Manuscript - Jhilwara Haveli

Such a nicely designed hotel with real attention to detail. We had a lovely stay here and enjoyed a drink at the bar which was also a lovely space.

The drains were a little smelly in our room but would otherwise highly recommend

Their service is best

Superbe hôtel, très bien situé (possibilité d’aller dans la ville et au city palace à pieds). La petite piscine sur le toit était très agréable avec une superbe vue sur le city palace. L’hôtel a été très facilitant pour notre arrivée matinale et notre départ. Nous avons d’abord eu une chambre au rez de chaussée qui sentait fort l’humidité. Mais le réceptionniste nous a immédiatement changé pour une chambre à l’étage suite à notre demande.

Hospitality and details of design

Odour in toilet

Posizione della struttura adiacente al al City Palace

In generale la struttura non era particolarmente pulita e necessita di maggiore manutenzione. Polvere nella stanza, sulla ventola a soffitto, vetrata della doccia con ruggine e calcare sulla rubinetteria. La stanza pur essendo la suite più bella aveva una vista pessima. Colazione a buffet quasi esclusivamente salata.

a jewel in the centre of udaipur - tranquil, tasteful, please stay here ☺️

Very peaceful place to stay. Beautiful and green. Super comfortable and clean rooms and excellent breakfast and food options for lunch and dinner. Really like the early morning live bansuri in the courtyard. A beautiful way to wake up.

Clean, location, very good staff and manager

Price of food was very expensive.

La struttura nuova è davvero bellissima. Camere spaziose e doccia meravigliosa. Staff gentilissimo. Siamo stati benissimo. Tra i migliori hotel provati in India.

Colazione a buffet di scarso livello. Penso non abbiano cucina per cena.

Het was een zeer proper en comfortabel hotel. De kamer was zeer ruim en je had alles wat je nodig hebt. Het ontbijt was als buffet en in de avond kon je iets eten in het restaurant of drinken in de bar. Het was een zeer fijn verblijf!

Er is wat geluidsoverlast als er festiviteiten zijn in de stad.

Non Veg Food in the hotel

Un établissement au personnel attentif et souriant. Très belle expérience au Manuscript hôtel. Les chambres sont Confortables et bien décorées. J’ai aussi aimé la Piscine même si elle aurait besoin d’une rénovation.

Rien

Zeer behulpzaam, we mochten na uitchecken nog kamer en pool gebruiken

Posizione e disponibilità eccellente!

BEAUTIFUL property, absolutely lovely staff and atmosphere. The rooftop bar with a view of the City Palace was a big highlight. The food was also delicious and staff helpful, and friendly.

Nothing!

The view is spectacular of the city palace. The bar on the roof in the evenings is very special

The walk to the 2 bed villa was a bit far but the staff were amazing and moved us into the main hotel which we loved

A beautiful mix of modern and history

Climbing number of stairs but they are not too high

Equipe réactive et accueillante, nourriture très bonne

Absolutely beautiful haveli right in the old city. You can walk out of the door and be right by little shops, temples, art classes and the city palace. The hotel rooms are really well equipped and comfortable - I love that you are encouraged to take a book from the hotel. Bathrooms are gorgeous. Food in the restaurant was great. The pool is very nice and looks immediately on to the city palace on one side and the old city on the other.

More loungers by the pool would be good - and some sun umbrellas.

Location, ambience and food

Towels should be replaced with new ones they are very old. Service can be better, it was quite slow.

Ambience

Everything was perfect

It was a cute and comfortable stay with a great view! Location gives it 100 points! Definitely recommended.

Hot water did not work on the first day, however they did sort it out. Free WiFi wasn’t working. Food was unnecessarily expensive.

Location, piscina, vista

pulizia di alcuni elementi

The interiors were lovely, the bathroom spotless and the menu extensive. The fresh lime sodas were perfect. Welcoming and helpful staff. Night Fabulous views of the City Palace from the roof terrace.

There was nothing to dislike.

Very helpful staff with extremely quick service. Great location with most of the attractions in the vicinity of the hotel

Everything was good expect for the long stairs to get into the hotel. It would be good to have a lift installed to reach the hotel reception area.

didn't gave us breakfast after booking, theremost hyped and most expensive not good experince, No one listen

everything................................................

Everything! The staff the location the rooms that place is what exploration views and comfort would look in one place. I would really suggest to have the experience at least once. However the options for breakfast could be better

Expected more from the breakfast menu

Location close to the city centre

Too many steps. No approach for the differently abled or senior citizens.

La décoration des chambres étaient sublime, le rooftop et sa piscine avec la vue sur le city palace était magnifique, l’emplacement parfait (à quelques minutes à pied des centres d’intérêt) le personnel toujours disponible et bienveillant, excellent petit déjeuner je recommande !

Vriendelijkheid van al het personeel. Met name Pushkar Ashu in het restaurant. Ook aan de balie met alle vragen, regelen van taxi vervoer, enz super behulpzaam. Hygiëne helemaal prima..

Kamer 209 stonk eerste uren naar lucht vanuit de riolering. Jammer dat het gezegd moet worden, maar valt in het niet bij al het positieve.

