This hotel was better than we imagined for the price. A double was 1290rs inc breakfast and was spacious with a small balcony overlooking the gorge and a watering hole. The fittings were old but the bed was comfortable with clean linen & good pillows. The staff were friendly and helpful and encouraged us to try different things for breakfast.... More

I strongly recommend Malwa retreat. Firstly its easily accessible. If you don’t have a cab and want to use the local transport, Malwa Resort is on the way to the Mandu bus stand. Secondly, the people are nice. They may not be the most informed but there are keen to help. Food is good and the cook quickly accommodates your... More

This property is well located; however the Malwa Resort which is 3 kms further to the Retreat, has a better complex. The manager and staff are quite indifferent and lack the usual hospitality of MP Govt hotels. Food is okay, but better than what is offered at Hotel Shivani. We had our own car for sight seeing ; anyway, on... More

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. Like most tourism development corporation hotels, Malwa Retreat is excellently located overlooking a cliff and very close to the central monuments in Mandu. We stayed in Air cooled rooms since all the other rooms were taken. On first glance the rooms were clean but later we discovered huge stains on the bed... More

As a localte, I have visited mandu several times but never had a night stay. This time we decided to stay as season was at its best, drizzling. It was weekend and other MPSTDC hotel MALWA RESORT was full (which i think might be a better place). We booked last 4 available air cooled rooms. Rainy season is best time... More

First off. Forget about clicking on AGODA (or any other reservation link) that might appear in the main reservation info box. These hotel reservation sites are useless with small towns like Mandu. Your best bet is to the visit the 'MPTourism' website where you can try booking there. So this hotel is a basic MPSTDC hotel, I've stayed in a... More

We did not expect too much from a Madhya Pradesh Tourism accommodation and were therefore not disappointed with what was on offer. We stayed in an A/C Room one night and in an A/C Tent on the next. The room was basic, with a functional bathroom and dressing area. The toiletries were decent, the towels overused and frayed. The tent... More

Growing up in Indore Mandu has been our family's weekend spot for many years. But as we grew up weekends became difficult to spare. So this time around when my husband wanted to visit Mandu I got to relive my childhood memories. We have always stayed in Malwa Retreat in Mandu though previously it was not under MP Tourism but...

Also do not have high expectations regarding the room,the linen is old,weary,the curtains appear dirty,the towels are ok.Geyser works,but the bathroom is not spotless.But for the price,the accommodation is quite alright.Basic channels can be viewed on TV.After exploring Mandu,we slept well on good firm beds.On...
