We stayed at The Lalit Laxmi Vilas Palace during our Udaipur visit and overall had a very pleasant experience. The biggest highlight is the location and architecture — a true royal palace with panoramic views of Fateh Sagar Lake and the Aravalli hills. The room was comfortable, and the staff was extremely polite and helpful. Food at the restaurant was good, especially breakfast with a wide selection. The property is maintained, though a few areas could benefit from renovation due to its age. Fitness center was under renovation, however we were able to rent a bike for a ride along the Fateh Sagar Lake, in the early morning hours, one of the best part of our Udaipur trip. Despite that, it’s an amazing place if you love heritage properties with character. Ideal for travelers looking for a calm and regal atmosphere.

Lovely location

The bathrooms are small and not well maintained, with leaky shower doors that remain unfixed. Towels provided look old, and hand and face towels are not supplied. The taps appear worn out and are covered in marks, contributing to an overall sense of neglect. The room door was jammed, which added to the inconvenience. There is no lift in the building, making it difficult for guests with heavy luggage or mobility issues. While a car is available for hire, the drivers are not knowledgeable about local attractions, so guests still need to do their own research. There is also no dedicated travel desk. Vegetarian dining options are very limited. Not all staff members are warm or welcoming, and the credit card machine frequently has issues, causing delays during payment. That said, the property itself is a heritage building, which adds a certain charm and character. The exterior is picturesque and has an old-world appeal that some guests may appreciate.

Great location. Amazing views from the room. But, dated property with really annoying smell. Rooms are filled with room freshener smells to compensate for that. Overall, the property needs some deep cleaning.

Very nice property

Sunset view is good. Service is not great.

Utensils not washed properly, room and toilet had lots of hair, poor laundry service. Over all experience is terrible.

Location was close to the lake and had a great view and was close to nearby attractions. The hotel lacked an elevator, gym, pool and was older. I don’t mind and older hotel which is nostalgic but it needed some amenities. Restaurants were convenient.

I went ahead and booked this property because of the name "Lalit" and to this date i regret having stayed here. - The rooms were untidy with several cockroaches roaming freely inside the room. - The key card to enter the room never worked as the locks are so old. - The bathrooms were terrible and this is the reason they do not have clear picture of the room and washrooms displayed on their website. In fact the entire property is in a state of shambles. - To make matters worse the staff is untrained and have no association with the word "Hospitality". - While dining at the restaurant the server came to clear the plates atleast 3 times while we were still dining. We finally had to ask her "Why is she in such a hurry to clear the plates without seeing that the people are still dining". - I requested for an extra bed and the reception kept repeating it would be "2500 + Tax". Having said that i have no objection to the charges the same thing was repeated at least 10 times and they were not done here they actually came to my room with a hand written charge declaration and asked me to Sign it. - Having dined at several top class restaurants the drinks always come with free soda and water but because the property is so poorly managed we were billed for soda and water and drinks were already way too overpriced considering the properties' conditions and class. My recommendation would be to cancel your trip rather than having to go through the ordeal of staying here.

The lake view from hotel front yard was amazing. The staff was great. The food cost was over priced. The new year gala event singers were really bad. But the food and DJ was good. They charged 8K INR for my 15yr old kid.

very nice property with million dollar views !

Hotel location is good but other amenities are average.

the property location is nice, but there is nothing to do. There is only a snooker table available and a lawn. They can add a few activities for guests. Also due to covid the restaurent had very limited menu

We stayed for one night. We were disappointed in knowing that it is actually not a heritage palace property but a heritage building that was designed like a palace. There is no good parking for car also. The waiting room at reception was small which got crowded during rush hours. Food was too costly. It is overrated in name of palace.

Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Hotel is very clean

We stayed at the Lalit for two nights. We had a great stay at the hotel. The hotel is tucked away from the bustling city on a hill overlooking Fathesagar, but still close enough to the action. It’s a well maintained well manicured property that was very clean. The staff was also great. The price point on this hotel was also great. While not as luxurious as the Oberi or Lake Place it was a still a luxurious hotel at a great price point.

All you’re paying for is the lake view. Compared to other Lalits, the fabric of this property is worn out. Needs new beds, a better layout in their restaurants, and also better food offerings. Quality was lacking and you expect a lot more for the prices they were charging.

Bel hôtel dans une demeure historique. Vue imprenable sur le lac de l’île de Nehru garden. Choisir une chambre avec vue sur le lac. Bon service et bel accueil. Restaurant correct.

The hotel is amazing. Nice rooms, wonderful location and view, yoga and spa treatments. Would highly recommend to anyone who is staying in Udaipur.

Not luxury Just an average hotel Breakfast selection is limited mostly vegetables
