Hotel Aravali — Hotel in Alwar

The room was very clean and well appointed. The staff were very prompt, polite and well behaved. The hotel is located in a stone's throw distance from the railway station. Autos are available at the station. They charge about Rs. 50/- to take you to the centre of the town. For those who'd like to have a swim, there is a clean pool. The car parking in front of the hotel can accommodate 4-5 cars at the most and if you request the guard, he can arrange to have the car cleaned for about Rs. 50/-. Complimentary breakfast can either be buffet or a-la-carte and the fare could include Poori-Bhaji, Idli-Sambhar-Chutney, Dosa, Aloo Parantha, Chhole-Bhature, Poha, Bread Toast etc. I found Poori-Bhaji to have been cooked well (not oily at all) and it tasted good. Cheese omlette - which one can order as part of the complimentary b'fast, is also made well. Aloo Parantha too is fine. However, I very strongly recommend avoidance of South Indian food. The idlis were stone like, sambhar too sour and the chutney bland and tasteless (taste differs from person to person. I have lived in the South for 8 years and hence, am too picky). I did try chicken biryani as well. Quantity-wise, it was alright, but taste was so so. Personally, I cannot stand bland non-veg dishes. Others may like it. Chhole-bhature should also be avoided, as the bhature tend to be too oily. I did wonder, if they can make pooris so well, what was the issue with bhature! Beware of the photo frames in the dining hall falling on you. If there is strong wind and the door on the far side of the dining hall is open, and you are sitting next to a photo frame that is not hung on the wall but has been put on the sill close to the table, it will fall on you. It did on me. Luckily, these are super light and I was not injured. Recommended for couples, solo travellers - for business as well as...

Siliserh Lake and Palace

One of the top attractions in Alwar is the Siliserh palace, which is situated close to the renowned lake of the same name. This was formerly a royal hunting lodge built by Maharaja Vinay Singh for his lovely bride Shila in 1845. Later, it developed into a complete palace.

The lake provides a lovely picnic area and an opportunity to practise sailing. The palace is now a heritage hotel, making it one of the most significant things to see close to Alwar and one of the top locations in Rajasthan to visit in January for a memorable trip.

My experience here was a mixed bag.. Property was good but no proper maintenance. Negative points were: No lift but it was okay as luggage was carried by service boy. Too many mosquitoes but there were repellents. No nearby market or restaurant. So only option to eat is inhouse restaurant. Walls were damp and peeling off. Towels given were very old, better to use as mop instead of rubbing on body.

Good points: Staff was good and helpful.Reported issues were fixed quickly. Reasonable price for standard rooms. Close to alwar station if someone wants to...
