How we rate this property
Hotel Udai Niwas by Lake Udaipur Highlights
A few things worth knowing, good and bad, before you book.
The address is hard to beat
City Palace, Jagdish Temple, and Bagore ki Haveli all sit within a couple of hundred metres. Booking.com’s location subscore of 9.4/10 is the highest number we found for this property.
The rooftop restaurant earns its praise
Guests name the rooftop cafe again and again for its Lake Pichola views, live music, and food.
Staff feedback leans strongly positive
Reviews describe the team as polite and accommodating, backed by a 9.0/10 staff subscore on Booking.com. A couple of older reviews mention slower service, but the pattern overall is good.
Wi-Fi is the clear weak point
Booking.com scores Wi-Fi at just 5.0/10, well below every other category tracked for this hotel. Don’t plan on it for anything demanding.
Getting to the door can take an extra step
This sits on a narrow Old City lane. One guest reported a taxi couldn’t reach the hotel and had to switch to an auto. Let your driver know in advance if you’re arriving with luggage.
Rooms are good more often than not
Cleanliness and comfort both score well across platforms, though a handful of individual reviews mention a small room or a bathroom that wasn’t fully clean. Read a recent review or two for the category you’re booking.

Rooms & Stay Options
Booking sites list this hotel’s rooms under different names, and at least one shows a larger Family Suite alongside the categories pictured here. Check the exact room and occupancy with your chosen platform before paying.
Super Deluxe
Super Deluxe Room
Air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with a separate shower. Room size shows some variation between guest reports, so it’s a good idea to look at recent photos before booking.
Executive Suite
Executive Suite
More floor space than the standard categories, and the pick if you want extra room in a heritage-style setting.
Bed configuration and occupancy aren’t fully consistent across platforms for this property. If you’re travelling as a larger group, ask the hotel directly rather than relying on one listing.
A heritage-style stay at the centre of the Old City
Hotel Udai Niwas by Lake Udaipur occupies a five-storey building on Gangaur Marg, a short walk from City Palace, Jagdish Temple, and Bagore ki Haveli. It has around 30 rooms, reachable by lift or stairs, and is affiliated with the Treebo chain.
The address does most of the heavy lifting here. Booking.com rates location at 9.4 out of 10, and guests across several platforms describe the setting as hard to beat for walking to the main sights.
Staff come up almost as often, and almost always in a good light: polite, accommodating, quick to help. Wi-Fi tells a different story, sitting well below every other rated amenity, and it’s the one thing we’d flag as a real limitation rather than a matter of taste. Rooms fall somewhere in between: most guests are happy with the space and cleanliness, and a smaller number report issues, so it pays to skim recent reviews for whichever category you book.
The rooftop restaurant rounds out the picture as a second clear strength, called out repeatedly for its views over Lake Pichola, live music, and food.

What Guests Like
Things to Keep in Mind
A location-first hotel that mostly delivers elsewhere too
Strip away the address and this is still a fairly solid mid-range heritage hotel: good staff, good rooftop dining, decent rooms. Add the address back in and it becomes an easy recommendation for anyone who wants to walk to the main sights, Wi-Fi aside.
Pros & Things to Keep in Mind
A heritage hotel with one standout strength, several solid ones, and a clearly defined weak point.
What We Like
- One of the most central addresses in the cityCity Palace, Jagdish Temple, and Bagore ki Haveli are all a short walk away.
- Staff reviews are strong and cover a large sampleNearly 700 Google reviews and a 9.0/10 staff subscore on Booking.com back this up.
- The rooftop restaurant is one of the property’s stronger featuresViews, live music, and food all draw specific praise, separate from the room feedback.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Wi-Fi is a genuine weak spotRated far below every other amenity. Don’t rely on it for calls or heavy uploads.
- Room experience is category-dependentMost rooms score well; a minority of guests hit exceptions. Check recent photos and reviews for the type you’re booking.
- Vehicle drop-off needs a heads-upThe narrow Old City lane means a car may not reach the entrance. Tell your driver ahead of time.
Who Should Stay Here?
A strong match for one kind of Udaipur trip, and a weaker one for another.
Old City Walkers & Sightseers
If you’d rather walk to City Palace, Jagdish Temple, and the ghats than drive, this address is hard to top.
Strong FitCouples & Heritage-Stay Seekers
The setting and rooftop restaurant suit travellers looking for atmosphere over modern polish.
Good FitRemote Workers & Heavy Wi-Fi Users
Given how far behind Wi-Fi rates here compared to everything else, this isn’t the property for video calls or big uploads.
Look ElsewhereGuests with Heavy Luggage or Limited Mobility
The narrow lane means the last stretch to the door may be on foot, even with a lift once you’re inside.
Plan AheadOur take: book this for the address and the rooftop, and treat the Wi-Fi as a known trade-off rather than a surprise.

- You want a car to reach the entrance directly with heavy luggage.

Our verdict: Hotel Udai Niwas by Lake Udaipur earns its 7.8 on the back of an excellent address, strong staff reviews backed by a large sample, and a rooftop restaurant that pulls its own weight. Wi-Fi is the one place the evidence is unambiguous: it’s weak, and you should plan around it rather than hope for the best. Everything else, rooms included, lands closer to good than to a genuine problem. For a heritage stay built around walking to the sights, this is an easy recommendation with one clear caveat.