Excellent location and great hospitality. Food is wonderful, 10/10.

Food varieties on roof top to add. Location is so good ok rooftop

Lovely staff, so accommodating. Amazing pool on the rooftop with beautiful view of city palace. Room was super clean and was cleaned every day with new towels and bed made so neatly. 10/10 stay and would highly reccomend to anyone looking for a peaceful haven away from the busy streets! Also, we were celebrating our anniversary and they made it so special by delivering a cake to our room. They really go above and beyond.

Excellent food..chef made yummy yummy food and staff was very courteous and friendly

Bathroom cud have been a lil big

The best hotel location rooftop bar and food restro room view pool cleanthiness beyond my expectation they even provided me complimentary pint of beer which was included in my package i loved Udaipur because of my stay here

Not that i can think about

Hotel meraviglioso. Vicina al city palace, nel caos cittadino ma quando entri è un'oasi. Camera grande e pulita. Personale gentilissimo.

Price is too high

Très joli hôtel, très bien localisé, tout proche de l'enceinte du City Palace. La vue du rooftop sur le City Palace est absolument incroyable. L'hôtel a beaucoup de charme, il est joliment décoré. La chambre était très jolie et spacieuse. Le personnel est très gentil et attentionné. La nourriture du dîner est exceptionnelle. Nous y sommes revenues, même après avoir changé d'hôtel ! Par ailleurs, excellent rapport qualité/ prix.

Rien. Peut-être la netteté de l'eau de la piscine par rapport à d'autres hôtels mais franchement c'est très bien.

Limpio, personal súper simpático y atento. Muy buen precio. Instalaciones muy modernas

No funcionaba la nevera pequeña

Very convenient location, all the facilities were clean and with attention to detail. The staff of the hotel was very helpful during the whole staying but also arranged our transportation to the next cities.

Beautiful property!! Right next to city palace. The staff is extremely friendly and polite, loved our stay to the fullest!

Lovely hotel, Greta spot a bit out of the tourist area

The stay at Manuscript was pleasant. Beautiful views everywhere, it is amidst the old town of Udaipur, so we were surrounded with lovely old time houses and the city palace was just behind the property. The location is the highlight of this stay, cause city palace and Lake Pichola are just walking distance and these two have to be our favourite places at Udaipur. Everything else is easily accessible via Uber taxis and autos. The room size was decent, we were provided with an extra cot for our 7 year old, which compromised slightly with the room size. A small window with sofa, overlooking the scenic view outside was my favourite highlight of the room. Special mention has to be made of the amazing collection of books provided by the hotel - it is mesmerizing and it is quite tempting to just cozy up by the window with your cup of coffee and keep reading. The night view of the city palace is also amazing from the terrace. The restaurants are decent, though pricey. The breakfast spread was Good and tasty with multiple options. The staff was extremely polite and considerate. Overall, a perfect amalgamation of Heritage meets modern..

During our stay, we just happened to Google the prices of our room, and since we had booked almost 2 months in advance, we ended up paying 3k extra!! So if you are looking for visiting during the "off" season (we visited in May), highly recommend to wait and monitor the prices. The terrace restaurant ambience is so much better, bit the menu provided there is just finger food, so couldn't have a proper dinner there. We had drinks and appetisers there and moved in to the other restaurant for dinner. Being under the same roof and having the same kitchen, I guess, they can share the menu as well!! The swimming pool is on the terrace and using it in May was next to impossible cause of the Sun. It is available only till 7pm in the evening, so if you are sight seeing, you have to be back before that to enjoy it. In fact in our 3 night stay, we couldn't use it cause of this, despite being avid pool lovers. At the entry, there are a series of steps, so if travelling with an elderly, it could be a challenge. Better to speak with the management prior to make some arrangements for the same.

The minute details. Everything about the place has been thoughtful. Good experience.

Bathroom drainage issue could’ve been a li’l better. But nothing major as such. Neat, clean, hygienic, and well maintained.

The ambience

Lack ac In restaurant

Old city, great vibes, walkable to palace. Haveli with a modern twist. Classical instrumental music . Great roop top bar.Sweet staff

Terrible Kathi roll..how can you even get it wrong?

Everything, the breakfast buffet, the rooms, the staff, the place, the vibe!

There's nothing to dislike. They have been running it like a family run place inspite being so big and that's their strength!

The Overall atmosphere

Nothing as Such

L'endroit est splendide avec piscine sur le toit et vue sur le City Palace qui jouxte l'hôtel. Point de départ idéal pour visiter la vieille ville. Le personnel est au petit soin et se soucis de votre bien être. On y mange très très bien.

El estilo, ubicación y comodidad.

Al ser temporada baja estaba bastante vacío y la piscina algo descuidada.

Overall, this property was an excellent value with a boutique hotel vibe. The room was comfortable, and the location was convenient. I would recommend it.

The property is on a busy road with lots of traffic. However, once you enter the hotel grounds, it is lovely.

