Could be better

Our overall stay was good, but the hotel lacks any atmosphere. The main restaurant is quite dated and in the evening it is brightly lit. By dimming the lights it would feel more cozy. However the staff were lovely and food was very very good.
What was really annoying was that if you wanted to sit outside for dinner, they force you to eat a huge set menu. I did complain as I didn't the indoor restaurant and they allowed me to eat from the a la carte menu.
The rooms were a little dark, but traditional and well maintained. The bed was not great and the pillows need to go into a refuse bin as they were that old and flat!!
We would probably not stay at a Taj Viventa brand again, it does not compare to the other Taj group.
Location of the hotel is fine, close to the town and very cheap in a cab or rickshaw to get around.
An invigorating stay

We were there for a whole four days. Mr. Vijay, the General Manager to Ms. Sreedevi, everyone was most solicitous and caring. A very warm Mr. Mahipal with his great meal offerings, which were fabulously appetizing. A very warm send off by Mr. Chawla from the front office with his very thoughtful present of a bag full of snacks and water for the drive back to Noida.
My only wish is that when we come next we are welcomed by the same people.
Spectacular experience and staff!!! Treat yourself!!

Staying at this hotel was a sublime experience, both due to the quality of the facilities as well as the professionalism and responsiveness of the staff. It was also wonderful to see women as well as men having leadership and management roles - and being visible to staff in this way. From the welcome on arrival to the thoughtful anticipation of needs to the restful sleep, complete with pre-sleep foot bath I cannot speak highly enough of this experience. The pool is divine for swims, the spa for a post flight massage, the food is excellent, the quality of the room is superb, the staff are attentive and engaging and the provision of business facilities makes it easy to work and do business, or to enjoy the many sights in Jodhpur. Don't miss visiting the Palace, it was a highlight.
Great service, noisy & expensive

The staff are wonderful. If I could rate them separately I'd give them 5/5. But the hotel is tired and noisy for the price. A new expressway has just opened next to the hotel and the windows aren't yet double glazed. It felt like sitting in traffic in the room that we were originally given. They swapped me to a pool room and it was fine. But then I made the mistake of outdoor dining and because I'd already become agitated by the traffic noise, couldn't enjoy it. I thought by the photos this was the place to relax, but because of the noise of the new expressway, I couldn't. I should have stayed longer at the Haveli in Udaipur - that was tranquil, in its own right and by comparison. Also, I paid $250 usd/night compared to $50 usd/night at the Haveli, so I just couldn't feel good about that.
Lovely hotel - great rooms!

We stayed three nights here and overall a lovely hotel
Reception when you arrive is really nice, warm greeting , drink and flowers. Rooms are first class- all with good views, wifi , big and loads of storage space.
Restaurants- it has two/ main restaurant is buffet style and very extensive with wide choice of Indian and European foods and a very good Asian restaurant that most people don't use(?).
Nice complimentary tea at 4pm.
My only gripes would be the time to get lunch. Food excellent but we waited 45 minutes for our lunch after we ordered . Also the pool is excellent but poolside tiles not clean !
Overall a hotel we would definitely recommend
