Hey there! I recently visited Bundi for three days and had an unexpected change of plans when our hotel booking got canceled due to overbooking. Luckily, we stumbled upon Haveli Uma Megh and decided to check it out. The owner, Mr. Mehta, gave us a tour of the rooms, and we ended up choosing one with a shared washroom. Initially, we only planned to stay for a day, but we were blown away by the breathtaking view and the warm hospitality of the staff that we decided to upgrade our room and stay for the rest of our trip.
The location was amazing, and we could even see Naval Sagar from our room on the upper floor. We loved the on-site restaurant, the Garden Cafe, where we enjoyed delicious meals with a stunning lake view. They had limited but secure parking available for both cars and bikes, which was a huge plus. Another great thing about the property was that most of the popular tourist spots were within easy reach. We were able to visit the Taragarh Fort, which was just a short walk away, and there were plenty of cafes and restaurants in the area to choose from.
I do want to mention that the Haveli Uma Megh is an old haveli converted into a guest house, so don't expect luxury accommodations. There is also no lift, and the stairs can be a bit challenging for elderly people due to their height. However, the stunning view and excellent location made up for any lack of luxury. All in all, I highly recommend Haveli Uma Megh if you're looking for a unique and memorable...
Read moreThe place could be beautiful, but it sad to see what the owners are doing to it: dirty (when we arrived there were condoms in one of the beds), a lot of dust, the community bathroom also super dirty. We were some people and because of their mismanagement, and one day asked us to move in the rooms together (and my friend had to move within an hour, because other guests were already waiting), even though they confirmed before that we could stay until day XY. The other guests told us, they booked 10 days in advance. On our last day we asked if we could extend for two more nights and one person said yes and later in the night someone else came and said we need to move out the next day. One of us was really sick, so it was super exhausting for her to move. They didn’t handle the situation well, but blamed us for it. Don’t eat the food there. Small portions, not tasty. Would be a dream place if they would put more love in...
Read moreMy third time in Bundi, but first time at this guest house. Stayed 11 nights.
Friendly and professional people. No unpleasant surprises or hassles.
Seems to attract longer term and repeat visitors.
Rooms are old in a good way and have plenty of character and some come with great views.
Garden is amazing and doubles as a restaurant that offers better-than-usual-tourist-place-food.
Fires warm up both the guests and atmosphere during the cooler evenings and days.
The area is - by Indian standards - quiet at night. Chai and samosa are always close by, as is the palace.
Both the linens and mattresses have seen better days, but the value is very, very good here. The shower in my room was pretty much non-working, but hot water bucket was easy...
