Amoraya - A Lake View Heritage Haveli - Old City Udaipur

Ontbijt en hygiëne bed

There is a huge disconnect between the way the property markets itself and the reality. The catalogue in the rooms talks a lot about slow living and luxury, but this is not a luxurious stay location. Though the building is beautiful, it isnt accessible by car, and you cant call a Richshaw/Tuktuk there via Uber or Ola, so you need to walk to the edge of the old town if you want to go anywhere else. The sound insulation is non-existent, and the restaurant which is close played karaoke until 11pm every night, which wasnt great as we were travelling with our young daughter who couldnt sleep. The staff did say we could move rooms, but when you have paid for a suite, and you have the option to move to a small interior room with no windows its not exactly enticing, we ended up just leaving for elsewhere. When we went to breakfast there was no-one there to serve, and it took a long time to even get menus, let alone for the food to arrive.
The route to the bathroom in the suite was so low and narrow that I had to bend over and walk sideways to get to it. As many of the windows had no glass pane, no doubt a historical feature, to keep the room cool the air conditioning blasted cold air right into your face in the bed.

I think if we were in our 20s and diddnt have a child, it would have some old world charm, and these things wouldnt matter as much. But it should really be marketed as more a budget adventure option than the luxurious language used by the property. It seemed like there was also renovation going on, and we could hear the sound of power tools during the day.

worst hotel ever

Since it's more of a boutique haveli stay, it could look like it's tucked inside a lot of windy narrow corridors. Taxis don't reach there, so you might need the complimentary pickup they provide from chandpole parking. However this is the same for any haveli in the area so not really a problem.

All’arrivo non avevano registrato la nostra prenotazione da Booking.
La seconda stanza che ci hanno assegnato era discreta mentre la prima, che avrebbe dovuto essere un upgrade, non era all’altezza, soprattutto il bagno con tutti gli accessori rotti, in più per andare sul wc si doveva passare per un cunicolo battendo la testa…La colazione insufficiente come servizio e qualità.

Le vibe e l’atmosfera della struttura sono molto diverse rispetto a quello che si percepisce dalle foto, la realtà purtroppo non ha quell’aspetto “luxury” che invece si vuole far percepire.

Non è che ci sia qualcosa che non va o di particolarmente negativo…è che le foto su booking sono talmente editate e fatte bene da far maturare un’aspettativa che poi viene fortemente delusa dalla realtà.

I found room small , it could be more spacious irrespective of amenities and room type

nothing , we loved everything

We booked a lake view room but did not get one! Had a very bad view or some building .
Also maybe a bit more space around in the room is helpful to keep your luggage and stuff, or a chair to sit. The room we stayed also dint have any wardrobe to keep your stuff which is not helpful
