“I loved it.”
After arrival I got a flower necklace, ice cold water per my request and a welcome drink – freshly squeezed pineapple juice. The stuff was lovely, the room clean, and the views! Oh, the views! Such a beautiful place to experience Udaipur.

“Great location in old udaipur especially if you want to join in Holi”
The view was incredible. You don't have to go on a boat trip to see sunset just reserve a table at the rooftop restaurant. The staff were so helpful.

“Highly recommended for a stay with a traditional vibe !!”
A beautiful and elegantly designed property along Lake Pichola with clean, comfortable rooms, very polite and helpful staff, lovely lake-facing restaurants, and a must-do boat ride from Dudh Talai. Highly recommended even for a night in Udaipur.

The location is excellent. It’s in the old city and on the lake. The view from the rooftop is great in the day and at night. It’s an Instagram perfect hotel. People come from all over just to take pictures here. The local food is excellent. I would recommend that over trying different cuisines.

“Well worth a stay here!”
Beautiful hotel right on the Lake with excellent views - very comfortable with an excellent breakfast included in our rate. An early start on leaving say we were unexpectedly given a breakfast bag which was a very kind gesture.

“Reliable, affordable stay.”
We recently stayed overlooking Lake Pichola, and overall had a wonderful experience. The location is absolutely unbeatable-right on the lake, with stunning views from every corner of the property. Breakfast overlooking the water and surrounding palaces was something special. The rooftop bar are definite highlights. The atmosphere is relaxed and a place to unwind after a day of exploring. The rooms are generous in size. The staff throughout the hotel genuinely friendly and attentive. While the property has incredible character and heritage appeal, it does feel like it could be truly exceptional with a bit of refresh in certain areas. That said, the overall experience-location, views, hospitality and ambiance-more than make up for it. I would happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to anyone for a lakeside stay in Udaipur. By the way it might be the most instagramable site in Udiapur, almost overrun.

“A stunning lakeside location for this heritage hotel.”
Arrival by water taxi was unexpected and enjoyable. This attractive heritage property was located in a perfect area with great views over the lake. A stunning lake backdrop. The restaurant was reasonably good and OK value for money.
