Heaven on Earth”
My fiancé and I stayed 2 nights at Taj Lake Palace. We flew in from New Delhi arrived Udaipur pretty early and checked in at noon. The arrival experience at the Jetty was very welcoming. The private jetty for Lake Palace guests is remarkable. It has a nice rest area, and the boats tag always available for transfer to the lake palace. Everyone is so courteous and trying to providing best service possible. Check in was done at the jetty and in no time we were transferred to the hotel. On arrival we we greeted with rose petals showered down as we get off the boat and walk to wards the entrance. We were indeed treated as royals. Check in was super speed and the staff were very welcoming. Rahul the GM made sure everything was perfect and made us very comfortable. Great news when we learnt we were upgraded to a suite, best news and I just it better. The room was decorated with rose and yellow flowers arranged from the door to the living room. The brought us a cake and sweets for us. So touched by Taj's hospitality and service. In the evening, we had dinner at the hotel, indian food of course, enjoyed the service and hospitality. Next day we went for a day tour and some shopping. Transfer both ways were excellent. No time is lost... Breakfast experience was outstanding. The staff takes a lot of initiative and remembers what we liked and ordered them for us the next day. Awesome!!!!. We really enjoyed Taj Lake Palace. It has a very deep impression for us and we hope to visit again. It's truly a paradise..in every sense of the word. I would like to thank the team at Lake Palace of taking care of us so well. I must say that in the 10 days we were in India, Taj Lake Palace experience was the best, nothing came close.

Amazing Location”
The Taj Lake Palace Hotel is located in a magnificent location. It has views of all the lakes surroundings including the Udaipur City Palace. The lake is now full whereas a few years ago the drought had dried most of it up. So it is currently spectacular. It is a very grand old building with lovely restuarants. The hotel was a feature in the movie Octopussy. The hotel has a great pool and a good gym. A sunset cruise from the hotel is a must, to view other amazing buildings and sites of Udaipur.

WOW”
Had the pleasure of attending a friends wedding in India. After the wedding 10 of us (including bridge and groom) decided to do some travelling. Udaipur was one of the cities we visited. Wow, this place is steeped in history. Staying at the Taj Lake Place as a true highlight. On arrival we received the royal welcome with rose petals. We were upgraded to room 101, with a view of the city place and corner aspects, great room. The staff all knew our names and where friendly and chatty. The hotel itself was a former summer palace of the royal family and is located in the middle of the Lake. In saying that it's still very easy to access the city, the boat is 24/7 and there is always one on hand, never had to wait. Food was very good and offers both local fair and international. The hotel was used in the James Bond film Octopussy and has the film on loop 24/7, must watch when you are there, so funny. Hope you all like it as much as we did.

Prepare to be treated like royalty”
We stayed at the Taj Lake Palace for 2 nights to celebrate our anniversary. From arriving at the airport where we were welcomed by a hotel rep and shown to a car, to the time we left where a hotel staff accompanied us on the boat to drop us off at our next destination, the hotel's service was just amazing. While I've stayed at many great hotels around the world, I've never received service like this - this is now my favourite hotel in the world! What is amazing is that the service is consistent at all levels of staff - from the reception, to the chefs who come and greet you while you are enjoying your meal, to the bartenders, to the pool boy. The Palace itself is amazing - one of the most romantic settings in the world, coupled with the romanticism of a bygone era. My favourite part of the stay (if I had to choose one), was taking the boat cruise around Lake Pichola followed by sitting at the bar where there is a dance performance next door - the atmosphere is just amazing. While the experience is not cheap, it is totally worth it! Go splurge and experience the amazing Palace!

