Amet Haveli - A Heritage Hotel Udaipur

This hotel is an absolute gem in Udaipur. We were lucky enough to have a room which was at water height, so had a fantastic view of the lake. The room also included reading areas next to the view. It was clean and comfortable and they cleaned it every day. The restaurant was amazing - lovely food, great cocktails and very friendly/helpful staff. Although you have to spend at least 4000 rupees to sit on a table nearest to the lake, it is not necessary as you have a lovely view from a couple of tables back anyway. The pool area was nice and relaxing after a busy day and not at all green as some of the reviews said. Would highly recommend!

Lovely hotel/ room etc but the bed was unbelievably hard and painful to not sleep on. We had to check out and relocate to another hotel. The beds are not of international standard and will only suit people who prefer to sleep on concrete. We tried all methods to soften the bed with extra duvets to no avail. I believe it has been recently refurbished with these new mattresses.

We enjoyed a very clean, comfortable corner suite room with a balcony affording a wonderful lake view. Breakfasts were good with excellent dosas made to order. The restaurant was very popular for evening meals so if you wanted a lakeside table you had to agree to spend 4000 rupees… There was always an abundance of friendly and helpful staff .. often too many hovering. The hotel is ideally situated for walking to the city palaces easily. Our car was not allowed to drop us off at the hotel so a tuk tuk ride was needed to transport us from the drop off point. An experience in itself!! The tranquil setting of the hotel pool is a bonus although beware of mosquitos ! A beautiful hotel to enjoy Udaipur.

We had booked a suite which was on the waters edge with a double aspect view and it was amazing. Unfortunately after a heavy rainstorm water leaked in by the electrical switch and we had to move for our second night. Staff dealt with this very professionally and quickly. Our second room was equally as amazing on the second floor with a large balcony with fantastic views. We feel this Haveli was let down by the restaurant, although very popular with locals. Breakfast on our first morning was very basic as it had to be served inside due to the weather. No cappuccino's were on offer as the machine was outside in the rain! Compared to the following morning the selection of dishes on offer was very limited. Evening meals were ok but the sticky plastic menu book was a bit off putting. The situation of the Haveli was great for independent exploring of the old town and for just sitting and admiring the view of the lake and historic buildings.