The location was excellent

The 60 or so steps to reach the hotel reception were difficult for my elderly mother. There should be a clear sign that this is what you need to do. The windows face on to the courtyard, so with the blinds open, you had zero privacy and therefore had to keep the blinds down and then have no natural light in the room. The shower room had a very poor finish on tiling and woodwork. It needed hooks for your towels.

By far the best accommodation of our entire India trip. After some rougher segments, this felt like a real treat. The location is excellent, close to the center but removed from the chaos, which makes a big difference in Udaipur. The entrance is stunning, with lush plants and elegant stairs that immediately set the tone. The service is outstanding, genuinely on par with a world-class hotel. The entire property is beautiful, with great attention to detail. The restaurant (dore) was another highlight, serving the best food and cocktails we had in Udaipur. The pool is amazing, and the view of the City Palace is simply incredible. The staff were consistently attentive and also created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. The room itself was fantastic, extremely comfortable and with a real sense of luxury, you genuinely feel a bit like royalty staying there. We would absolutely come back and stay longer next time.

It’s not a cheap option, but considering the level of comfort, service, and overall experience, it felt completely worth it, especially coming from Europe.

The rooms were really nice, so was the location. Transportation arranged by the hotel was really easy and fair price.

However, breakfast was substandard. Only on our last morning there was a bigger buffet variety than the previous days - probably because of more bookings. Staff was alright but not everyone was friendly. The pool area is okay, but not nice enough to spend a few hours there. Towels at the pool were quite dirty and there wasn’t any catering service upstairs, even though staff didn’t have anything to do in the restaurant and the bar wasn’t too far away.

Excellent location

Lovely location, exceptional setup within the hotel.

Wonderful location with views from the pool to the City Palace. We liked the stepped entrance and the flautist in the courtyard in the morning. The place had a great ambience and had some nice details. Great air conditioning, good amounts of hot water. We benefited from late check out.

There was some initial reluctance to serve some drinks to us pool side - compounded by failure to provide pool towels. On the first night we had a very good dinner and wanted to have our desert on the roof - we were told we could not do this, since the roof top bar was a separate concern? Which seemed very odd and a little disappointing and put us off having desert. The hotel was quiet due to the time of the year - this meant that the first floor bar was closed, but the pool was often nice and quiet. So there were pluses and minuses. On balance better to have the pool largely to ourselves - with full occupancy I imagine it would be difficult. The fridge kicked out warmth rather than coolth, seems to be a common theme with these mini fridges in our stays across India though.

Swimming pool, food and location

nothing

I’d highly recommend Manuscript (10/10) if you’re visiting Udaipur. The food, service, rooms, and overall aesthetics of the hotel were absolutely amazing. Honestly, the only good food we had in Udaipur was at their restaurant, Dore, everything else we tried at the so-called “hyped” places in Udaipur was really disappointing. The cocktails were beautifully presented, and the rooftop is stunning, with a breathtaking view of the City Palace. Coming from Stockholm, I can confidently say the cocktails were top-notch. Whoever is managing this place knows what they are doing! The property is perfectly located in the city centre, everything from the main markets to the palaces is within walking distance. We had three cars with us, and the staff made parking completely hassle-free, which was a huge plus. Don’t miss this place,great price, great location, and an all-around fantastic experience! A special shoutout to Tulsi and Gunpal for being incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay….truly lovely people.

The only downside was the foul smell from the bathroom and the AC.

Le concept vieille bâtisse extérieur et très contemporain a l'intérieur j'ai aimé chambre spacieuse

Le petit déjeuner très moyen,nous avions la chambre 201 celle-ci est flanqué d'un speaker sur la façade qui diffuse de la musique très très fort pour tout l'hôtel et ceux jusqu'à très tard le soir,a fuir impérativement !!!! après trois nuits cela devenait pénible de ne pas pouvoir dormir avant minuit...le matin également un musicien joué de la flûte des fort des 8 h00

This is a beautifully designed hotel with a great view on the back of the palace and a rooftop terrace. It's quiet, with spacious rooms and great bathrooms (massive walk-in showers). Beds were comfortable, check-in staff very helpful, swimming pool is clean and refreshing. Lunch / dinner options are very tasty, 99% North Indian. Bar offers a good selection of drinks.

Restaurant staff are friendly but largely disorganised and invisible. Egg options are available for breakfast upon request but they are not offered so if you don't ask, you don't know. When you need more tea or coffee there's no staff to ask anywhere to ask. Breakfast choice is very limited (mainly Indian but when food runs out it's not immediately replaced).

Very good breakfast extremely good staff always happy to help , hotel is clean and in a fabulous environment

Great staff, friendly, helpful. Located a close walking distance from the City Palace. Room is beautifully decorated and clean. Plenty of nooks / places to hang out and relax outside of the room. We end up eating multiple meals in the restaurant and we were not disappointed.

There are a flight of stairs (no lift) one must climb up before reaching the property/lobby. Somehow we were not aware of this and it is slightly challenging for our 75-year old mum who has a bad knee. Otherwise, all is well

The hotel was beautiful. I loved the stairs leading to the lobby with beautiful trees. Such a stunning haveli with a beautiful renovation. I enjoy small boutique hotels with a personal touch.
