Bundelkhand Riverside

Basic amenities and clean. Large rooms and bathrooms. Clean linen. Average toiletries. Very welcoming staff. Food tasty. The riverside room has a tiny balcony where two of us squeezed in for a stunning view of the Betwa river. This was the special moment for us. We spent most early mornings watching the mist rise. You could also here the rush of the water from the mini dam at night. Ps watch out for the monkeys. We were fortunate to have missed two weddings, one just before and one after. The tranquility would have been destroyed. A popular wedding destination by the Betwa river. Check when you book.

Bundelkhand riverside hotel in orchha is an excellent property, especially for those looking to spend quality time in a serene, picturesque setting. The location is truly impressive, situated on the banks of the betwa river, and the river is easily accessible by a short walk, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the surroundings. However, while the riverside location is perfect for relaxation, it poses a bit of an inconvenience for those who wish to visit orchha’s historical monuments, which are about 2 km away and not accessible by foot. Having your own transportation would be ideal to explore these attractions with ease. One area for improvement would be room allocation. Even though we arrived early, we were given a cottage without a direct river view. It would be more considerate if the reception allocated river-facing rooms on a first-come, first-served basis, to enhance the experience for guests arriving early who may expect a direct view of the river. And we booked room as a couple but we were not allotted double bed configuration but they provided two single beds joined together. The rooms themselves are well-kept, but the room service could use improvement. During my stay in a riverside cottage, i had to call the reception multiple times to replace a faulty electric kettle, and it was only resolved when i went to the reception myself and waited for 15 minutes. Additionally, the distance from the riverside cottages to the reception is considerable, making it less convenient for guests when issues arise. The hotel charges a premium price, but they should consider increasing the staff to better meet guest demands, especially in riverside cottages, where attention to service is essential. The pool’s location also compromises privacy, as it’s exposed to views even from outside visitors. Moreover, a large number of outside visitors due to wedding events affected the peaceful environment we had hoped for, which was disappointing. Overall, the hotel offers a beautiful and unique stay with excellent surroundings and ambiance, though it would benefit from improved room service, a fairer room allocation system, and more attention to privacy. For those planning to stay in the riverside cottages, i’d recommend confirming details about any events during your visit to ensure a peaceful stay.

Beautiful riverside cottage with an extra bed. The classic setup with royal feeling. Amazing food and prompt service.
