Hotel Pratap Palace Reviews, Bharatpur

For the beautiful sleepy town of Hotel business is a charity. The season is 5 months in a Year. Pratap hotel is outstanding by those limits with well maintained property, good service and good food. I salute their dedication. Birds were a treat. They all posed as in a Fashion Pageant.

The hotel is mainly catering to overnight halts. Not suited for long stays. It has frequent power cuts with no back up during days. Very poorly maintained bathrooms & torn linen. The food serving is slow & serving size too low. Upside is spacious lawn & proximity to bird sanctuary.

The best part of the hotel was its location. Very close to the sanctuary. The breakfast was also nice. On the negative side the heater was not working. We changed 3 rooms just to reach a room where everything was working. Also there is only one extra electric sockets in the room. Hence charging phone, camera batteries was a trouble. Bird sanctuary experiece was great. We were lucky to find Raju Singh, who is a cycle rickshaw driver inside santuary for last 30 years. He is very good guide too and made our bharatpur stay a delight.

I visited this hotel in Oct 2011. It's located just few hundred meters away from the bird sanctuary and around 10-15 minutes away from the Bharatpur railway station by auto. Condition wise, the room was clean but the bathroom wasn't very clean. I had a nice breakfast with aloo paranthas, the bad thing is that everything is overly priced, even the mineral water costs Rs. 25/- even though the MRP is Rs. 12/- , if this is your first trip to Bharatpur then don't have high hopes as its a poor village, I struggled to find a single clean non ac restaurant if not ac, forget pizza outlet and malls. I believe that all the hotels near the sanctuary must be over charging as tourists don't have any option of eating outside the hotels. All the hotels mentioned on Make My Trip are close to each other so one can try another hotel, otherwise it's a good option plus high food price.

Recommended for budget travellers.

Given the town, it's a good pick. Area of concern is food.

It is one of those not entirely satisfying experience. The room was very little furnished, had to ask even for the extra blanket and pillow. There was no heaters in the December cold weather. The toilet seat was broken and I almost fell off. I even had to go personally to the counter to get water for the rooms. The most disappointing was the quality of food. The price was very high while everything was literally floating in oil. I am saying yes for recommendation for the sole reason - its location to the the Bharatpur santuary. Otherwise give it a skip.

We stayed for one night here. Located few min walk from the bird sanctuary the hotel impressed us with its look and interiors. However we were dissapointed to see that no room service was available. The food is not upto the mark. We could not get any dish of chicken though the menu boasted of almost all variety of chicken items. Over all a good place to stay as staff are very well behaved and cooperative.

The hotel is good value for money. Its basically a simple no frills attached hotel. Service is good and prompt. But, food is little expansive. Overall I would say it is a good venue for people who are looking for one/ two day stay at budget hotel.

Location is excellent as one can easily walk to the sanctuary. Food in the restaurant was ok, however service could have been a bit quicker. The hotel was good value for money.
