Nilambag Palace Hotel — Hotel in Gujarat

Stayed at this hotel for 1 night.This hotel was recommend by my brother and few relatives that live in the city.||Over all the hotel stay was ok.|The main reason to stay here was, so looking forward to see the peacocks,they come here in the mornings Unfortunately I could not see even one 🙁.||I wanted to stay in one of the suites,they only had one left in the corner,which had an old AC with so much noise, so stayed at the Royal Cottage.||Liked the over all ambience,I loved the swing out side, The garden was so beautiful.|Loved the breakfast (Specially the Gobi paratha)||Room for improvement |1) washrooms needs a big time improvement,I understand that the hotel wants to maintain the heritage look,but definitely it does not attract 5 star clients, Restaurant Washrooms did not have Tissue paper, Hand Soap were in ordinary bottle, There was one big green towel, every body used that after washing hand ( I think this was gross, specially keeping COVId in mind).||2) Rooms at the Royal cottage were ok,it almost looked like you are in “Dharam Shala” the bed was not comfortable at all. The room had a very rusty/mouldy smell. I had asked the room service to change the blanket to something like Rajai/or alternative and they said they cannot offer me anything else. The blankets gave me an extreme cough (due to my allergies)|Again not too impressed with washrooms.||3) Restaurants: Ambience was good, servers were amazing, the food was not that bad,but was expensive. Interesting thing was during dinner and breakfast they did not have appropriate cutlery(No knife)They did not provide (serviette) hand cloth towel. I feel this should have been the important part of the Royal Resturant.||I am hoping that the hotel management will consider my...

Nilambag palace is an old palace of the King of Bhavnagar, which was converted into a hotel. Hotel owner have succeeded in maintaining the antique look in all aspects in terms of exterior and interior look of the hotel. The artifacts, curio, paintings, furnitures etc will surely take you to a century back...

Though it is a palace hotel, the asset is equipped with all modern amenities like WiFi, swimming pool, bath tub, satellite TV, news papers, laundry, AC etc.

Most important point is that this, may be the only hotel in Bhavnagar serving Non-veg in restaurant. Food (veg/non-veg) is too yummm and is priced a tittle on the higher side, but is expected from a star rated hotel.

The hotel has maintained green and luscious lawns, garden and play area too. Peacocks are also seen in abundance in and around the garden.

The hotel has got a vast parking area and drivers room is also available free of cost..

Overall my stay at Nilambag Palace was a good...

The city of Bhavnagar is located in the Saurashtra Region of Gujarat. In the heart of this bustling urban is the beautiful Nilambag Palace Hotel. In the year 1879, Maharaja Saheb Takhatsinhji of Bhavnagar commissioned the German architect, Simms to design the Nilambag Palace that for generations has remained the home of the erstwhile royal family of Bhavnagar.
