Oolala - Your lake house in the center of Udaipur

Super emplacement avec vue magnifique sur le lac ! Accueil au top, très bon petit déjeuner, chambre confortable

Ti senti a casa. Fantastico per vivere il soggiorno in modo autentico

Personale molto gentile, hotel a conduzione famigliare, posizione molto bella, vista lago

La gentillesse de Lovely et tout ses petits conseils !

Rien de spécial. Le lit est peut-être un peu dur mais cela n’a pas posé de problème

Lovely and Jitu are wonderful and welcomed us into their beautiful home. Breakfast was delicious. Centrally located with a great view. Lovely can help plan your itinerary. Room Wifi and AC worked well.

Der wunderschöne Blick aus dem Fenster. Sehr netter Empfang, alle sehr hilfsbereit. Das indische Frühstück war das beste, das wir je in Indien hatten. Immer wieder ins Oolala, wenn wir nach Udaipur kommen sollten

Nichts. Alles bestens

All was amazing. The view, the flexibility of the owners, the great support and kindness of Manish. You need to try the breakfast it is delicious. It is the most enjoyable stay in India for me.

All was amazing

Eigenlijk was alles goed voor elkaar, maar de communicatie van de host was uitmuntend. We kregen de hotspots van Udaipur op een presenteerblaadje en zelfs tips wat we op 1 dag konden zien en wat we wellicht beter op dag 2 konden doen.

The home stay was located right by the lake. It had a wonderful balcony overlooking the lake. The whole house was beautifully decorated. The hosts were very welcoming. I really enjoyed my stay here. This is a great place for female solo travelers. I felt very safe.

Casa meravigliosa, tenuta splendidamente, in posizione eccellente direttamente sul lago Pichola. Sia dalla nostra stanza sia dal rooftop sembra quasi di essere su una nave. Vista tramonto incredibile. I proprietari e lo staff gentilissimi e disponibili per tutto, accoglienza ottima. Pulito e provvisto di tutti i confort.

Location

The property is well overpriced. You can find much better standards and quality just near by

Heel fijne en comfortabele homestay! Erg proper, goed ontbijt en supervriendelijk personeel! We kregen een gratis upgrade van onze kamer waardoor we ook een balkonnetje hadden met zicht op de prachtige omgeving! Manish, de housekeeper checkte veelvuldig of we niets te kort hadden. Zeer aangenaam verblijf!

Wonderful hosts, amazing stay. Everything is so tasteful and the view is incredible. The hosts are so kind and thoughtful. I felt welcome and cared for.

Nothing I can think of to improve.

Das Oolala Hotel ist ein sehr charmant und nett eingerichtetes Hotel. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit bei der Organisation von Touren oder geben Informationen zu Orten, die man besuchen soll. Auch das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet.

Extremely beautiful lake view from window. Nice room design and big space. Walking distance to the main business area. Quiet at night compared with hotels in east bank of Pichola Lake.

Super clean, comfy bed, lots of hot water and good location. Lovely hosts who gave us lots of good advice and recommendations. Nothing was too much trouble and they helped arrange our onward travel. Best of all was the Breakfast, home cooked and tasted amazing.

Nothing

Excellent breakfast, thank you Lovely! Very clean and the location was extremely good with a lake view. We felt very comfortable and welcome.

The mattress was a bit too firm for me, but that's a matter of personal preference.

Lovely and Jitu are fantastic hosts, only ever helpful and kind. The veg thali that comes from the kitchen each morning is varied and super tasty, wait til you try the carrot halwa !! Oolala is just past Chandpole Gate and up a short path. The property sits right on the lake and the views from the bedroom or the roof are just lovely. With a few minutes walk you are at the Palace or Gangaur Ghat. There are too many great restaurants to name Our bedroom was warm and comfortable many features We made several local trips into the mountains and on the last day to a famous birdlake just 40minutrs drive All in all Udaipur is a splendid place to spend a few days, and you want find better hosts than Jitiu and Lovely !!

