Worst place by a long shot that we stayed in India. Where to start? Price.... they charged $100 a night for what should be a $15/night room. Then they charged us $15 to put an "extra bed" which was a 5cm thick matt on the floor. We wanted to check out at 7AM which was before breakfast and asked for... More

If you are planning a trip to Khichan, you need to stay at Phalodi. First, Khichan is a bit too overrated. We had better crane-watching (Khurja cranes) expereince during Bishnoi village safari at Jodhpur rather than at Khichan. Lal Niwas itself is a good property, however, management is not as good considering that it is managed by a professional chain.... More

This hotel purports to have a 5 star haveli rating....it would be lucky to rate two! The haveli itself has the bones of alovely hotel but there it ends! The place has beeen tastelessly renovated, is generally dirty, rooms are poorly furnished,food is average, management is surly and staff are poorly trained. A very disappointing experience all round especially given... More

This is a perfect hotel if you're visiting the cranes at nearby Khichan. Located right in the heart of the old town, down streets so small you wonder if your car will make it! This is an immaculately restored haveli, with lovely rooms and wonderful furnishings throughout. Don't miss the incredible Jain temple in town! More

a bit off the beaten track. we went to see the cranes at keetchen but not too many there due to lack of water the hotel is a lovely old haveli in a small town free of tourist hassle and gives a glimpse of real India . food quite good and the staff were really friendly More

I stayed there. Hotel was under renovation. I had large room on front with windows. Bathroom was fine. Not a 5 stars for sure. It is in a wonderful village and frankly I went for the village and the architecture. It is not very touristy but location is worth a detour. Restaurant at hotel was small but cooked fresh vegetarian... More

It looked like the only decent accomodation in Phalodi and, to be honest, the outside is not bad at all. The room also, despite the lack of windows, was kind of peculiar. That' s were the good part ends. The room and the bathroom were desperately screaming for renovation. The restaurant was expensive and portions were offensively small. The service... More

My wife and I stayed at Lal Niwas in Phalodi in March. It was not a good stay. The hotel is a converted Haveli in a largely deserted part of town. Reception is in a dark, dank room, and much of the hotel is of similar ambiance. We stayed in the "family suite," a room with low ceilings (and an... More

We stayed in this Heritage Hotel on route from Jaisalmer to Jodhpur to see the cranes. The cranes are definately worth seeing but skip Phalodi. We booked the best room possible and although it initially looked impressive it soon became clear it was dirty as was the whole hotel and worst of all the sheets were really grotty and had... More
