OYO 38841 Anandam Palace

tour company made a mistake and put us here for few hours before moving us on, so we didn’t spend a night. However the room was clean, there was air con and fan and the bed was comfy, staff were understanding and very friendly. Hot water and shower were good and it was about 10 minute walk to the centre of pushkar and all the shops. Reasonably priced also.

We came to Pushkar for Holi and had a really good time spending a lot of it here. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to help you. They also enjoy socialising with the guests and help create a good vibe in the hostel. The cafe upstairs serves some amazing dishes (defiantly try their cashew curry - its amazing!) and they serve drinks too. We were mean’t to have a room booked but it didn’t get booked by our driver so the hostel was full when we arrived. The manager was helpful in sorting out the situation by offering us basic accommodation at a reduced price of 400INR per person. Unfortunately it meant we were sharing a bathroom with a lot of other guests which was a bit grim since the sink didn’t work and leaked water onto the floor. The Wifi was also a bit dodgy but this might have been due to the high number of guests staying at the hostel for Holi. Overall, great place to stay for Holi and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Excellent guesthouse and very good prices. Rooms are all with AC and hot water, very nice rooftop restaurant with great food. Laundry service, bike on rent, money change, camel safari is also possible. The crew is awesome and will do everything to make you feel home. Because some people Complaints about low wifi signal, Suri (the boss) changed the wifi router to a bigger one the next day and it worked great! Next time in pushkar, im coming back for sure!

This place has for potential in a couple of years when it is complete. It does not have a roof top restaurant as this is being built. The drill was going, there were power lines out of the roof and walls, and it was very cold. We just wanted to relax and the gardens are more mud than garden since it’s a construction site. Check back in a year to see what people have to say but I would pay a max of $8 dollars for the room here. ||||The restaurant they recommended over the river was beautiful! Great views of the lake, top floor and peaceful. Try this instead. I can’t remember it’s name.

We arrived in Pushkar late and took the first hotel that our driver proposed to us, which was a mistake. First it is kind of isolated (you need to walk in the dark by night to find your way back). Second one of the room was really too humid and the pillows and bedsheets smelled like mold. The showers didn't work properly, when we could use them after waiting until 10.30pm to get our towels (we were told to wait 5min which stretched up to more than an hour after repeated insistance on our part). The worst was that when we finally got to bed a birthday party of some staff member started and the loud noise prevented us to sleep until ~1am. Overall it would have been acceptable for a very cheap hotel but we paid way too much for what we got.

I was brought to this hotel by my driver on a private tour. There were many tour cars outside so I presume drivers are on commission to bring people here. ||||I was due to stay for 2 nights but checked out to go elsewhere after 1 night.||||Only the ground floor is in operation - the 2 floors above are a construction site (Jan 19). My room was basic but just about adequate but it was cold and noisy. The WiFi is slow as well. The hotel is about 10 minutes' walk from the lake, on a road with a lot of other hotels. But the road is dark and uneven for the last half. ||||Don't stay here - even as a budget hotel it's not worth it and there are many other better hotels for the money.

The rooms have poor showers and are not in range of WiFi. The staff was inefficient and many spoke only small amounts of English. They were always confused about the bills for food. The food service was slow, even by Indian standards. They were also out of towels. To their credit, they were friendly for the most part, but I cannot recommend this hotel, even considering the price.

Amazing hospitality I stayed at anandam palace last week for 2 nights ! It was really comfortable staying there, felt like staying at home, hotel was very clean, calm having beautiful garden, a nice a clean restaurant, we ate a lot since food was amazing, really fresh and hygienic, they allowed everyone to go and see the preparation in kitchen. Ravi a north Indian guy managing the hotel, he served and taken care of little small things in a way that we really enjoyed staying ! also he organised a evening 2 hours of entertainment with tea and snacks at the camel safari desert spot and that place was a mango trees orchard with beautiful lawn, that activity was really very touchee, since he himself came there and we had very good knowledgeable talks on Pushkar history and what all things to see in and around pushkar. In all i must say amazing hospitality ! Thanks to Ravi and his team ! Sameer Delhi, India