Z całego serca polecamy to miejsce. Cudowna lokalizacja w centrum miasta, z pięknym widokiem na jezioro. Pokój miał swój klimat oddający indyjską kulturę. Bardzo zadbany. Na największe uznanie zasługują gospodarze noclegu. Niezwykle ciepli, pomocni, można się było poczuć jak w swoim domu, pomimo bycia na drugim końcu świata.

L'emplacement est topissime, la vue absolument idéale, tranquillité assurée, près de tout à pied. Lovely Jitu et Manish sont adorables Petit déjeuner excellent

Un peu cher pour la prestation quand même...

Placement, rooftoop balcony, the breakfast, and the lovely host <3

Nothing, everything was perfect

We had a truly wonderful stay with Lovely and Jitu at the Lake House. We were upgraded to a room with a balcony and stunning views over the lake and were very comfortable for our three night stay. The breakfasts were delicious and we sampled a variety of Indian dishes each morning. The hosts were so welcoming and friendly and we really appreciated Lovely taking the time to talk us through the attractions and places to visit when we checked in. The location is also great, we were able to walk to everything within the old city. Thank you for a fabulous stay!

We enjoyed the clean, spacious room with a great view over the lake. The breakfast, included in the booking charge, was great and an excellent start to the day. All the staff were warm and welcoming, and made us feel very comfortable in our 5 night stay.

Everything was great.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Oolala, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The highlight of our stay was the breathtaking lake view right from our room. Waking up to the serene sight of the water and enjoying the peaceful surroundings made our visit incredibly relaxing. The homemade breakfast was another standout feature. It was freshly prepared with great care, offering a delicious and authentic taste of home-cooked flavors. The hosts Lovely & Jitu were exceptionally warm and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. They were always available to help with recommendations, travel arrangements, and any special requests, making us feel right at home. Overall, Oolala is a perfect retreat for anyone looking for a scenic and peaceful getaway with great hospitality and amazing food. We highly recommend it and would love to visit again!

Quiet and confortable, very friendly and helpful personnel. And ideally situated in the center of the city.

We received a warm welcome, Lovely has excellent hosting skills she is so super organised and knowledgable providing all the details of where to go in Udaipur so you can plan your stay well. The house was wonderfully quirky colourfully decorated and full of personality. We loved opening our balcony doors for morning coffee overlooking the lake it's a spectacular view. Breakfast was excellent Lovely does the cooking & she served us Indian delights and as much as we wanted, lots of variety and things we had never tried. A lovely homestay to end our trip.

Nothing in fact we opted to stay another night.

We extended our stay here by another night. A lovely view of the lake from our balcony, a nicely decorated room with excellent toiletries and nice towels. Breakfast is great it just keeps coming we selected Indian breakfast although you can also enjoy continental. Lovely & Jitu are brilliant hosts and made our stay a delight.

Nothing it was wonderful place to stay.

Amazing room with every comfort (best mattress ever) and a stunning lake view, that can be appreciated even more from the common terrace. Lovely is a wonderful, passionate and enthusiastic host, and together with Jitu, they have created something special. Manish is as delightful as the breakfast he prepares (some of the best food we had in India). If we ever have the chance to visit Udaipur again, we will stay at Oolala without a doubt.

Leaving :(

The hosts (Lovely and Jitu) were very helpful and friendly. The location was very good-- close to restaurants and tourist sites. The Indian breakfast was very good. After a two week tour of India, we enjoyed a relaxing 5 night stay here.

Everything was perfect, from the room to the view, to the helpfulness of the hosts. Best place we stayed in our two weeks in India. Cannot recommend more.

It was one of the greatest places that we stayed while being in India! Can highly recommend!

The hosts are great. We really enjoyed our stay here. The Indian breakfast is the best start to your day in Udaipur. Recommended.

This is a really lovely quaint little Homestay where you arrive as a guest and go home as a friend. The owners really could not have been more kind or helpful. The breakfast is amazing whether Indian or European and any wish is immediately granted. We loved: The beautiful views from our window That the room was spotless The pull out clothes line was really handy The mesh on all windows to keep mosquitos out and a repellent just in case. Free tea/coffee/water etc The very comfortable bed with 2 pillows each. The yummy breakfast, wonderful staff and central location. If you can afford it go book this place it’s amazing.

