We stayed in this hotel from 13th to 15th. I had already read reviews and shortlisted this hotel from the reviews at trip advisor so had an idea that there was no T.V. which is good if you are on a holiday. When we checked in the hotel room i found that there was no phone so i asked the person accompanying us (Pappusingh) who is the person who looks after all the guests needs after Chandarveer singh(general manager) how to contact for room service on which he gave us his mobile no. saying that we just miss call him for service. To keep the serenity of the fort T.V. , landline is not there though the rooms are really good with A.C. The best part is the hospitality of the whole staff under the guidance of Pappusingh you feel like a king. We were travelling with two small kids aged 4.5 and 1.5 years but never had any problem because of Pappusingh and staff. We had taken kids swimming rings with us for use in swimming pool. I had to tell Mr. Pappusingh only once and he sent someone to the village to inflate the rings. The service was really prompt. There was never a second reminder to any staff for anything. The best part is that Pappusingh says that he is available 24hrs and he actually is available. Milk for our kids was provided at whatever time we asked 'n' no. of times without any extra charges. Even though there is no lift(as its a fort) the staff is never tired. Always ready to serve you.
Some pointers:
As it is far from Udaipur, dont keep travelling everyday. Stay here 2 nights, enjoy the fort, swimming pool, surrounding, the hospitality, and thereafter you can stay in Udaipur for travelling around in Udaipur. Or check out early on the last day and visit Udaipur that whole day before returning home. But if you are going to Udaipur take 2 days out and do visit this place.
TAKE PACKAGE WITH FOOD depending on your travelling. They have anytime check in check out facility as communicated by you before hand as well as flexibility in food packages.
TOP FIVE THINGS MY 4.5YR OLD DAUGHTER LIKED AS TOLD TO ME BY HER:

Young kids who like travelling will love this hotel.
Though we went to Udaipur while coming back and did boating, horse riding etc. none of the things featured in my daughter's top 5 list of what she liked in our trip. THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL PLACE.
