HOTEL MANDAWA VILAS

10/10 Excellent
"Stunning beautiful property. Warm welcome, beautiful room with comfy mattress and white clean towels. Nice garden. Very quiet, relief after busy days. Had the opportunity to meet the friendly owner who shared his story about this Havela and its renovation. Wish I could have stayed longer than 2 nights. Loved Mandala as well."

"This is a fantastic new hotel in Mandawa, an off-the-beaten-path city that is well worth a visit. Set in a fully restored haveli (a traditional merchant’s palace), it offers beautifully appointed rooms and excellent service at a very reasonable price. There is no better place to stay in town."
