Shivam Tourist Guest House

After travelling around India for a few weeks, staying in various types of accommodation from hostels to guesthouses, I can say without any doubt that Shivam is the best experience I have had so far. Everything about this guesthouse oozes hospitality and homeliness. The family who run the guesthouse clearly care very deeply about their work and about the guests who stay with them. From the moment I set foot in the guest house I felt as though I was being taken care of as though I too was a part of the family. We visited during a relatively quiet period in Bundi in terms of tourism and my friend and we were the only guests. Even so they offered a complete breakfast menu every morning without fail and always made the offer of a vegetarian thali complete with dal, vegetables, rice, chapatis, and papadams for dinner. We were also able to get clothes washes here for a small fee and it might just have been the most worthwhile money we spent during the trip. The location is great as well, just a five minute walk from the main palace and fort complex and close to the major stepwells, shivam is perfectly situated to see the best that Bundi has to offer.

We arrived at this place expecting what had been previously written by fellow travellers.. sadly it was the total opposite.. Rooftop terrace was great otherwise I would have stayed elsewhere. There are no facilities in this guest house whatsoever, perhaps in a few years time.. if you are backpacking and want to pay $12 a night then great.

Accueil familial et chaleureux tout en préservant l intimité et l autonomie La chambre était propre et d une taille correcte Le toit terrasse était très agréable et la nourriture était bonne et fraiche L emplacement est pratique très proche du palais Depuis la terrasse on le voit bien Le jeune gérant parle quelques mots de français !