I usually comment on some improvement but we very really happy with our stay here and would not stay anywhere else if we came back.

We loved the position on the lake at the end of a pedestrian little road and the welcoming staff. We were upgraded to a bigger room, windows to the lake. Very good breakfast cooked at the moment. Clean, huge bed an shower. Do not hesitate!

Everything was fine

Fabulous little gem in a lovely part of town , the hosts were wonderful welcoming and very helpful , lots of top tips , lovely roof terrace , charming

Nothing

Lovely and Jitu are the gold standard to which all hosts should aspire. Together with Manesh, our group was cared for beyond expectations. We highly recommend Oolala to all who visit Udaipur.

Our housekeeper Manisj and the owners Jitu & Lovely were the sweetest hosts we've ever had. This is by far the highlight of our trip through India.

Amazing location and a view outstanding - we stayed in the green room on the second floor with windows on 2 sides looking over the lake and a small balcony where we watched numerous fireworks every night whilst in bed planning the next day Quiet spot in a busy area Within walking distance to everything Good restaurants nearby

There are no negatives This place is perfect

Location. Atmosphere. Ambience.

Nothing.

Awesome and quiet location by the lakeside with a balcony to admire the sunset from. It was January and very chilly in the morning, but a lovely heater was provided to make the room warmer. Cooked breakfast by Lovely was varied and plentiful. Manish was attentive and always so friendly. Jitu helped with transport for day trip and to the airport. There was even a little present at the end of the stay which was a big surprise. Seeing the family take part in the kite flying day was fun.

Nothing, it was perfect.

They made very delicious chai and were very nice and kind. They gave good pointers to local places of interest.

The smell of urine wafting through the windows. The shower wasn't warm.

We were delighted with this exceptional place. The hosts are incredibly warm and friendly, always eager to make your stay enjoyable. The rooms and the entire property are beautifully decorated, offering a charming and relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast is a real treat, with a variety of Indian and continental options to suit all tastes. Plus, the location is ideal: most of the tourist attractions are within walking distance, making exploring this beautiful city very convenient. We highly recommend Oolala Lake House for an unforgettable stay in Udaipur. You won't be disappointed!" Not to be missed!

Lovely and Jitu were incredibly welcoming hosts and made us comfortable in their beautiful home. The setting is amazing - right on the lake with incredible views. They provided a delicious breakfast and lots of snacks when we arrived as they were worried we’d be hungry! Manish their housekeeper was very responsive whenever we needed anything.

Can’t fault anything!

The location was fun

It is overpriced for what it is. It would be ok if priced a lot less.

This is the perfect place to stay in Udaipur. Lovely and Jitu go out of their way to make you feel at home and give excellent advice and directions for your site seeing. The breakfast they provide each morning is amazing, poha is my new favourite breakfast food! The home is serene and all the locals are so kind and helpful in the neighbourhood. You must also try the street food at the end of the street at chandpole bridge (see picture), you can't tell while it's closed but there is always a big crowd eating there and it is delicious.

Beautifully furnished and decorated, lovely general layout, homely, great hosts and staff, boutique, great views and breakfast, close to sights.

Jitu and Lovely were wonderful hosts, always making sure we were content with our stay at their home stay in Udaipur. The White Room has beautiful views of the surrounding river and a nice large bed. The floors are solid marble so the place stays pretty cool at all times, especially in the evening. Fortunately, they did provide sandals to keep our feet off the cold floors and very warm blankets. Their breakfast was wonderful. We opted for the Indian breakfast and were very happy with the quality of the food. Lovely also walked us through great recommendations for what to do in Udaipur. It’s a great place for anyone looking for a well located place with caring hosts.

