Total chaos. I paid for two nights when I checked in, but was told that I had to check out after only one nights. After I provided proof that I had a reservation for two nights, I was allowed to stay for the second night. Then after the second night, I was first told that I had to check out and re-check in and change rooms. Then after I was packed and ready to check out/in, I was told that they were trying to allow me to stay in the same room. The facility is charmingly rundown. Some other issues. No hot water in the shower. The restaurant waitstaff "accused" me of being a freeloader. Etc.

Our 1 Night and 2 days stay at the UK was phenomenal. The staff was active and helpful. I want to shout out for Santosh (HouseKeeping), Executive Chef during our stay, Bheru Singh (Office Manager), and other staff who have been interactive, watchful, and supportive during our stay. The delicacies and ambience was amazing. I would take Taj UKP during my second visit to Gwalior.

Great Heritage hotel

Great heritage property but use some modern amenities like central air conditioning as the rooms are huge and split ACs can’t cool it enough plus it’s cold during winters. The hotel structure is confusing as I couldn’t figure out where the swimming pool was despite asking for directions. I will still recommend the hotel as it’s a Taj property with Taj standard of service.

Another pearl of Gwalior

Excellent stay, very friendly staff and super food. But above all authentic palace which brings you back in time; great gateway to discover the heritage of Gwalior and chill out in the pool in the afternoon. Stay one night but wished I had booked one more. Extra point Taj gets for the croissants and jams at breakfast. Best in India.

Wonderful hotel

One of the best hotels I have been in this trip. Quiet, really beautiful gardens, highly professional staff, good food. Only minus point: last night selected a meal for one person, supposedly a choice of two dishes, + rice and dessert of the day for a fixed price. At the end, they charged every dish extra.
