The stay was nice and property is very near to the temples. The property was understaff due to off season. We needed some basic medicine urgently in the middle of night but front desk couldn’t assist. Resturant staff and service is great but the prices are way too high.

Upon arrival our family check in was smooth. My wife and I were greeted warmly. The front desk staff was helpful in planning our activities. Restaurant food was above average and many choices were available. The room was clean, and bedding was clean and comfortable. The big negatives are conditions of bathroom plumbings, tubs, sinks, patio door, furniture, and bed side table lamps.

Good hotel, but need to improve Wifi service
Wifi was awful. It just did not work. I called up the manager and he provided Jio portable service. Even that did not work Can not believe that such a hotel could be so indifferent in providing Wifi. I was on a pleasure trip, but had to attend to some official work, but lack of Wifi spoiled our stay.

Property was ok and staff was humble. The only thing which is not ok was the food pricing which is a major drawback for the hotel. Its almost 10 times costlier than other 5 star hotels in KHAJURAHO. This leads customers to go foodouting in local hub which is similar to hotel quality and reasonable also. With costly food and heavy taxes imposed i don't think anyone wants to stay longer in this hotel. Actually it's Dissapointing 🤔

Nice hotel needs better food.
The grounds and room where clean, comfy bed everything worked but I had to change rooms. The AC in the first room smelled like mildew once we moved to another room it was fine. The food was not four star quality, the food was dried out, asked for no chili’s or pepper got the dish full of pepper. Took 20 mins to get served any dish. Even the buffet breakfast was dried out food, the hash browns weren’t hash browns at all, the scrambled eggs dried out , etc. Had to leave the hotel to get better food. The fruit wasn’t even ripe. The price for a beer was obnoxious even at a 4.5 hotel I stayed at in Agra they didn’t ask those prices. I know the retail prices. The service staff very nice and helpful. My only complaint is the food quality in the restaurant. Very nice pool.

Excellent hotel with great facilities. Very clean and modern. The pool is large and so good to use after a day exploring the temples. Wear shoes as the concrete gets very hot. Great bar and helpful bar staff. The room service food is also very good as is the breakfast in the restaurant. My eggs were cooked perfectly every day. Highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for a relaxing oasis in Khajuraho.

The hotel staff were very courteous and helpful. The breakfast spread was delicious. Room service was quick and friendly. The hotel could consider free pick up and drop facility to the airport and the railway station on request. As it would greatly reduce the anxiety of the guests.

A very nice place to stay in Khajuraho
The hotel is in a great location, just far enough from the center of town to be quiet, and close enough to walk. Khajuraho is the cleanest town that I have visited in India, with wide streets and sane-ish traffic, making it very walkable. The rooms are comfortable and the hotel is immaculate. The breakfast buffet was very good, but the dinner buffet, which I tried once, was sub-par. The food from the kitchen was very good and the wait-staff was wonderful. Khajuraho has fiber optic internet, and the internet at the hotel was better than most. Khajuraho itself is a great place to visit, and I highly recommend it. You can fly there from Varanasi and Delhi. If you want to visit the Tiger Reserve, its best to book you ticket months in advance.

Radisson Khajuraho
A typical Radisson hotel overseas. Good service, clean and comfortable rooms. Free WiFi. The restaurant was nice, the food was average. Like the hotel deco, the lobby was bright and comfortable. The hotel is in the area where most hotels are, but wandering outside the hotel doesn't seem a good option.

Nicest Radisson I've ever stayed in
This was one of the most personalized check-in experiences I've had--one of the hotel's managers personally greeted us, and we were given moist towels and a glass of juice directly on being welcomed into the lobby (both of which were quite welcome on a hot, humid day). The staff all went out of their way to provide excellent service, whether it was the front desk, the bar, or the restaurant. Unlike some large hotels in India, there was just the one restaurant, but the food quality was good. We did not use the swimming pool, but it looked clean and inviting. The room was very good, the shower a bit older but clean and in reasonable working condition. Overall, a very good experience.

Taj Khajuraho
Excellent overall, but the restaurant offering was quite pricey and buffet choices were not as extensive as other Taj hotels. We did however got an upgrade to a junior suite which was lovely! (But they only give one key and as the suite is essentially 2 rooms link together - this means only one side of the suite can be lit up until we got 2 keys) The hotel is also situated slightly far away from the city centre (though close to airport), so it will be a slightly longer Tuk Tuk ride (if they are outside the hotel) to non-hotel based restaurants

Courteous staff in a good location.
The rooms were clean and comfortable. The only improvement needed was with the bathrooms – they look ready for an update and the shower walls could have been cleaner. But hey, you’re in Khajuraho – check out the local sites not the bathroom tiles, right? The restaurant is nice with a good breakfast and dinner. Although we didn’t use the pool, it looked refreshing and the patio provided a nice place to sit in the early evening. Monkeys watched us from their perches on the wall and birds filled the trees in the evenings and early mornings. The staff was very accommodating and courteous. We were greeted upon arrival by perhaps every person working there with an unforgettable, very warm welcome. Throughout our stay, the staff was quick to offer assistance and ensured our stay was perfect. The town of Khajuraho is small and you can walk to all of the temples with ease. They have a walking map available at the desk. We arrived on the afternoon Jet Airways flight from Delhi/Varanasi and hired a driver to take us to the three main complexes. The following morning, we chose to walk through the town to meet the people and see the town more closely. The townspeople were wonderful. The hotel has a small set of shops next door, and was a great spot to pick up some souvenirs. I was happy with the choice to stay at the Radisson Khajuraho, and recommend it to those traveling to see the area’s amazing temples.