Location is the best in Udaipur. In 20 years of travels I have never met more welcoming hosts. An absolute pleasure staying with Lovely and Jiu. Don’t look anywhere else and stay at Oolala when in Udaipur

We had an unforgettable experience at Oolala Lake House. The homestay offers breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding mountains, The breakfast was delicious, with a variety of fresh and tasty options that set the perfect tone for the day. The hosts were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. Their extensive knowledge about Udaipur's culture, history, and hidden gems truly enhanced our trip. If you're looking for a cozy and picturesque place to stay in Udaipur, this homestay is a must-visit!

This homestay is the perfect place to stay in Udaipur! From the moment we arrived, we experienced unmatched hospitality that made us feel right at home.

The rooms are spacious, beautifully maintained, and offer the best views of the serene surroundings. It’s a peaceful and silent retreat, ideal for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The location is also excellent, with all major tourist attractions just a short distance away. The highlight of our stay was the delicious home-cooked meals, which gave us a true taste of local flavors. Combined with the homely vibe, this place offers an experience that’s both comforting and unforgettable. If you’re visiting Udaipur, staying here is a must. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable and wholesome stay! Trust us, the memories you make at this homestay will be some of the most cherished ones from your trip. You’ll never regret the decision to stay here—it’s truly an experience you’ll always treasure. We are again coming back to Udaipur for this awesome stay , host - Jitu , Lovely and the caretaker - Manish.

Very friendly and helpful host. Provide us with all the information about going places in Udaipur. We had a wonderful stay.

Very close to the mosque and can be quite noisy during their prayers.

Loved the location. Our room had an undisturbed view of the lake. The guest house is incredibly central & yet very quiet. Lovely, Jitu and their caretaker Manish were just fabulous. Fresh tasty breakfast (Indian or continental), laundry service, intro to sights, taxi organization - they did it all with a smile & fully deserve the high rating :)

Nothing. It was all good.

The stay was extremely comfortable and the staff service was also on point. Apart from that, it has a very unique Indian homely vibe with the lake view.

Nothing as such. Price is little bit higher, however it’s justified if it’s in season.

Beautiful views and incredible location

Lovely individually decorated room, spectacular view over the lake. Great balcony. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Well equipped bathroom and toiletries. Caring and organised owners. Great breakfast. Walking distance to the centre of Udaipur. One of the best places we stopped in India.

Nothing

We had a wonderful stay for four nights. The accommodations in this small and personable guest house are clean, spacious, and comfortable. The location is amazing, with a rooftop patio that has a great view of the lakes. The hosts, Lovely and Jitu, and the caretaker, Manish, were kind and always helpful. We highly recommend Oolala!

Oolala is situated in the old city of Udaipur and is super near all the popular tourist attractions. Lovely, Jitu and Manish are fantastic hosts, they will always make sure that I am feeling comfortable, well-fed every morning, and safe. I certainly didn’t expect a goodbye gift and that means a lot! Room and toilet are huge and clean, it has everything! I faced a small problem at the washroom but it was fixed really quickly. The white room gets a really nice lake view and I get to see fireworks at night too :)

Nothing.

This is a small guesthouse , 4 rooms . The couple Lovely and Jitu are very welcoming hosts, they do everything to make your stay perfect. Manish was also very kind and helpfull . I was sick and he made me plain rice to get better . I had to stay in bed for 24hours so i CAN say the beds are very confortable. Thanks again

everything was perfect

This place was delightful. It had excellent views over the lake, a wonderful breakfast, very helpful staff and lots of nice touches. By this point I had been to several hotels in different locations over two and a half weeks and this was the first place that had everything it listed on its booking.com facilities, including a hairdryer! Lots of nice touches and the owner was very helpful, even booking a ticket on an Indian website for me as the website wouldn't take my card. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Udaipur.

Location - room decor - excellent cooked Indian breakfast and warm , sociable hostess Lovely and husband Jitu

Nothing

The owners Lovely and Jitu are perfect hosts who are keen to give their guests the best possible experience while in Udaipur. Everything from check in to check out was perfectly handled. Breakfast was fresh and personal to you once they knew what you liked The Green room was clean and spacious with great views over the lake (facing away from the city) Less than 10 minutes walk to okd Town centre or a 3 minute tut tut!

