays Brother Jacques as a welcome. Hotel frequented by foreign groups and local weddings. An ambulatory with small lounges at each corner leads to the bedrooms. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, with fan, quiet air conditioning, mini fridges, flat screen TV, water bottles, kettle, tea and coffee available. Our kettle is leaking, it's useless. The wifi does not work in the room, only at the reception and a little less at the restaurant. Breakfast buffet of the same kind as all establishments that host groups, Indian dishes and pastries. The bathroom is dilapidated, the bathtub fitted with shower has no gasket, hence water seepage. The linen is clean and a little dry. Porters wait outside the door of the room to rush on the luggage and receive a tip for the 10 meters traveled between the room and the reception. It's beautiful, no more... A princely palace dating from the late 18th century, located 1 km from the city center and 100 m from the Betwa River, surrounded by chhatris and cenotaphs (funerary monuments) that contribute to the landscape and lend it an ancient feel. Beautiful architecture, lovely gardens, and a lovely swimming pool, but a frosty welcome. "Passport," Namaste welcomein our hotel would be nice. Welcome drink Coca-Cola; one might expect a fresh fruit juice in this type of establishment. and a flautist playing "Brother John" were offered as a welcome. The hotel is frequented by foreign groups and local weddings. A walkway with small lounges at each corner leads to the rooms. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, equipped with a fan, quiet air conditioning, mini-fridges, a flat-screen TV, bottled water, a kettle, and complimentary tea and coffee. Our kettle leaked and was unusable. The Wi-Fi did not work in the room, only in the reception area and somewhat less so in the restaurant. Breakfast was a buffet, the same as in all establishments that cater to groups, with Indian dishes and pastries. The bathroom is outdated; the bathtub, converted into a shower, has no sealant, resulting in leaks. The linens are clean but a bit rough. Porters wait outside the room door to snatch luggage and collect a tip for the 10 meters they walk between the room and reception. It's nice, but nothing special.

The Amar Mahal is a beautiful historic property that is a quiet and calm oasis. The grounds are expansive and well kept and we enjoyed the outdoor pool while we were there. The rooms are comfortable and well furnished, with personality- no corporate boxes. The on site restaurant offers good dinner choices adn abreakfat buffet. The staff is excellent and very helpful

Beautiful hotel, old palace converted into hotel, welcome and pleasant staff, not smiling at the restaurant, colonial style rooms but aging, we had 2 rooms next to the massage room, quiet with a private terrace, beautiful pool, Ayurvedic massage, crush for the very nice flautist, beautiful overview of a nice park.
