Neemrana's - Deo Bagh

It's a quirky, old fashioned place. We were lucky to stay in two of the upstairs heritage rooms but that meant climbing a tall, thin stairwell. One room had two twins that made sleeping together as a couple difficult. Buy a big mattress! The other was lovely and charming as was the first but the hot water situation wasn't great. The gardens are lovely. The outdoor tea on the lawn while limited was charming. The food at the restaurant at night not good for us. At breakfast they were willing to accommodate me and put out sautéed vegetables and that was lovely. Anish at the front desk is a charming and sweet person. I love the look of this hotel a lot but it could use a little work like fixing the shower to keep the hot water flowing. The pillows were great. Loved the birds and the peacocks on the lawn. Exploring the Gwalior fort and some amazing surrounding temples was wonderful.

The property is charming and clean. A boutique property with just 16 rooms, beautiful gardens, exotic birds (we saw grey hornbills), peacocks, centuries old beautiful buildings such as the baradari in the middle of charbagh, the cenotaphs deep in the garden all add to the unique charm of a hotel in a historic city. The rooms are clean, comfortable and aesthetically done up. The staff are warm and hospitable. Food, simple but good. The fresh produce of the properties gardens adds a special touch.

Neemrana Gwalior was one of the best places we ever stayed in India. We would highly recommend this to one and all. The poignant setting reminds us of all of the beauty that was India. Gwalior is a chaotic small town but this place is a gem. The care with which these buildings have been redone and maintained is truly commendable. The staff were very courteous and the cooks were wonderful. The food was delicious. They even had high tea in the gardens. The gardens are surrounded by small temples from the 16 to 17th centuries. The gardens attract a variety of birds including peacocks. We look forward to returning to this place again for a longer stay.

Location is not very central but a sprawling property with lots of open space was more desirable than just the location. This property is very nice for a laid back holiday where you can relax and enjoy their good hospitality. The spread for breakfast is wide and ranging from continental to Indian and the alacarte menu is also decent. The quality of food preparation is commendable.

Very well spread out. Lovely grounds with peacocks, peahens and squirrels running around. Rooms were large and they have left them with a lot of old world charm. The staff were extremely courteous and attentive.