Despite its secluded location at the end of a narrow alley it was a little noisy at night. However Divali may have been responsible for that and we still slept well in with A/C and ceiling fans in our room

Oolala was such a beautifully decorated and appointed property. We loved the rooftop at sunset. Spectacular. The breakfasts were delicious with a wonderful assortment of homemade treats plus western style dishes too. Lovely and Jitu amazed us by giving each couple a gorgeous gift - a marble elephant ornament. Just so sweet and generous.

Nothing

Love the location and the decor of the property. The host/hostess are very sincere, friendly and make you feel at home once you enter. I really appreciate the kindness of the staff willing to meet and help with my luggage. Breakfast is plentiful (ask for Indian breakfast) and plenty of recommendations by the host/hostess to explore Udaipur. The room is very comfortable, and the bathroom is large. I hope to return to Oolala one day :)

It’s like an Airbnb.Every little thing has been thought of to make your stay so enjoyable.Great breakfast and they even supplied Soy milk for us Vegan types.Our room had a balcony that overlooked the lake and sunsets to remember.Hamish is always there to assist in anyway possible.The hosts Lovely & Jitu were exceptional and well they were a pleasure to meet.

NA

We had a fantastic few days at Oolala where we were warmly greeted by the hosts & made at home. We were given all the information to make the most of our time in Udaipur. The property has beautiful views over the lake along with a rooftop terrace where you can see beautiful views of the sunset.

Great quiet location overlooking the lake, large comfortable room with good WiFi, fans and a/c. Good omelette breakfast from Manis every morning.

If you wish to have a truly Indian experience, book Oolala. We stayed in the green room with a lake view. The room was spotless and having a balcony to enjoy the view in the morning was great. However, what makes Oolala special are hosts Lovely and Jitu and not forgetting Manish.. Lovely and Jitu are friendly, and give us lots of advice in what to see and do in Udaipur as well as help us book train tickets to Jaipur. The location of Oolala is great, a 2 min walk across the bridge to the old town. Highly recommended.

The whole experience at this accommodation was great. The room was even better than we expected. The views over the lake are very nice and the bed was comfy. Everything was clean and perfectly functional. Internet was good and stable. The hosts and staff are great, helpful and attentive. They made sure we had a great stay at all moments and gave us many tips to enjoy the city and its gems. Breakfast is abundant and fresh, good food for a long day ahead. Udaipur was one of our favs in our trip around Rajasthan.

Nonthing. This accommodation and their people exceeded our expectations.

The location is great sitting right on the lake and with a beautiful view from the rooftop. The owner lovely and her husband make you feel right at home and they cook delicious breakfasts. There were so many nice gestures from them throughout the stay you feel like family. The rooms are also spacious and very comfortable. It’s an amazing guest house. Location is also convenient for everywhere you’d want to visit.

Nothing it was perfect.

Friendly host and simple and healthy breakfast .. Kids friendly and view was very good

The path leading to the property is a little steep and if allotted a room in the second floor would be difficult for elderly / handicapped travellers

The location was great, breakfast exceptional, hosts very welcoming!

The location is very central and convenient to walk around. Friendly host and Manish (the helper) was very helpful. The room was light and functional.

Maybe because of the season (August), but this part of the lake was dirty and not as “beautiful” as the other part. Overall we had a nice stay but compare to other places in Rajasthan, we didn’t think it was a great value for money.

Loved the hospitality, hygiene, comfort and safety offered by the homestay owners Jitu and Lovely. The homestay is a home away from home located near the lake side and one can access most of the places around on foot. As a couple on our leisure trip to Udaipur, we loved staying at this place. Not to forget, the breakfast that's made by Lovely herself is a delight every morning!

The hostel is centrally located. Many sightseeing spots are in walking distance. The hostel owners Lovely and Jitu will inform you about many possibilities for sightseeing and will support you, if needed. We liked the breakfast. The hostel is located in a quiet side street. The room was clean. Everything was OK for us.

