Kankarwa Haveli

Disappointing and over-priced. We were put in a damp-smelling ground-floor room next to the lake. They did move us to a better room to their credit, but it was tiny and stuff with an AC that kept us awake because of the noise. With some improvements they could do better.

I’ve seen a few people compare this place with Jagat Niwas next door which is not fair. That place is a commercial hotel and three times bigger whereas Kankarwa is a family home. We found the staff here, especially Harsh (probably spelt wrong) very helpful indeed and sorted transport to an animal charity outside the city and to the airport. Our room was clean and had a great view over the lake. We had hot water always and the WiFi, as explained at check in, is available in the common areas of the haveli, not the bedroom. Breakfast on the roof top was simple but totally ok. We stayed a Jagat several years ago and personally we preferred the quieter home feel of Kankarwa.

Excellent hotel, great loExcellent hotel, great location, the staff was very friendly, walking distance from the City Palace and the lake, the food was lovely too, the car could not get to the hotel as it is in the heart of the old town but they were very helpful with getting our luggage from and back to the car, we enjoyed our stay here, will come back to stay here. cation, the staff was very friendly, we enjoyed our stay here.

We have not had any warm water in the bathroom. In both of our booked rooms. Reception tried to fix it. They sent someone from the staff who told us that it will take 10 Min until it will work. But it did not work. Next day same. For us its not a solution to wait 10 Min or more until water gets hot. Not in a hotel. Bathroom and room were clean. The white couch pillows had a lot of stains, but we did not use it. In general, hotel was very noisy. We travelled a lot through India. In this hotel we felt more like staying in a hostel than in a hotel. Quality of food in the restaurant is average. The menu looked scrappy. Nevertheless, the view was fantastic! First night we had dinner in the restaurant, second night we chose a restaurant close by. Apart from that we had a very bad WiFI connection in the room. We always went out of the room to get access to WiFi. We called our agency, because hotel was booked through an agency. We agreed with the reception that the hotel will pay the 1500 rupies (+tax/fee) as a compendation. At the day of departure hotel refused! That was really annoying.
