1. Food: They cook good food, deliver at rooms at no extra charges and in a fairly quick manner. No non-veg was a turn down for us though.
2. Rooms: Big spacious rooms. Decent in-room facilities (considering the room rates)
3. Hospitality: Well behaved hotel staff (all of them we interacted with)
4. Distance from Bird sanctuary: Stone throw distance. By car not more than 5-7 min (I usually drive quick)
5. Checkin/check out - pretty smooth. I had booked it through agoda.
Very pleasant stay

Hotel sonar havelli is a perfect place to go with family. Went there last week...very efficient and cooperative staff. Very good and big rooms with neat and clean bathrooms. Food is good. Must thank Mr. Brijesh for his cooperation.
A Decent and Austere Accomodation

Sonar Haweli is about a Kilometre or so from the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary. The exteriors are reminiscent of a heritage property, but the interiors are nowhere close to that. However, the rooms are spacious and fairly clean (washrooms need a bit better maintenance). The staff is kind, well-mannered and courteous. Washrooms have water that is too salty (not sure if that's the hotel's fault). The property has a fairly large parking space and an open lawn (be careful of the mosquitos at night, not in the rooms though, only in the lawn). The crowd is generally consisting of tourist families. We had to pay for the breakfast, as it wasn't included. We paid around ₹ 800/- for a hearty breakfast for 4.
All in all, there is nothing fancy about this place, but still, manages to give you a comfortable budget stay with a few glitches here and there (please do remember that there is nothing lavish or fancy about this place, hence, it would work in case there are no better options)
Nice

Everything is good exept two things:-
.the water is salty,not right for bathing or washing hands.
.the rooms are not so good,tv is so small.
Things which are good:-
Staff is friendly
.building is vintage
Etc.........
I'd rather skip it...

Purpose is interesting. You build up a big new structure close to the national park and start a business. If you look around loads of people are doing the same. Hospitality and tourism though require a bit more effort and care.
The point is that you cannot put dirty towels in the toilette and no cover sheet on the bed but just a blanket!
No payment by card accepted can be a huge minus for many guests during these times.
We give 2/5 because the restaurant was not bad for quality.
Plan/book in advance and get a better place; to be honest you can even consider to do the park visit during the day and then move to your next city to sleep over.