Great location, amazing breakfast and staff

We were nicely welcomed by Lovely and Jitu. Lovely was extremely warm and provide us with many many details about Udaipur and its greatness. Gave us top tips! But unfortunately we could not stay the night. When we checked in in our beautiful room with an incredible view, we realised that we had been robbed from a money exchange place back in Varanasi . And so we had to book new flights and go back to Varanasi. This was a very unfortunate situation for us, as at the end we did not enjoy Udaipur the way we wanted. Nevertheless, Lovely and Jitu were extremely helpfull and tireless with our situation and provide us many advices. For that we are very thankful! We hope one day we ll be able to return!

Firstly, Udaipur is the best city in Rajasthan, hands down. And secondly, oolala is just amazing. You get what it feels like to live in a home within the city. The view was just fantastic. However, the best part are the hosts, Jitu and Lovely. Wonderful people who made us feel like we were visiting family. The next time we come back, we’d stay here longer.

This property is perfect but even better are Lovely, Jitu and Manish who will take excellent care of you when you stay!

Nothing

This is a beautiful guesthouse next to the big lake and just a quick walk to all there is to do and see in Udaipur. The room was very comfortable and the view was stunning. Although my favorite part was the homemade breakfast each morning.

Some of the best hosts we've ever had. We were looked after so well from the moment we arrived, and the breakfasts were outstanding. The hosts Lovely and Jittu assisted us with anything we needed and their staff member Manish was so helpful and friendly during our entire stay. The location is ideal, tucked up an alleyway in the old town that then looks out over one of Udaipur's beautiful lakes. Being off the main street is nice too as you can escape the wild traffic a bit. From what I could tell, every room has amazing views of the lake, which is easily the highlight of this property. Rooms were nicely decorated and clean. The mattress was basic but did the job for the few days we were there. Large and clean bathroom also. You would need to be able to move freely up and down stairs to stay here, as I didn't see any ground floor rooms.

We received a very friendly welcome by the lovely owners and were given a comprehensive introduction to the most important sights in Udaipur. You have to walk a few metres from the main road through into a narrow alley to reach the B&B. It is not possible to drive up with a vehicle. Our lake view room was nicely decorated with a great view. Cleanliness was perfect. The bathroom was very spacious with all accessories like in a high-end hotel. The location of Oalala B&B is only a few minutes from the city centre. Breakfast is offered with Indian and Western dishes, both very tasteful. At the end of our stay, we were surpised with a little memory gift. In essence, an exceptional accommodation.

I felt immediately at home in this most wonderful gust house! Both the owners and the staff went way out of their way to make sure everything was comfortable. The rooms are very clean and gorgeously designed. I would stay there again in an instant. One of my favorite hotels ever-- and I have traveled all over the world. It is charming, safe and delicious! What more could a woman traveling on her own want?! I feel like I have life long friends in Udaipur!

nothing!

OMG, so this was our first stay in our trip on our first time in India and wow, if you can plan your first trip to India to stay here you will have the most unique, loving & amazing welcoming ever. The owners of the place welcomed us with drinks & sat us down to give us a quick idea of the city & the things to do which was perfect because we only had two days & wasn’t sure what to do really, so pretty much they arranged everything for us & even scheduled us a yoga class next morning in the rooftop which was just perfect to start our trip like that. So the staff was outstanding & loving. Felt like walking into your own home. The room was amazing, cleaned, comfortable and with a beautiful view. The location was perfect, it was not in the middle of the chaos and the honking but just few steps away from it where it was more quite and calm to have a good night sleep and feel safe The food they cooked for us was delicious too. Definitely will stay here next time I’m in Udaipur and I highly recommend this place to anybody

We loved everything and the most humble part is when lovely asked us at the end if we had any feedback good or bad to please let her know that she wasn’t taking it personally but she wanted to accept it as a way to improve and do better, wish all business operates like that

Lovely & Jiddhu put their whole life into it !!

Took a little while to find the place
