The haveli was pretty. The manager at front desk was very humble and helpful. The rooms were very comfortable and nice. It was a very peaceful and beautiful stay.
The set up here is my absolute favourite. A large bedroom with air-conditioning & seating so you can comfortably be inside if it's too hot outside. But outside, there was a lovely little covered deck with a table & chairs, lighting & a fan We so enjoyed sitting out there in the pouring down monsoon rain, having a beer & snack in the late afternoon, then later dining from the house menu. Great chef, by the way! Loved the historical aspect. Very kind & helpful staff. Great location. And, lovely quality, heavy cotton sheet & duvet cover on the bed.
Nothing at all. It's very rare to get all the ducks stacked up in a row - such a pleasant place to stay.
Very good staff. Felt like staying in a palace.
The only issue was after putting AC for a long time still was feeling hot. The room is really big so 1.5 tn Ac is not enough for the room. So it will take tooo much time to become cold.
Tres bien situé, au calme. Charme de ces anciennes maisons bourgeoises
Tout était parfait
Non era più disponibile la stanza con servizi privati che avevo prenotato!!! Sono stato indirizzato ad un altro hotel...mi è stato proposto un cambio data che non ho accettato!!! Spero che booking non continui ad avere tra le sue proposte un simile hotel, altrimenti non userò più booking.com!!! Vergogna
Rahul the desk staff was very nice, polite and extremely helpful. My special thanks to him.
Though he provided a mosquito repellent, still mosquito menace could not be controlled. Maintenance was lacking to some extent.
Une magnifique adresse Un authentique Haveli au cœur de la vieille ville Très calme et très confortable Superbe terrasse avec vue sur la ville et le Fort Personnel dévoué toujours disposé à vous aider ainsi qu’à trouver la meilleure solution Très jolie décoration
Tout était super ! Haveli tres confortable à l’écart du bruit . Personnel très prévenant , sympathique et réactif pour me réserver tuktuk et me conseiller . Vraiment cette haveli est une pépite !
Personale molto accogliente. Abbiamo cenato in struttura e il cibo era molto buono. La camera dotata del necessario, di dimensioni adeguate. La stanza aveva poi un piccolo terrazzino su cui potersi rilassare o consumare il pasto. È presente inoltre un ampio spazio sul tetto su cui cenare osservando il tramonto.
+ nice comfortable room + beautiful view + quiet
All good.
Jolie haveli, au calme, à l'écart des rues bruyantes. Personnel très agréable et très serviable. Bon petit-déjeuner. A recommander.

Friendly host open to reccomend what to manage where Very good breakfest Very good price/value ratio Even the house itself is pretty
Bit far from the city center/citadel Once they avoid blue diodes in the bedroom, it will be almost perfect
Bons conseils du propriétaire, petit déjeuner sur la terrasse.
La façade décrépie peut inquiéter en arrivant !
Magnifique bâtiment; chambres aménagées avec goût et propres. Personnel très attentif.

Vorab sei gesagt, dass das kein klassischer homestay, sondern eher eine gut geführte, besser gesagt, sehr gut geführte Pension ist. Vom Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist das in Ordnung. Zimmer ist groß genug, gut und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, Kühlschrank, Kleiderschrank, Warmwasser, Internet (relativ gut), AC, alles vorhanden. Im großen und ganzen sind das eigentlich 8 Punkte. Den 9ten gibt es für den freundlichen und außerordentlich sympatischen und hilfsbereiten Manager, der halt - ohne jede Abzocke - alles organisiert. Zugtickets, Tuk-tuk etc. Selbst die Premier-League gab's im Fernsehen.
Frühstück und Bier ist leicht überteuert (wer richtig durstig ist, sollte einen liquor store aufsuchen).
Clean and the staff
No dinning room available.
Ancienne bâtisse au centre de Gwalior et très calme Mogelijk te eten, goede voeding. Warm welcome from reception and the best cooperation to assist you, travel, visit good restaurant
Lage, Ausstattung und Freundlichkeit
Buona posizione, abbastanza centrale, ma in una stradina che permette la tranquillità. Cibo buono, colazione varia. Host molto disponibile, risolveva abbastanza velocemente i problemi (molto pochi) La migliore camera in cui siamo stati, fornita di tavolino, sedie, frigo, appoggi per le cose. Stanza e bagno spaziosi e puliti. Bellissimo il tetto con vista sul forte e la città
Il WiFi non funzionava benissimo e un po' lenti per i pasti, sennò avremmo dato 10. Si sta comunque bene..
Heel aardig en attent personeel. Mooi pand, super dakterras
I stayed here 3 times. Great atmospheric place, comfortable bed, so cooperative front desk.
The service was outstanding
Hard bed
A wonderful welcome A large room in a quiet place A nice breakfast Possibility to book here trains or orhers.
Petite hôtel plein de charme bien situé au calme. l'hôte est d'une très grande courtoisie et fera tout pour être à vos petits soins. Excellent rapport qualité prix Je recommande vivement cet établissement

