    On arrival we were informed we had to pay the full amount in-cash which we had no prior knowledge about. Luckily our rep arranged for a money changer to come to help us.

    Our room had a beautiful balcony with amazing views over the lake. Our host Jassu was so accommodating and helpful and available 24/7 if required. He gave good recommendations for eating and drinking.

    In order to get to the hotel need to walk ~400 meters in the crowded streets. A bit expensive for India

    Very close to the city palace, very big and well decorated room, clean . Great experience to have breakfast in the roof near .the lake

    Beautiful Haveli hotel near Lake Picchola

    There is no elevator. You have to climb the stairs to the king room on the 3rd floor and the breakfast tables above it. This may be hard for some people.

    Superb location, superb service. Walking distance from the City Palace, Jagdish Temple and the Picchola Lake. Clean and economical. Jassu, the caretaker, helps with everything with a cheerful smile. Excellent view of the Picchola Lake from the king room balcony and from the breakfast tables at the rooftop restaurant. There is a restaurant opposite that serves good food and offers an excellent view of Lake Picchola. Overall, Raj Niwas is great value for money.

    It’s an amazing hotel, small, cozy, right at the lake and walking (5 min) distance to the main attractions. The view from the hotel is stunning. Good breakfast, room is authentic and very atmospheric. Clean, all the amenities. The service is very good, all the requests were accommodated in no time, very supportive and responsible. Good WiFi. Hard to think of any improvements (only maybe cashless payment methods).

    This small homestay has only a few rooms and is located right on the main tourist area in Udaipur. Our room was huge, very clean, with a large bay window that gave us a view of the tourist traffic and a glimpse of the lake. Color glass inlays that lit up at night made it very romantic. There was always plenty of hot water. Breakfast is served on the terrace with a wonderful view of the lake. You can choose to have Indian or Continental. The person in charge of the homestay was very nice and attentive and prepared the breakfast to our taste. He even went out of his way to prepare food we could take to our train journey as we checked out very early.

    I am not a fan of hard beds but then that seems to be very common in India.

    This property is located in the old city overlooking the Pichola Lake. Why pay more for a posh hotel when this place has everything you need? Jassu , the manager, is so attentive and attention to detail is excellent.

    Everything was perfect. Could not fault anything

    The host was very welcoming and extremely helpful when u have never been to Udaipur or even india. The rooms were beautiful, clean and cool on a hot day. Had a fridge in my room which was a bonus. Jassu was a perfect host and i will definitely recommend him to friends and i will definitely return to his hotel next time. The location is beautiful, peaceful and quiet. No horns allowed in that area. You wont regret staying here. The town is very clean compared to other towns. Jassu recommends you all the right places, tailors so u dont get ripped off but have the best quality. Definitely ask for Shakir the tuk tuk driver. He was so much fun and full of knowledge and i made some new friends in india now.

    Nothing not to like :)

    Raj Niwas has the perfect location, next to the City Palace. One of the highlights is the welcoming and super friendly Jassu who makes us feel just like we’re at home. Always available for everything and helpful with all our requests. The room was spacious and super clean. Breakfast was served on the rooftop with a beautiful view to the lake. One of the best stays in India. Totally recommend it. 10/10.

    Jassu (the manager) is amazing! Nothing is ever too much of an ask, he gave us lots of advice and recommendations and was always lovely to speak to. The room was the best from our whole trip to India. We loved the terrace, well worth the upgrade if it’s available! The hotel is in a lovely quiet little square with two good restaurants opposite and some lovely local shops. Overall it’s in an amazing position & we couldn’t recommend it enough!
