The Kumbha Palace hotel is a charming and very relaxing hostel in the middle of the old city, run by a Dutch/Indian couple. Because the hotel is situated about 100 meters from the main road it is very peaceful. All spacious and light rooms have attached toilet/shower with running hot shower. Air-cooled and AC-rooms are also available. There is a gorgeous big garden and an excellent roof-top-restaurant with views on the old city and the city-palace. Specialities: delicious oven baked pizzas, gratins, baked potatoes and a variety of vegetarian Indian dishes. The owners (Dinesh and Francine Jain) also run the Krishna Ranch for excellent, professionally guided horse-safaris in the beautiful surroundings of Udaipur. Horseback-riding is an excellent way to see the country-side and traditional Rajasthani village-life. The ranch is situated in the Aravali-mountains (7 kms. from Udaipur-city)and very peaceful. It is also possible to stay at the ranch in nicely decorated rural cottages. Horse-safaris are possible for 2.5 hours, 1/2 day, full day or more. For more information go to:www.krishnaranch.com. Both the hotel and horse-safaris are recommended in many travel guide-books (Lonely Planet, Rough guide, Guide du Routard etc.)

Good location in the old town and with the free pick up you can avoid the headaches of dealing with the commission driven rickshaw drivers.

It's not in the centre of the town but actually that's a good thing as it is calm and away from the hassle. Only 10 mins walk though. Lovely garden to chill out in and good breakfast on the roof terrace. Staff very helpful in organising bus trips.

Lovely garden to chill out in and good breakfast on the roof terrace. Staff very helpful in organising bus trips. Don't expect much of a lie in as any conversation at reception is audible. Also window locks are not the most secure but you are up from ground level and not on the streetfront.close

Fantastic, very nice and kind people and place to stay. Would rather stay here than lake palace. Truly fantastic. Taxi driver for long distance not as good...dropped at places where he could get comission and wanted extra tip for services. Have already recommened the place.

Cheap but not great - rooms 204/5 should be avoided as they are next to the reception area where people meet and hang out. 'Bathroom' in 204 was attrocious and also had cockroaches. Pay your money, take your choice!

We had a great time in this spot. Also did the horseriding on the ranch. Was fantastic. Would recommend the rooftop restaurant - views fantastic, food great, atmosphere relaxed. Staff friendly and helpful. Lots of great efficient services - laundry, internet, tours organised, massage...

This was a lovely place and the staff couldn't do enough for me. The curtain rail did break though and the bathroom had muddy footprints. Also the dog next door kept me awake the first night but the next night the hotel staff asked them to keep it indoors and I didn't hear a thing.

The horse safari they run is excellent and great value for money.close

Dinesh and Francine are wonderful hosts; they are just the kindest people.close
