MPT Sheesh Mahal, Orchha

We were really looking forward to this hotel. And while it’s in an amazing location and has a whole lot of faded charm, it fell short of expectations. It is very dated and not being cared for at all. Having said that the food is very good in the restaurant which it popular with people visiting the fort.

Het personeel was vriendelijk en het eten was goed (de selectie softdrinks was beperkt). De kamer ziet er mooi uit bij de eerste aanblik, maar is zeer toe aan een opknapbeurt. Vooral de badkamer was gedateerd en vies; er was ook geen warm water aanwezig. Al met al een prachtig gelegen hotel dat de hoge prijs echter niet volledig waard is vanwege het achterstallige onderhoud.

The rooms are good but there is zero privacy. Considering it is slam bang in the middle of the fort and the whole day, tourists are milling around.

Excellent location with royal palaces around. All the major attractions within 10 mins. It is a family friendly place

The property is breathtaking. The staff are polite and well mannered. The food is one area of improvement. Fell ill after consuming it. Taste wasn't too great either. Worth the money.

Had booked the Maharaja Suite, and another suite, for two nights. The suite was very spacious, but primitive, dark, dingy, dusty and infested with mosquitoes. Left after one night. Did use mosquito-repellents but did not change clothes for the night, and did not shower in the morning, because did not want to offer more skin to the mosquitoes. Will never again stay at a 'heritage' property or at a property managed by a quasi-government organization in India.
