Sundhamata Vacations from $359

This is not a five star hotel. In fact, it's barely a three star. It is far from the fort and up a long, bumpy road so when you arrive, you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. The staff earnestly tries to be helpful but they're clueless, slow and inefficient. I ordered a gin and tonic at lunch time and it came after I had finished my meal. The hotel exterior is pretty and the rooms are large. That said, there are no amenities besides a tiny bottle of shampoo and conditioner. The soap comes out of a dispenser. I really feel the description of the hotel is inaccurate as it's an odd, isolated place where even getting connected to wifi requires about 4 people and an hour to set up. Also, the staff don't have good English so asking for help requires a lot of patience and time.

Enjoyed my stay

Anil the driver was fantastic. He knew the history of Udaipur and shared his wealth of knowledge with us. Our palace service host Tejveer was also very attentive and responsive to all our needs.
