This is not really a hotel but a conference centre in what was originally the servant’s quarters of the Rambagh Palace, which is now a very luxurious hotel. The large rooms were furnished in faded splendour which looked as if they had been left by the British when they left India. We had a balcony, a sitting area and our... More

SMS is indeed a guest house. It comprises of a series of room on either sides of a corridor. One series of rooms overlook a small well-maintained garden and the other on to the restaurant. This is inside the premises of the Rambagh Palace but the guests from SMS are not happily welcome in Rambagh Palace. There is practically nothing... More

Well situated and benefitting from adjoining the gardens of the Rambagh Palace hotel next door. However, though the staff are very pleasant, they are rather chaotic. If you need to change money, you will be accompanied to the Palace - worth doing. Additionally, as guests of the SMS, you can dine next door. There are three choices: a train in... More

A lovely spot with surrounding gardens.Large attractive rooms, clean, but food and service leave much to be desired. Food choice is limited , restaurant service is very slow and sometimes confused, coffee took till the end of breakfast to appear, took staff 10-15 minutes to find me a laundry bag, after first bringing me a tea bag !

I was not sure about going to this hotel, as the reviews were not so great. We really liked the hotel. The hotel is located just next to Rambagh palace which is one of the best hotels in India.I think some people feel that SMS hotel is the servant quaters of Rambagh palace.(actually it was used by the army of...

It is hidden treasure. Excellent property nestled in expansive lawns. One of the quietest hotels that I have stayed in. Rooms are large and pleasant. Bathrroms spacious and clean. The only thing that one misses is the lack of a couple of restaurants. The hotel has only 1 restaurant with somewhat limited choices of food. Absence of tandoori preparations is... More

The hotel is situated quite a way from the action in Jaipur, so for me its not really a tourist hotel. The best thing about it is that it's situated next to the Rambagh Palace and is part of the Taj group, although when I asked if they could get a brink at the Palace, since the SMS doesn't have...

I stayed one night at the SMS hotel and had a really pleasant and comfortable stay. It's quiet and unassuming, especially compared to the luxurious Rambagh Palace hotel next door. The staff were friendly, room was clean (although the carpet could do with a bit of a scrub), the food at the restaurant was also good. The breakfast was simple... More

We went to Jaipur in May 2011 with Family and stayed at SMS Hotel, which is a Taj Group Property. It was a best deal we got and the facilities were amazing. We stayed for 3 Nights and 4 days. Overall it was a nice experience. We'll definitely come back and stay in SMS for sure.