Had a great 3 day stay here. Very friendly and helpful staff. Loved the old world atmosphere. You can have breakfast or dinner on the roof. In-house dinner a great option
Old haveli homestay offered a blend of royal history, rustic charm, and intimate, personalized hospitality....Where every brick tells a story of a bygone era.The staff are so helpful. I was very happy with my stay and the breakfast and the in-house was also very good.
Everything i liked. When u stay in a old haveli its offers its own charm.
Tout était parfait l’accueil, la chambre, la terrasse et le calme

Very helpful staff also provided a space for me to freshen up on early arrival after overnight train trip, before check in.
Heritage ambience. Staff behaviour is polite, friendly and supportive.
Location is not comfortable. Allocated one Room was not bath attached. Not comfortable for senior citizens or people with climbing difficulties. This property can not be called a home stay.
En centre-ville Rapporte qualité prix impeccable

L’hôtel est en retrait de la rue, au calme. C’est un bâtiment ancien, plein de charme et très joliment décoré. Les chambres ont une petite terrasse, et il y a aussi un grand toit terrasse où l’on peut dîner. Les chambres sont très propres, le petit déjeuner et le dîner étaient très bien. Le personnel nous a aidé à réserver des taxis et nous a très bien conseillé pour visiter la ville et ses environs. Le wifi fonctionne bien. Une adresse à garder pour un voyage à Gwalior.
Sfeervolle homestay in prachtig oud pand met dakterras en uitzicht. Kamer had ook een eigen terrasje. Supervriendelijke en behulpzame jonge mannen die het guesthouse runnen. Lekker eten, heel goede prijs-kwaliteit verhouding.
De kamer was schoon, maar een beetje muf: kan wat frisse lucht gebruiken.
Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vielen Dank noch an Sohan Yadev der alle unsere Wünsche erfüllt hat.
Terrace
Toilet outside the room
I had a very pleasant stay. I recommend
The facilities and staff were really nice and welcoming
The heater wasn’t doing a good job in the cold and there was dog disturbing us at the entrance
In mooi oud huis met veel koloniale attributen en foto’s over de streek. Een mooie kamer met een eigen terrasje. Vlak daarboven een rooftop met mooi zicht. We hielden van de charme van het huis, de rustige ligging weg van een drukke straat en wat groen. Lekker ontbijt en diner en de jonge uitbaters deden hun uiterste best. Zeker aan te bevelen als je Gwailor fort en de rotsbeelden wilt bezichtigen. Onze fijnste homestay na 1 week India.
L'emplacement était bien situé et calme, le personnel très gentil et serviable, la terrasse de la chambre était parfait pour le petit déjeuner et la terrasse sur le toit avait une belle vue sur le fort. Impeccable pour un séjour de quelques jours.
Une odeur d'encens assez bizarre dans les couloirs de l'hôtel. Dès qu'on sortait et rejoignons la rue principale, c'était le tumulte et le tohu bohu des villes Indiennes ou l'on avait de la peine à marcher.
Personnel agréable et professionnel, chambre sympathique avec petite terrasse et une grande sur le toit et vue sur le fort illuminé. Propre, eau chaude. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Proche des commerces mais quand même au calme (pas simple en inde). Sèche cheveux, bouilloire.
Nice old place. Very helpful staff
Très jolie haveli Une grande chambre propre, bien décorée Le personnel a été tres accueillant, les deux frères nous ont donné des conseils pour visiter Gwalior et le jeune homme qui a porté nos bagages et servi le petit déj a été adorable Le rooftop pour le petit déjeuner était très agréable avec une très belle vue sur le fort Le dernier jour, nous prenions le train pour delhi en fin d’après midi et ils ont proposé de nous reposer dans la chambre
La literie un peu ferme mais c'est courant en inde Le reste était parfait
Old world vibes, clean rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Be careful that it has stairs. 2 stories climb even for the reception. They help with the luggage though. We had no problem using stairs so we loved the place. One can see the Gwalior fort from the roof top. Parking was available.
One has to pass through busy streets to get there. No complaints for the price though.
Calme de ́la chambre, terrasse privative, room service pour le dîner qui etait délicieux. Prestations top ( frigo, seche cheveux..) pour le prix. Personnel très gentil et serviable.

