This is an Old Theatre converted into a Hotel and Club, with rooms, a bar and a restaurant.
The retro architecture and design philosophy of the property is nostalgic and would take you back to the Bollywood of the '80s. That said, the need for immediate maintenance work and upkeep is apparent.
The food we tried was good - fish fingers, chicken Caesar salad and pepperoni pizza, the servings were decent too - absolutely no complaints.
I must make special mention about the Restaurant/ Hotel Manager, and Miss. Komal - the Receptionist, for their courteousness and behavior towards us. They were good.
Now, coming to the reason why the overall experience was let down - it was because of our Room - room number 110, and the date was 07.05.2022 - one will understand the kind of heat we are referring to. To begin with, the AC remote was not working. Although late in the night, we tried the reception, and were pleasantly surprised with the assurance of the night manager assured. However, it turned out, it was just that - assurance. Even after waiting for a while, nothing happened. We had to call the reception again, and this time the gentleman came up to our room, seemingly irritated and unhappy with life.
We tried to explain our issue, but he was adamant on the fact that the AC was blowing cold air - barely though.
He did not even understand the issue. The issue was the damn AC remote, and not the AC, however, by the time his-highness graced us with his presence, the AC itself had developed a mind of its own.
Our efforts to reason with his-highness were futile, and we were finally told, "since it is not hot outside (refer to 7.5.2022), we should use the fan and sleep" - yes, that, like seriously.
On further requesting him to move our room, we were told, "this is the best room in the Hotel, and the Hotel is absolutely full, and hence, we cannot be moved" - amazingg.
So, we were left to fend for ourselves for the night, with a FAN and an AC which had decided to be absolutely uncooperative with its Remote sibling, no matter how much of coaxing and cajoling was attempted. The next morning, we understood that that Hotel was absolutely far from FULL, and we were made to suffer the entire night at the hands of his-highness.

Read moreWe stayed in this property for 3 nights and 2 days. I would rate the overall experience in this hotel to be below average. Pros: • Near to the "Bapu Bazaar" which is one the prime market area of Udaipur • Walkable distance from "Surajpol", Vintage Car Museum etc. • If you love walking and love exploring new place on foot, then Lake Pichola is also at a walkable distance. • The lounge/club downstairs plays good music. • In the room, lights and fan were operational. Geyser was operational. Although the wash basin tap seemed like it would come off the wall anytime. • Breakfast was not an elaborate spread, but still a decent one. Cons: • No elevator. • Rooms were average, like any 2.5 -3 star hotel. Overall feel of the room was just average. • The biggest turn off - Bathroom was smelly. Smell was quite evident as soon as we opened the door of bathroom. There was no relief from the smell during the whole stay. After much request, an aroma diffuser was arranged, and we had to keep requesting them again and again for the refill. • TV system was not working, Every time, we turned on the TV and it asked for recharge. Hotel would say they have recharged it, and after being operational for 15 minutes, it would again ask for recharge. • Room service was average. • Staff in the morning hours at the reception desk was not polite and they were not ready to hear you out. • Music from club downstairs can be heard even in the room. If you're holidaying with friends, you may love it, but if you are travelling with family and kids, this may seem to be an issue to you. Personally, we did not mind the music. • The only time we ordered something in lounge was not that great, so did not have the courage to try food again. The only respite was the pool side view from the room's window and the arrangement of pool side seating during breakfast time. However it was not worth considering the amount you’re paying for the room, and the issues that you’re facing...
