Narayan Niwas Castle

The breakfast variety and quality were praised. Guests appreciated the comfortable beds and spacious suites. The exceptional staff provided excellent service and hospitality.

Truly atmospheric rooms, friendly staff and great owner. I felt very welcome. Rooms are full of character, beautifully decorated and are part of the maze-like fort that oozes history and charisma. The family and staff occupying the fort are all great people. Everything is possible and information + tips are always available. Feels like home stay in a fort. The rajasthani food served here is home made and very tasty. I've been travelling in India for total of 1½ years and still got some new tasty dishes during my one week stay. Mahansar is small village and by Indian standards very quiet during night. It's easy to sleep well here.

Booked a heritage suite through booking dot com based on the reviews I read. Excellent price point. I needed somewhere to stay between Jodphur and Delhi and luckily stumbled upon this place. Incredible property, very original. The heritage suite was a unique experience. The bed was comfortable and the windows and door flyscreened so you could get some ventilation. The cooling is via a ceiling fan, I didn’t need it on at night as the temperature was cool. You can ask for a bottle of water. Bathroom- Adjust your expectations- it’s ancient, well priced and mostly an experience stay. Don’t expect a/c or a modern bathroom. Soap, hand towel, bath towel and toilet paper are provided. Dining- welcome drink on arrival. Tea and coffee can be requested. A meal (delicious) was provided for 650 rupees plus tax. The sweet and sour tomato recipe was delicious. Specify veg or non veg. A dessert was also served. Breakfast was hearty and plentiful- delicious fritters. Tours- I took a tour of the significant sites as recommended. Rajesh provided a 1 hour tour at most for 500 rupee ( be aware there are additional charges if 50 and 100 to access 2 of the sites- you will need change). I believe the tour sometimes lasts longer, the other guest before me had a 2.5 hour tour- he was a photographer and was also using a drone. I’m not sure how you’d access the Havelis and temple without a guide, certainly without Hindi and knowing where to ask it’d be difficult. Staff- very pleasant and accommodating. Major bonus- they accommodated and provided good meals to my driver free of charge, he was extremely happy with this. A great experience for my last night in India.
