Deewanji Ni Haveli

Beautiful historic building. The room was atmospheric and I enjoyed it's location in the old city, which allowed me to go for an interesting evening walk.

I arrived after a long journey, tired and needing to rest. The hotel is difficult to find, and the taxi driver had to stop and ask for directions frequently. It is also difficult to access in the narrow streets of the old city. The taxi was not able to drive to the hotel, so we had to walk the last 500 metres. There was no sign on the door, so we had to ask locals where it was. It was difficult to communicate with staff in English and it took time to sort out payment and get to my room.

A fascinating heritage building, impeccably restored

Welcoming and friendly staff. Delicious breakfast. Nice room with good beds.

Everything was good.

Lovely historic villa, spacious, quiet, well cared for. lovely staff, great breakfast, cant fault it.

location can be tricky to find at first but no problem. its great to be right in the heart of the old town

Amazing building very peaceful considering it’s so close to the market

Bathroom was a bit smelly with the moth balls

We loved this old heritage property in a 300 year old city. Felt nostalgic as we had similar properties in our village which sadly been demolished and modern ones in their place! I love how this property has been refurbished and modern amenities added in for guests, with government funding. Beautiful halls inside which are being used for functions etc…when guests are not staying. We had a comfortable triple room, the single beds were little small for a bigger person but we were ok. It is noisy during the day if you open the windows but thats part of the experience. There were fans and AC in the room. However it was ideally suited to explore the old city. I spent half day walking around the city and saw so many temples and beautiful old heritage places. The manager was very helpful and the staff were friendly and thoughtful. We loved our Gujarati breakfast. The haveli does not provide other meals but you can order food online and they will provide dishes and cutlery. There is night market for street foods nearby. Just be careful with your belongings. The staff are happy to make tea/coffee when you want.

Down side was leakage in the shower block, and leaky water spray in the toilet. However these were fixable minor plumbing issues. There is parking issue as the old city has many narrow streets that are not suitable for cars. It is perfect if you use local rickshaws.

I stayed at this property twice with my group of travellers. The first visit was great. Mukesh, Mohan, Dattu were kind and helpful .

The second visit was not great, we felt like unexpected guests. Rooms were not well prepared to receive guests. The food was prepared for one of the owners and unpalatable for our western taste. The bathrooms with three beds require an upgrade.. drainage is not good. The guest bathroom on ground floor smells very strongly of moth balls.very unpleasant. Attention to detail required in all rooms, I requested fresh towels as the ones we had were gray and hard. Perhaps these youngsters need a few more hospitality skills.

Beautiful restored heritage property. The main bedroom with king size bed was good. The other two rooms with three bedrooms per room need refreshing . Coffee was good.

We stayed here twice in February. First stay was great. Second stay didn’t make the grade…it seemed as if the staff were not expecting us. Rooms were not prepared in our arrival. Bathrooms in the 3bed rooms need an upgrade. Water does not drain well in shower. The staff are lovely but seem to lack the relevant training on how to receive and welcome guests. Most staff have little English so communication not great.