WAH TAJ !!”
My stay was just amazing at the Taj lake palace. At first, one would definitely think that this 5 star hotel is expensive, but let me tell you that this place is worth every penny you spend for it. They make you feel like a king. The location of the palace is in between the lake, you get a private jetty ride to reach the palace which makes you feel really exclusive. Everything was top notch - the amenities, the staff, food and drinks, Rajasthani performances etc. Every corner of this place is so royal and beautiful. I would recommend this place to everyone at least once in your lifetime. Do come to Taj lake palace and experience how the royal kings lived. Would give 10/10 to this place :)

An Unforgettable Experience”
I stayed for 2 days at this hotel - with my wife and 12 year daughter. Right from the airport pickup - A/C SUV, cold towels, water, et. al - till we got dropped back - it was an experience of a lifetime for us - as I believe it would be for anyone. Admittedly (and surprisingly), it was our first experience staying at a Taj hotel - yet, we left convinced the Taj Lake Palace had to be a cut above all other Taj hotels as well!! The BEST part of the hotel was the staff - attentive to our every need, helpful and courteous at all times, and ready to go beyond the norm to help us with a great experience in everything we did - from having lunch in our own private balcony outside the bar to a complimentary meal to a meeting with the chef who gifted us the recipe book containing many of the delectable dishes we ate at the restaurant. The unexpected flute performance, the anticipated cultural show and the rose-petal flower shower when we arrived - all of these and more ensured we had a wonderful stay.

The stay was awesome! We enjoyed thoroughly.”
We had the most memorable time at the Taj Lake Palace. The location is very scenic and the view from the room was magnificent. Though Agoda goofed up our bookings by having only 1 occupant per room and we had to pay extra, the hotel made up for Agoda's mistake by giving us a lake-facing room. The view from our room was just amazing! The staff was very courteous and helpful. The only thing we did not like much was the food at the Indian restaurant which was not up to the mark. But overall, the experience was awesome!

breathtaking hotel in an amazing setting ”
it was great experience to stay at the hotel, which is floating on the lake. you must have dinner on the loof top restaurant. it was serene and beautiful temperature with lights across the shore, overlooking the entire lake. I found out that I could get a better deal directly reserving from Taj site, and it was super irritating to change the reservation via Agoda, which tried to charge one night that could cost me US$700! luckily, Taj hotel agreed to postpone and it was settled. Do reserve from Taj directly for these expensive hotels. Agoda is just not flexible at all.

Magical experience”
This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in anywhere in the world. The location of the hotel in the middle of the Pichola Lake provides breathtaking views over the City Palace and the surrounding mountains. We had a special dinner at the Mewar terrance, which was particuarly memorable. The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was clean and beautiful. If you visit Udaipur, I would strongly recommend a stay in this hotel, if only for just one night.

What a place, what a Palace.”
From the moment we arrived at this palace it met each and every expectation we had. The food and wine were varied and fairly priced, the food at the breakfast buffet was delicious and had a wide choice. We ate at the Indian restaurant and this was beautiful and the staff very attentive. Bar staff were outstanding as well, offering beautiful cocktail food whilst watching the dancing and music. Wonderful entertainment with regional dancing and music each night and the guided tour and history of the hotel was fantastic. We received an upgrade to a magnificent suite and when asked why they stated "because we can". This was an amazing experience and if you go to Udaipur this is a very clean city and the Palace is the star in the crown. Thanks to all staff, from house keeping { so clean} to all management. We will highly recommend to friends and colleagues. And we will return.

How do you describe a dream”
One day I may wake up and realised I dreamt it all. From the moment you arrive on the jetty, are driven by motor launch across the lake and the showers of rose petals drift down you are somehow separated from everyday life. Everything is magical - the staff work tirelessly to make sure you never for a moment catch a glimpse of the mundane. We were incredibly lucky - agora upgraded us from another hotel because of an error on their part and then Taj gave us further upgrades - but the quality of food and service, and the sheer beauty of the hotel and it's surroundings would shine through however much one paid. Staff obviously really care about making the residents's dreams come true. A lovely lovely experience that will stay with me all my life

Feel like Royalty”
It's a special place unlike anywhere else. Taj service is at its finest- the word "no" isn't in their vocabulary and all the staff knew us by name and did everything they could to make our stay exceptional. Dinner in the Indian restaurant was phenomenal. Having been featured prominently as a setting in "Octopussy", the martinis were fittingly excellent. Try the Udaipur Martini and the one with curry leaves. The pool is so luxurious- the loungers are like beds and the setting with the pink flowers against the white marble is stunning. We treateed ourselves to an afternoon on the hotel's spa boat. It was a special time we will remember for the rest of our lives. It's not cheap by any means, but if you're going to be in Udaipur, this is a place worth splurging for!