Dimensioni della camera Buona la colazione sul tetto con vista forte
La strada dov'è situato l'hotel non è delle migliori
Fantastica camera, ampia e pulitissima, personale attento e disponibile. Buona colazione servita in camera.
We had a great stay at Dera Haveli Heritage Homestay. The hosts allowed us to check-in early after a long busride. They serve great food for dinner and the breakfast, with great variety, will last you until the afternoon. Room was very spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable and bathroom fully equipped with reliable hot water.

Personnel très professionnel, accueillant et serviable. - Belle chambre avec petite terrasse privative. - Possibilité de commander à manger. - Vue sur la ville depuis le toit. - Endroit calme et décoré avec goût.
Accueil efficacite rapidité gentillesse et cadre ancien plus un fait rare une extrême propreté. Nourriture copieuse et savoureuse servie sur le roof top ou terrasse des chambres.

We had stayed in the top floor room which had direct access to the terrace. It is the best room from where you can see the fort and the city. Enjoy your early morning tea with the chirping of the birds and see the sun rise. Breakfast was excellent and there cook has also got magic in his hands. It was Diwali time and sitting on the terrace and watching the crackers burst was an excellent experience.
The stairs. As it is an old palace so does not have a lift.
Loved everything about staying here but hadn't realised the room I booked didn't have an attached bathroom, it was across the hall. Still just for my exclusive use, but accessed via public walkway. Had I known, I would have booked one of the other rooms. Breakfast up on the roof terrace was nice. They set up an umbrella for me for some shade. Location is fabulous - you are right in the heart of town but set back from the busy road so it feels like a haven when you return. Very interesting photos and decoration about the place.
Everything. Great food great staff atmospheric room, have your dinner overlooking the fort.. also has beer
Nada
Very neat and comfortable stay. Had all the facilities and the staff were super helpful
L'emplacement, le cachet du bâtiment, le confort et le silence, et l'accueil de la petite équipe.

La localisation (rue calme), la chambre très confortable et très bien équipée (bouilloire, frigo et corde à linge dans la salle de bain) et d’une propreté irréprochable ! Le personnel est d’une gentillesse, une amabilité et d’une aide très précieuse Les petits déjeuners compris sont copieux ! Nous avons apprécié les repas du soir faits maison

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel in Gwalior. The room, bathroom, sheets, and towels were very clean. The staff was very attentive and the breakfast was excellent, with a beautiful view of the Fort. The hotel is located in a courtyard set back from the main street, which makes it quiet and peaceful, away from the outside noise. The place has a lot of charm with its architecture and furniture. I would definitely recommend it!
La stanza è bellissima e con tanti confort, frigorifero, tavolino e divanetto, bagno molto grande e doccia con acqua calda. I ragazzi che gestiscono la struttura sono bravissimi e molto disponibili, la gentilezza e la cortesia sono indescrivibili. Sono stati gentilissimi anche a tenere i bagagli fino a sera per poter visitare la città durante il giorno.
Siamo stati solo una notte. La prossima volta valuteremo sicuramente di stare più giorni.

