NEVER NEVER stay here unfortunatly for us we hadn't had wifi for a couple of days so did not check the reviews of this hotel.They caught us unawares on the train as well, Everything previously said about these people is sooooooo true. The pressure to go on his camel safari was intense. We did actually refuse to stay in SamRAT'S... More

I can't believe I let my guard down here! After travelling for 4 months, I should have known better! This place is a filthy, disgusting dump with lying, cheating staff after one thing... Money, money and more money! They are so disrespectful and as soon as you arrive they put the presure on to do a safari. We agreed to... More

Never let your guard down in India, true. But we were tired, dirty and smelly after 6 weeks continuous travelling, and took the advice of the Samrat's supposed "sister hotel" in Jodhpur, Kuku, that this was a cheap, clean and welcoming place to stay. Sadly not. Within minutes of arriving, we were given the hard sell for camel safaris by... More

Like most of the other reviewers for this hotel, we were recruited on the train. The hotel sounded like an ok deal, and we didn't have any real plans. We were taken to the hotel, and found if to be dirty and uninviting. The guy who picked us up at the train kept trying to get us to book a... More
