“Not too great a stop-over”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

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. Rooms are clean. Hot water supply & electricity supply is erratic.
Food is decent, although quite a few items (esp., Rajasthani dishes) mentioned on their menu card is "not available".
If you do decide to visit Khichan, probably this seems to be the only option.

“avoid at all costs,poor value for money”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 March 2011

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 the hefty room rate.

“A real gem in this remote town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2010

person found this review helpful

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!

“non touristy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 April 2010

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

“Phalodi is worth a detour for good photograpphy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2008

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 food. There was also a roof top terrace with a view.

Stayed September 2007
