Hotel Maharaja Ganga Mahal

Visited with family. Heritage look and vintage collection made place very great . Food menu is very good with non veg and veg section . Drinks also available. Nice place for family and couples. Foreigner tourists also visit this place frequently.

I stayed with my family in this heritage hotel for three nights over Christmas recently, and I had a fantastic experience. Despite it being Christmas, it was not too crowded. (My perception is that tourists prefer Jaisalmer over Bikaner.) So it was very relaxing. Although property is not huge, it’s very elegant, not unsurprising given that it used to be Maharaja’s property. Corridors have beautiful paintings and classic furniture and mirrors. Spacious lawn and swimming pool with chairs to sit around. Rooms are spacious and it easily fit in an extra mattress for one of my 2 children with still ample room left to move around. There was a balcony with the room. There was also a small refrigerator in room which is not there even in some 4 star hotels. Housekeeping service was fast whenever we requested for extra water bottles, towels etc. They can upgrade the selection of their toiletries though. There was Lux brand soap. These little things give a premium feel otherwise. Booties were local low quality. Variety in breakfast was less but food was tasty. The manager was also helpful in getting outside food (pizza etc) heated and packing some bakery and bread for kids on our departure to Jaisalmer. Among the best part is its location. It’s next to chowpatty and we went there twice in three days, enjoyed boating, horse ride water roller and bungee for kids, and snacks, chaay. It seemed like a happening spot for city residents. People coming in evening just to chill out and even doing photo shoots. Hotel is also at walking distance from the fort.
