Kankarwa Haveli

Family owned and operated - on site. Staff helpful and polite. A beautiful historic Haveli in an excellent location over looking Lake. Immediate walking to shops & restaurants in the old city, or dining upstairs on their rooftop with incredible views. I booked 6 rooms travelling as a group and the only feedback provided that was a negative is there was no room heater. Otherwise it was a very positive experience for our group of 11. I should add that we did not ask for heating as ample bedding was supplied. Rooms very clean, nicely maintained & decorated. A positive experience.

Great stay at this haveli. Rooms pretty basic and not sparkling clean but comfortable. Spectacular lake views from the terrace and from our “penthouse” room - worth staying there just for those! Breakfast is basic but the thali dinner was delicious. Not for you if you can’t climb stairs

By far one of the most charming hotels I’ve ever stayed in. This little boutique hotel boasts the most amazing location on the lake with an internal courtyard and a fabulous terrace with outstanding views across the lake and the lake palace hotel I had a lake view room with a gorgeous seating area and a very comfy bed. I was told to put out at many of the eateries in the city but chose to eat in the hotel, on the terrace and I wasn’t disappointed. The food was delicious and with a view - priceless. The team is ultra-hospitable and genuinely care. This isn’t a 5 star luxury hotel but as far as hotels that make you feel like home go, this one hits the spot I only wish I could have stayed longer.

Great heritage hotel with an amazing view to the lake and a nice rooftop where you can get breakfast. Our room had a great lake-side view and a private terrace, great value for price. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

My BFF took me for a vacation and I bow to her choice of hotel! Kankarwa Haveli takes you back to the Kingdom Era. They have kept it as natural as possible & have maintained the rustic look. The view from the room is therapy! The food, service, staff & management are very polite & helpful. The rooftop dining area overlooks the beautiful & serene lake & you just can't have enough of it!

Only the location is something to write home about. The service is nonexistent, to Indians. They are partial to giving the best rooms and services to foreigners. I booked two lake facing rooms and one of them didn’t even have a full partition for the bathroom, like you could smell your roommate’s business from the bathroom in your room. Upon asking if it could be changed, they said they are fully booked out. Which is understandable, but why charge Rs 5,500 per night for that? During breakfast, expect your breakfast to come after the foreigners’ even though you have been sitting there longer. Book this hotel if you want to feel like a second class citizen in your own country.

Only good thing about the property is their roof top view. Which can be seen from neighbouring rooftops as well. Host is very rude and unhelpful. Food is below average. No outside food is allowed. The host even canceled my 2 bookings from booking.com even after I had paid fully 12-24hrs before checking out. I am guessing the intention was either to save on commission or to spoil my user history. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

We had an ok experience here. Nice atmosphere all around. Good rooftop restaurant for breakfast. Room was a but run down and very noisy, and breakfast can be much improved.
