Lal Ghat Guest House

Udaipur


This mellow guesthouse by the lake was one of the first to open in Udaipur, and it’s still a sound choice, with an amazing variety of older and newer rooms. Accommodation ranges from a spruce, nonsmoking dorm (with curtained-off beds and lockers under the mattresses) to the best room, which sports a stone wall, a big bed, a big mirror and air-con.

Most rooms have lake views and those in the older part of the building generally have more character. There’s a small kitchen for self-caterers.
