A homely lovely Haveli in the middle of old town Udaipur close to all the street food stars.
Pros:

the haveli is like a alternate universe in the middle of old town Udaipur - it is lovingly restored while still feeling real. there are alot of details to love in the property and in the room. the resturant at the roof top are nice and casual - I learn too late that there are some rajasthanian special dishes that one can order ahead - next time. it is very much like a home stay rather than a posh Haveli. that is something that we found more endearing. The bed is comfortable and clean, the water is hot and nice in shower.

The location cannot be accessed by even a small 4 wheeler car, we had fun getting to the hotel via auto - the roads are too narrow for anything outside of bikes and auto. it is nicer to get to the hotel earlier in the afternoon rather than when the market is in full swing.

It is literally 2-3 min walk from the street food stars of Udaipur in the old town for me - Paliwal Resturant, Roop Ji Nastra, Lala Misthan Bhandar, Raju Bhai Rabdi Wala. the location is never so good ever if street food is your thing.

Cons:

the level of street noise is notable but manageable - and it quiet down as the market outside quiets down.

In the room - the curtains and day bed mattress seems dusty / dirty and it could be nicer. the room is clean and bedding is fine.

Great stay!
Pros:

Breakfast was included and delicious. Owner was very helpful in all aspects. I stayed for 8 nights in the end as I extended my stay, felt right at home.

Cons:

Only things that could be improved are things the owner has no control over; noise at night and dogs fighting at night - ear plugs are provided and do a great job!

要保護這些歷史建築是不簡單
我很高興能入住

Cons:

員工可以再細心一點,
熱水不太足夠

什至突然停水了

Wonderful stay in a historic haveli with very helpful staff. Would recommend.
Pros:

Great location, in walking distance to all the main attractions. The owner was extremely helpful and responsive, arranging taxis, tuk tuks, airport transfer, restaurant bookings. The property was old and historic with lots of character. The restaurant was excellent and very good value. Indeed we ate out at the Leela Palace (fine dining) and whilst the Leela Palace’s Sheesh Mahal’s food was excellent, it was also very expensive. I actually thought the food at the Haveli’s restaurant was nicer (and a lot cheaper). I would definitely recommend trying the restaurant if you’re staying here. You can also get a beer or glass of wine with dinner. The staff team are all very friendly and helpful. The room had fresh towels and the bed made each day by room service. Also fresh bottled water in the room each day. There was a good selection on the breakfast menu which is included in the room price. The coffee was great at breakfast.

Cons:

I personally found the mattress very uncomfortable (I have problems with back pain and the mattress made my back pain increase). I would suggest a new mattress or maybe a hotel mattress topper would help resolve this. Also the day bed area in the room, the cushions were a little dirty.

Very happy with our stay. Would definitely come again.
Pros:

Beautiful old Haveli in the center of town. Easy walk to everything. The staff are amazing - friendly and very helpful. They have a very nice rooftop restaurant and the food is excellent.

Cons:

Due to the nature of Havelis, the accommodation is a little more rustic than in a brand new hotel. The charm far outweighs that issue in my opinion.

Very hospitable staff and felt like home
Pros:

It is located in the heart of the old city and conveniently close to all attractions. Mr Divya took personal care to ensure that we were comfortable and also to help organise experiences within the city

Cons:

It was nice. It is a very old bungalow converted to a hotel so I am sure that there are limitations with that but they have done a very good job about it

Location
Pros:

The location is within walking distance to Lake Pichola. The room was appropriate for a short visit in the heart of everything. The bathroom was a good size, with tub and shower accommodations. The staff was very helpful and went overboard to make us feel welcomed.

Cons:

We would suggest the option for more air ventilation in the room.

Must visit to experience a heritage, rustic property stay in the heart of old city Udaipur
Pros:

The heritage rooms were designed beautifully with a rustic charm. What made our stay memorable was the friendliness and hospitality of the staff. Special mention to Narendra ji who was on toes for any of our requirements and also helped my husband plan a beautiful setup for our anniversary. We are very grateful for that.

Cons:

The room that we booked had a leakage in the bathroom some issues with wifi, but they did provide us an option to shift in another room

Definitely overpriced for what it offers
Pros:

The hotel has good potential

The location is convenient

Staff was friendly and always tried to help

Cons:

Definitely overpriced for what it offers.

There is no control knob/gear/handle for the bath drain stopper. This makes the bath tub pretty unusable as you can't drain the water yourself, but you have to call someone from the reception.

The shower is "open space" (there is no cubicle) and rivulets of water flow from the bathroom to the bedroom as there is a little ramp between them.

Bed linen and towels were worn out and had stains.

The room had some tiny coloured-glass windows which could not be opened or closed as they were behind a glass panel. As a consequence, the air was dusty and stuffy. One of the windows was right above the bed's headboard and there were no curtains, so the light would shine on us in the early morning and wake us up.

The location is pretty noisy.

There was no security exit.

Food was overpriced - we ordered a lamb dish which was more expensive than average, and it turned out to be mainly bones only with very little meat. The staff was slightly pushy.

Half of the sockets not working

We stayed in one of the "suites" which is as big as a standard bedroom. The dimensions are shown on Booking so it was not a surprise for us, but still we think it's a bit misleading.

Beautifully preserved haveli with the charm of rajputana yester years. Staff is wonderful!
Pros:

Breakfast had limited options. Shaheen and the chef were extremely warm and kind, but the food itself lacked a hotel breakfast experience one looks forward to, and for the price you pay for this stay it felt underwhelming. My recommendation to the owners would be to develop a more extensive breakfast menu as well as offer a buffet style option.

Cons:

The room amenities and toiletries were also underwhelming. There was no vanity kit, no cotton pads/ Q-tips, the soap/ shampoo / quality was okay at best; there was no body wash in the room. There also is no coffee / nespresso machine in the room for travellers who prefer to take coffee in the am.
