Hotel Monarch Rama

Orchha


Rooms here are cleaner and more appealing than at most of the budget competition, and staff are friendly too. Sheets are clean, the bathrooms don't smell, and there are even Indian miniature prints on the walls. No natural light, however, except a little in the two air-con rooms, upstairs, where there's also a small restaurant.
