Jaiwana Haveli is a small heritage hotel at 14 Lalghat, in the same lakeside lane as Jagat Niwas, and it is our budget pick. The property listing shows a class of 3, a guest rating of 8.8 from 414 reviews and a very central location: Lake Pichola is a one-minute walk, Gangaur Ghat, the Jagdish Temple and Bagore Ki Haveli are about two minutes away and the City Palace is 11 minutes on foot. A rooftop restaurant gets frequent mentions in reviews for its lake views, and the property lists free WiFi, free parking and a terrace. It is simple rather than luxurious, but the location, price and views make it a strong base for a short stay.
Location and getting around
The haveli is in the old city, so you can walk to the City Palace, the temple, the haveli show and the ghats. Udaipur City station is an 11-minute drive and the airport roughly 37 minutes by road, with a paid airport shuttle listed. The lanes around Lalghat are narrow, so travel light, and ask the hotel about the best access route for taxis.
Rooms
The standard room on the booking page is compact, with a double bed, air conditioning, free WiFi, a safe, a TV and a shower. One guest review contradicts the air conditioning and elevator listings, so confirm both when you book if either matters. Higher-floor and lake-facing rooms are the ones to ask for, and lanes can be noisy at night.
Who it suits
Budget travellers, couples and solo visitors who prioritise location and a lake-view terrace over amenities. It is a good value base for first-timers who plan to walk everywhere. It is less suited to travellers who need a pool, a gym or a quiet, resort-style stay.
Good to know
The on-site restaurant, Jaiwana Haveli Rooftop, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a buffet breakfast for a fee. Free self-parking is listed, though the lanes make car access tricky, and bike rentals are available. Book early for the November and Diwali weeks, when budget hotels in the old city fill first, and compare rates with and without breakfast.
