Samode Haveli

Traffic is sucks road are too narrow

The Samode was probably our favourite hotel on the whole of our 3 week trip to India! It is a truly gorgeous place with beautiful bedrooms, courtyards, gardens, bars and lounges where you can spend quiet time. We also loved the sundowner rooftop bar and enjoyed a very atmospheric combination of flying black and white kites, birds, illuminated buildings and the callings to prayer from the mosque and Diwali fireworks. The pool, jacuzzi and changing facilities were excellent and the gym and spa looked good (even though we didn’t manage to use them) The shops were great too The restaurant in the courtyard was magical with nicely spaced tables, beautiful lights and a fantastic old banyan tree. Each night we enjoyed evening musical entertainment. The maitre d gave excellent advice on menu & drink choices and saved us from over ordering at least twice! All the food was delicious - both dinner and a fabulous spread for breakfast Shivani was a lovely meet and greet person when we arrived and she gave us a quick and informative spin around the hotel once we had freshened up We took the hotel morning walk with one of the staff Sujit and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the city wake up, the temple and the milk, flower, fruit and veg markets plus a stop for some Chai and street food - Sujit was a great guide and shared his knowledge and love of the city. He also introduced us to time lapse which was enlightening in the flower and veg markets The hotel location was great to see all the sights of the Pink city

Lovely heritage hotel just near the Old City. An oasis of calm. The pool is lovely and lots of sunbeds and the service is exceptional. There are a few different bars for a drink including the peaceful courtyard and the roof top with amazing views of the city and the many kites that are flying at sunset.
