The hotel property was nice and had potential, but the room we were given was terrible. The bedsheets were not washed or kept properly, the bathroom was dingy, and there was dust everywhere in the room.

Wonderful hotel on a lake in Udaipur
Wonderful hotel facing one of the lakes in Udaipur, close to everything but still quiet and calm. Beautiful pool in courtyard and three restaurants with delicious food. The service was excellent - the staff was always friendly and accommodating.

Swaroop Vilas Hotel is a boutique hotel true to its name with every minute detail and decorations. They gave free upgrade to Superior room. Some ventilation needs to be provided to bathroom. Staff needs to be trained for courtesy and greetings to provide service with smile. Buffet breakfast was average. Overall good experience

Dear Guest, I apologize for the disappointment you experienced with the breakfast at the hotel. It's understandable to expect a variety of options, including rice, fruits, vegetables, and curry, especially when you have paid extra for breakfast. In situations like this, it's recommended to provide feedback directly to the hotel staff or management, expressing your concerns about the lack of variety and your expectations for a more balanced breakfast selection.Sharing specific details about your preferences and the areas where you feel the breakfast fell short can help the hotel understand how they can improve their offerings. we will take your feedback into consideration and make necessary adjustments to ensure a more satisfying breakfast experience for our guests.If you encounter any other issues during your stay, I encourage you to communicate your concerns directly to the hotel staff so that they have an opportunity to address and resolve them. They may be able to provide alternative options or find ways to make your experience more enjoyable.Regards,

Swaroop Vilas is a terrible property every which way you look at it. The rooms are extremely unhygienic, the staff is extremely rude and uncooperative and the location is next to a swamp. The entire property is a health hazard and visitors can expect to become ill after getting exposed to their extremely unhygienic rooms. More to come. This property should be removed from listing on expedia.

We had a great time and experience staying there. Loved the food at Cafe and main restaurant. We had three meals there and all were delicious. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. We asked for an early check in and they were very helpful. We stayed in a family suite . Very comfortable bedding and enough room for a family of four. We will definitely be coming back. Had an amazing experience.

Disappointing stay in what is a beautiful hotel!
Sadly this hotel has so much going for it in terms of architecture and character. Unfortunately though the service is lacking- staff do try to make an effort but they really haven’t got the appropriate customer service training they require. Breakfast was really disappointing and unless you enjoy tucking into the usual Indian breakfast on offer at most places, there’s not a lot to choose from apart from trustee eggs and cornflakes!

Found Bed Bugs!!
Found Bed Bugs upon arrival!!! I made numerous, appalling & unsuccessful phone calls to Expedia’s customer service to request a refund upon exceptional hygiene pest found upon arrival to our hotel overseas, two months after my travels NO REFUND. Expedia is not willing to refund, due to Swaroop Vila hotel not refunding Expedia. How is this my problem? Had to look for a different hotel and didn't stay at all here.

Good heritage hotel
The room was nice (though the bathroom had a murky smell) and the building is an old "haveli" (small palace). The vegetarian food at the restaurant was good, but I cannot say the same for the non vegetarian food. The service at the front desk, especially after hours, needs improvement though. We checked out at 5:00 am on Jan 12, 2013 and the night duty manager was fast asleep behind the counter. It was hard to wake him up and settle our bills. The taxi arranged by the hotel to take us to the airport had not shown up and we were anxious. Instead of calling to make sure that the taxi arrived, the manager asked us to wait patiently and went back to sleep and did not want to be disturbed!!

I'm disappointed to hear about your negative experience at the hotel. It sounds like the loud music, poor maintenance, unhelpful staff, and a disappointing restaurant have contributed to your dissatisfaction. It's important to address these concerns directly with the hotel management or front desk staff, as they should be made aware of the issues you've encountered during your stay. consider speaking with the hotel management or requesting a room change if the noise is disruptive. In the case of a disappointing restaurant experience, it may be worthwhile to provide feedback directly to the restaurant manager or through any available feedback channels. This will help them understand where improvements are needed.Regards,

Un hôtel décevant
L'hôtel est situé dans un quartier calme, mais sans intérêt particulier. Il est parfois nécessaire de rejoindre la route principale à 500 m pour trouver un transport. L'accueil est bon, le personnel compétent. La chambre familiale est agréable, suffisante pour quatre personnes. Le restaurant est triste, mais les repas sont de bonne qualité et le personnel disponible. Si la piscine située à l'intérieur de l'hôtel est jolie, les pigeons qui viennent s'y abreuver et s'y laver laissent une très mauvaise impression d'hygiène. Autre point d'amélioration : l'accès internet wifi n'est possible que dans le hall, et payant à l'heure, ce qui est un peu juste pour le statut revendiqué par cet hôtel.

Bon rapport qualité-prix, hôtel confortable
Notre choix s'est porté sur cet hôtel un peu au hasard, les 63% d'évaluations positives à l'époque sur cet hôtel nous inquiétait un peu pour les 37% restants. Nous avons tellement eu de déconvenues sur les chambres d'hôtel en Inde que nous ne attendions pas à un miracle pour le prix. Et pourtant, nous avons été agréablement surprises : l'hôtel est très bien placé, et il est vraiment charmant. Une seule critique parce qu'il faut en trouver une : les couloirs accédant aux chambres mériteraient un rafraîchissement... Les chambres quant à elles sont bien agencées, propres, et ont en plus du cachet ! Très agréable, de quoi se sentir bien, se poser enfin, déballer ses affaires, reconstituer son petit univers provisoire, vraiment une excellente surprise... Sur les 12 hôtels que j'ai fait en Inde, je lui donnerai la 3ème place, c'est tout à fait honorable ! Le bâtiment est joli tout de blanc vêtu, la piscine petite mais sympa, la terrasse un bon lieu de détente. Nous sommes arrivées en retard au petit déjeuner (pour une fois que nous dormions bien !), le personnel s'est mis en quatre pour nous servir quand même un petit déjeuner. Nous recommandons donc sans hésiter. Pour info notre chambre était en face de la piscine, peut-être y a-t-il moins bien, ne pas hésiter à en demander une autre si celle que l'on vous propose ne vous convient pas. En tout cas moi je resigne demain !
