6
stars!!
Ambika
Nivas
Palace
Let’s
start
with
the
bad
things…..
ok
we
can
end
there
and
now
move
on
to
the
great
things…
Upon
arrival,
treated
as
royalty
by
the
owners
who
are
actual
royal
blood
lineage!
We
were
met
by
the
hotel
owner
and
greeted
as
royal
guests.
We
did
a
quick
tour
of
the
palace
itself
and
discussed
some
of
the
amazing
history
behind
the
building
and
its
heritage.
Before
arriving
I
had
many
reservations
especially
as
the
surrounding
area
is
very
rural
and
my
perception
was
very
restricted.
As
soon
as
we
walked
in
that
perception
went
out
of
the
window.
We
stayed
in
the
Royal
Suite
at
the
palace,
let’s
just
say
it
definitely
is
royal
standards.
The
main
room
is
enough
to
sleep
7-8
people,
the
room
comprises
of
a
master
bedroom,
separate
dressing
room
that
leads
to
the
huge
bathroom.
The
facilities
within
the
room
are
perfect,
blending
in
the
historical
original
walls,
doors
and
windows
with
modern
touches,
tea/coffee
facilities,
fridge,
etc.
The
service
provided
by
the
staff
and
owners
is
exceptional.
Breakfast
is
a
mix
of
continental
as
well
as
Indian
traditional.
The
lunch
we
had
was
finger
licking
good.
Just
couldn’t
eat
anymore….
Grounds
are
amazing
with
peacocks
and
many
other
animals,
the
courtyards
and
green
spaces
are
great
places
for
a
cup
of
masala
chai
and
a
book.
The
grounds
security
and
gate
keeper
are
very
friendly
and
utmost
attentive
to
needs
at
anytime
of
the
day.
We
spent
7
days
in
the
most
idyllic
stately
palace
that
still
remains.
The
history
in
the
building
has
been
preserved
and
maintained.
The
doors,
windows
and
walls
all
ooze
heritage,
royalty
and
elegance.
The
hotel
is
one
of
historical
artefacts
that
have
stood
the
test
of
time
and
are
being
restored
by
the
Parmar
family.
This
hotel
is
not
your
everyday
city
hotel
with
walls
that
have
no
life,
staying
at
this
hotel
makes
you
step
back
into
history
and
get
a
glimpse
of
how
the
princely
state
Kings
lived.
This
is
no
ordinary
hotel,
in
fact
it’s
not
a
hotel
at
all,
it’s
a
historical
Time
Machine
and
most
importantly
a
home.
We
have
had
an
amazing
time
at
the
hotel
and
will
most
definitely
visit
again
to
gain
more
knowledge
of
the
local
history
of
Muli
and
the
once
Princely
State.
Kudos
to
Ranjitbhai
Singh
Parmar
and
his
entire
team
for
providing
us
with
the
opportunity
to
stay
at
their
home
and
we
will
visit
again.
Haribhai
the
ever
attentive
waiter,
Mahipal,
the
sourced
for
anything
you
need.
Mradhima
for
her
amazing
hospitality
whilst
we
were
there,
and
also
along
us
to
steal
her
husband
each
time
we
were
chilling
in
the
palace
for
talks
and
anecdotes
from
the
days
gone
by.
Thakor
Saheb
Jitendra
Sinh
Parmar
spoke
very
eloquently
about
the
building
and
the
history
and
it
was
very
interesting
g
to
sit
and
chat
with
him
to
get
a
glimpse
of
his
life
at
the
Palace.
Lastly,
how
could
we
forget
Cairo!
Cairo
is
the
family’s
dog.
He
was
loved
by
all
the
guests,
especially
our
daughter
who
grew
very
fond
of
him
and
in
return
He
of
her.
He
would
bark
as
soon
as
he
saw
her
coming
out
of
the
car
or
the
hotel.
