The place has so much potential because of the location, but sadly, the owners haven't done it justice. There were constant power cuts throughout the night and day, even in good weather, leaving the otherwise nice rooms boiling. The water in the taps and showers smelt and felt stale. The entrance of the hotel has no security, so the rattley lock on your bedroom door is the only thing keeping strangers out. Also at the entrance is an open line of public urinals, so all you smell is piss (this can even be smelt in some of the rooms). We were told by our guide that the owners could easily pay a small amount to have the toilets moved so that this horrendous smell could be avoided, but they actively choose not to. Our guide also told us the management have a bad reputation in the town, which says a lot. The common area floors were unclean. The view of the lake was beautiful. The sheets in the bedrooms were not clean, and were clearly old as there were patched up holes. The towels however were really nice, as was the room decor - pretty quaint and cohesive. It was very loud in the rooms but thats just Pushkar, so not the fault of the hotel, and once you get used to it, its kinda nice - same with the many monkeys. The restaurant was never open. We booked yoga twice and were cancelled on both times with no solid reason - one of which was 5 mins before the yoga was meant to start, and they acted as if they were doing us a favour by telling us rather than us going and asking. Very disappointed in the management, or actually lack of management... Also they would intentionally come and switch off the bedroom lights from outside the rooms to 'save on electricity', but didn't tell us this, so we didn't know how to switch them back on, and when we complained, they were very rude and acted like we were dumb to not know about this very weird lighting situation. Also, to be clear, I don't write bad reviews for fun. I only write one when I really mean it.
