About 21/2 hours drive from Ahmedabad to wards Mt. Abu. Stop here if you have the time to be with yourself just take a Halt. We went with the family on our way back to Ahmedabad in Jan 2012. Its a heritage property now converted into a hotel. The place where Amitabh shot for Suryavansham. There is nothing much in... More

Far away from the so called civilization, 21/2 hours drive from Ahmedabad to wards Mt. Abu. Stop here if you have the time to be with yourself Dont list what they dont have, just cherish what they have. Want to listen to the birds humming in the morning, a distant cry from the fox at the middle of the night.... More

Decent rooms and very friendly staff Well maintained property and decent gardens Monsoon would be the best time to visit Best to visit when with groups rather than visiting with just small family Food is good but pricy No fridge in the rooms and no alcohol served; 205 platinum suite is far better than any other room ( even the...

BALARAM PALACE The Balaram Palace is the perfect place to escape the mad roads of Gujarat. Fantastic gardens and wonderful views. Clean rooms with hot showers and unique toilet flushing - but I will leave that for you to discover. The staff are pleasant but the food is mediocre. It is edible and the portions are fine but stick to... More

I visited this place in January. First strange thing about the hotel is they charge you for even a site visit, its very nominal though around Rs.100/- per person and they give you one coupon of the same amount which can be utilized in their restaurant. Food menu is very very high priced so we thought it would have a... More

Good for one day trip but hotel stay is quite expensive, for one day. Food is ok, nothing too great about it. Service is good. Cleanliness is good Garden and view is really Great. Good for day picnic. Near by tourist spots, Ambaji, Danta and Mt. Abu. Its more of relation or for a break.

Balaram Palace, just off the Abu - Palanpur Highway in northern Gujarat is a magnificent edifice overlooking the mighty Aravalli mountain range in the midst of a jungle. A perfect place to spoil yourself and your dear ones since the place is so very serene and majestic. Built between 1922 and 1936 by Nawab Sir Taley Muhammad Khan Bahadur,and immaculately... More

The rooms are spacious and clean, and everything works. No luxury but the building maintained and the gardens are manicured. The food is another thing; I can't remeber when I ever had such bad meal. I know, it's vegetarian here, but the dishes where realy horrible; it was like they used pounds of sugar in most of the dishes, and... More
