I stayed at this hotel a couple of years ago and paid an absurd amount of money, only to have the exact same experience you described in the video. It was far from luxurious. The place was so poorly maintained that the furniture was falling apart, and I couldn’t understand how it received such high ratings.
Luxury is not one of the things that the owners have focussed on - same as the Neemrana Fort (700 year old fort) - missing on any luxury. Both are beautiful forts but I suppose it costs a fair deal to keep these out of the way fort/hotels going. Also depends on the season your visit. Monsoon season is not the time for these forts.
Thanks for sharing.... but they advertise this as a luxury property.. and it's more about design aesthetics that it is luxury. Some of the best places I've stayed around the world are not luxe, but have something intesting about them. here, the interior design seemed to strip the fort of it's true character. IMO. Thanks for commenting
@@SwankGuideAgreed, and providing prompt service is not dependent upon the monsoons or their absence. The managers seem quite clueless and ill trained.
I don't agree with the opinions on the interior. What do you expect? these are historical buildings and are preserved in there original state. Modernized by present day luxuries. Not all forts are made in the same dimensions. For me, visiting and staying in a forts like this is an opportunity to experience and learn how royals of the time, lived in these particular area. I do feel these fort hotels miss on big point and I wish some one would give them a suggestion. When it comes to Food options, they should always serve local dishes (beside the continental meals) too, As in Rajasthani Cuisine that tourists would love to experience.
we're all entitled to our opionions... but I stand by my view that the designers here missed a big opportunity. My reviews of the RASS Devigarth and Six Senses Fort Bawara are examples of old forts done right.

Thanks for confirming I'm not crazy.... high ratings, so much travel advice is gamed I think is the answer.
