I choose Lake Pichola hotel after reading lot of reviews here and on other sites. We stayed for a total of 3 nights during middle of August 2022. Overall stay was satisfactory. We choose lake facing room on 2nd floor and it was a pleasure just to gaze through the lake from the room balcony. Most of attractions like Bagre Ki Haveli, City Palace and jagmandir are at walking distance. They have two boats but both were not operational due to some local issues. It would have added the charm if boats were operational.
Breakfast is limited but good. We ordered room service and like Dal Makhni and Malai Kofta. Chicken tikka was stale. Unfortunately upre resturant was closed on all evenings due to heavy rainfall.
There is one swimming pool at the roof top but it is quite small but suitable for kids.
One advice I would like to give is regarding local transportation. Autos in Udaipur dont have meters and hence charge exhobritant prices from tourists. (Rs 200 for City Palace and Rs 100 for Bagre Ki Haveli from hotel !). Hence it is best to negotiate with few Autos before boarding one.
The hotel is on a lake and offers great views. The pool is a plunge pool. Staff very friendly. Some aspects of the rooms and general decor seem a little tired compared with the competing 5 star hotels in Rajasthan, which are generally exceptional.
Royal Retreat Udaipur is a very good property at affordable rates,the property looks like heritage with all modern amenities,it is a big 14 acre spread out resort with nice hospitality and a very good view of arawali mountains.the hotel was better then expected. a very nice circular swimming pool and a bar Sheeshmahal added to its beauty, overall you cant expect anything more at this price in udaipur, simply the best.
Beautiful experience of staying in this property however, their pool wasn't functional and their food was decent.
Each room faces the lake view and the property is very instagrammable if your trip is photo centric!
The three nights we spent here were full of enchantment. The treatment we received from the staff was so personal, their mission it seemed like was to make sure we didn’t lack in anything. All our comforts, needs and more were met with grace. The hotel is self contained with entertainment, shopping, pool, gym and two restaurants. But the surrounding area is steeped with history. The food was of the highest standard and the chefs were not at all rigid about adapting dishes to your palate. The hotel has the feeling of ease and relaxation that it made it natural to interact with staff and co guests.