No restaurant
Nice clean place with peaceful vibes. Good courteous staff and amenities available. Good food with a city view on rooftop for dinner and breakfast.
Nothing.
Camera in cima alla struttura con accesso al tetto. Aria condizionata, pala e acqua calda ok. Si può ordinare la cena tramite la reception, viene servita in camera.
Haveli piuttosto decadente e trascurata, il giovanotto alla reception si dà da fare ma la struttura è piuttosto trascurata, peccato. La zona nei dintorni è decisamente caotica e confusionaria, fortunatamente in camera non arrivano i rumori.
Superbe chambre, celle du 2e étage, et salle de bain confortable. Super petit déjeuner en terrasse avec vue sur le fort et la ville. Mention spéciale à Rahul qui nous a attendu jusque tard le soir ! Un personnel très disponible. Une très belle adresse !
la stanza e la posizione sono buone,la colazione era basic ,la vista dalla terrazza era molto bella. Via tranquilla si dorme bene
Struttara necessità di manutenzione e rinnovo.
D'abord j'avais réservé par erreur une chambre avec salle de bains commune. Ils m'ont donné sans supplément une chambre avec salle de bains privatives. Ensuite la chambre par elle même était spacieuse, le lit confortable, et j'avais un petit patio à l'extérieur pour prendre mes petits déjeuners. La personne qui gérait était attentive et très serviable. Bref je recommande si vous passez par Gwalior.
Schön eingerichtetes komfortables Zimmer, Tisch und Sessel draußen vor der Tür - ideal zum Früstücken. Nicht direkt an der Strasse, daher sehr ruhig und trotzdem mit den modernen Navigationsmitteln einigermaßen einfach zu finden (Tuktuk-Fahrer hatten allerdings ab und zu Schwierigkeiten). Freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Ich konnte am Abend nach dem Auschecken noch im Hotel duschen und auf meinen späten Zug warten (danke, Sohan!).
It had an old world charm to it...rooms were clean and staff was very helpful
A lot of stairs to climb to the reception and then rooms at multiple levels...all a climb up. Not at all convenient as we were a group of friends. 1 room had the washroom outside which was also not good. While the staff was good but it was only one main person and 1 kid who was a helper so they were rushing to do everything
Hôtel à du charme ! Le personnel au top ! On recommande ! Literie et douche propre, douche chaude ! Lit confortable on recommande !
A receptividade do Rahul foi incrível, ele me ajudou a organizar os passeios e foi bastante atencioso. O lugar é muito bonito e nos oferece a experiência de estar em uma casa com móveis antigos de qualidade e muito bem decorada.
Se tem alguma sugestão a fazer é colocar um espelho de corpo inteiro no quarto, especialmente para mulheres isso faz diferença.
Very friendly receptionist and hotel staff The hotel was quiet when I stayed so I got upgraded to a higher room category with a nice terrace The old Have like is beautiful and has a lot of charm
It is super comfortable and beautiful place. Good breakfast and amazing hosting.
Prachtige hotel, in een mooi oud gebouw. Bovenop het hotel een fijn dakterras, heel mooi uitzicht over de hele stad. In het hotel kan je eten, erg handig.
Toilet en douche was aan de overkant van de gang, wel voor onszelf, maar dat hadden niet alle gasten begrepen.
Tout. Très propre, grande chambre.. En centre ville. Personnel aidant. Très bel endroit, comme si vous viviez au temps des rois et reines.
Rien.
Staff were great. The food is amazing there and the room clean and tidy with good aircon. The rooftop is good for sunset/sunrise
The matress was very hard.
Tout, la meilleure guest house en 4 semaines de voyage Le personnel est très attentionné, petite terrasse devant la chambre pour le petit déjeuner, thé café bouilloire dans la chambre, nous reviendrons avec plaisir
