The Experience Resort is a stay in the Ambamata area of Udaipur, only a couple of minutes on foot from Lake Pichola, which makes it one of the more convenient bases for a first trip. It offers lake-view and courtyard-view double rooms, each with a king bed, an outdoor pool and an on-site restaurant. It sits in the part of the old city where the Jagdish Temple, the ghats and a string of rooftop cafes are all within a short stroll, and the City Palace is roughly a 17-minute walk away. It suits couples and independent travellers who want to explore on foot rather than by car, and who would rather have a quiet, modern room and a pool than the grandeur of a palace hotel. Rates sit in the upper mid-range, so it works as a step up from a guesthouse without moving into luxury prices.
Location and getting around
The great advantage here is the walk. Lake Pichola is about two minutes away on foot, the Jagdish Temple about eight, Gangaur Ghat about nine and the City Palace about 17. Lake Fateh Sagar is roughly 14 minutes on foot, so both of Udaipur’s big lakes are within reach without a taxi.
The railway station is about a 16-minute drive and the airport about 45 minutes by road, so allow time on arrival and departure days. The lanes around the hotel are busy and narrow in the evening, so ask the hotel how best to reach the door with luggage.
Rooms and facilities
The room types are a Luxury Double with a lake view, a Premium Double with a lake view and a Premium Double with a courtyard view, all with one king bed. Rooms have air conditioning, heating, ceiling fans, a smart television, an electric kettle, toiletries and a hair dryer, and free infant beds are available. There is an outdoor pool, an on-site restaurant and barbecue grills. English breakfast is available for a surcharge, so check what your rate includes when you book.
Free WiFi and free self-parking are provided, along with a 24-hour front desk, a concierge, luggage storage and laundry and dry-cleaning services.Who it suits: couples, friends and solo travellers who want a quiet room close to the lake and the old-city sights, and who value being able to walk to dinner. Several well-known rooftop restaurants are only a few minutes away on foot, which means you can eat with a lake view without arranging transport. Families with older children will find the pool useful after a day of sightseeing.
Pets are not allowed. Good to know: check-in runs from 2 pm to midnight, with late arrival available during limited hours, and check-out is at noon. If you want a lake view, choose that room type when you book rather than assuming it, since the courtyard-view room faces inward. Sunset is the busiest time on the nearby ghats, so a late-afternoon swim followed by a short walk to the water makes an easy evening. Rates rise sharply around Diwali and the wedding season from October to March, so book ahead then.
