Detailed Reviews
We stayed here in January for 2 nights . The room was lovely , it was weird how the shower was in place but we couldn’t use it , that needs amending . We had dinner here on both nights , there are no other options in the village . The food was good the first night but the second night it wasn’t so good . 600 rupees is too expensive. Breakfast was ok but it might be a good idea to try and be more prompt , we’d said what time we wanted to leave but breakfast was very slow in coming .
The hosts were very nice and their kids were delightful and so well mannered ,
I’d only suggest reduce the price of the evening meal and more fruit at breakfast .

I stayed a few days in the Haveli in January. It was a wonderful experience, similar to a home stay. When you stay at the Haveli, it’s like staying in a home. The rooms are clean, crisp and beautiful. The hosts are a local family, with 4 wonderful children. I spent an afternoon flying kites with one of them. The family was very attentive to my needs. The family cooks diner in the evening, which was some of the best food I had in Rajasthan. Everything was absolutely delicious. The hosts come and speak with you as well during diner and make sure you are happy!
I really recommend this Haveli to anyone that wants to experience a local life all whilst staying in a beautiful place.

Incredible interior. We couldn’t believe the beautiful architecture. Plenty of large clean slabs of stone make up the walls, floors, and showers. Beautiful vintage wooden doors.
Delicious simple vegetarian meals.
Run by a family that has family history in the building and the fort dating back centuries. The couple running it are professional tour guides who can also provide very informative tours. It was cool that Parvati is one of very few women guides around. They both speak great English, and Parvati speaks French. Sudhir, the husband, has family history as priests in the local temples. Very knowledgeable.
They were so helpful, I even forgot a suit for a wedding and they drove down to me as I was nearing the train station to personally deliver it.
Would stay here again.

A lovely little haveli. The hospitality is great and the family is very nice but unfortunately if you are charging over a 100 USD a night you probably need to not have a shower with a bucket. You also probably need a fridge and WiFi and need access to payment options other than cash.
Breakfast was only a little light on but other than that it was definitely an authentic Rajasthan experience.

A very sweet haveli, perhaps the only haveli, within the fort in the heart of the old city. It is tended with such love and care, and the hosts are incredibly warm & generous. The dinner & accommodations are simple but authentic. A lovely place but challenging to stay in cold weather because of very limited hot water and heat. And barely functional internet service might also prove inconvenient for some. — Jill & Michael

We had a wonderful one night stay in the Haveli. The family looked after us so well and took us to the amazing fort. Dinner in the candle lit open area of the house was stunning and the room and bathroom were very comfortable. Going up onto the roof and watching the village waking up was very special.

My fiancé and I had an amazing stay at the Padmini Guesthouse inside the Fort of Chittorgarh. We had such a warm welcome from Parvati and Sudhir, the owners of this lovely place! Both of them are tour guides, and Sudhir is the descendent of several generations who lived in the fort. Thus, we had great conversations about Chittorgarh history and about India as a country. We had also a delicious dinner as well.
We can only recommend this lovely place to anyone looking for a calm and clean place, decorated with much taste, and can also recommend the tour guide services of Parvati and Sudhir.
If we come back to Chittorgarh, we definitely know where we’ll be staying 😃

I had such a lovely weekend staying with Parvati and Sudhir in their beautiful Haveli, right inside of Chittorgarh fort. They and their family and staff all went over and above in terms of their service and making me feel at home. They upgraded me to a suite as they had one available! The food was plentiful and delicious, and they had proper Italian coffee, and served me chai whenever I liked. I did a tour of the fort with Parvati, which I would highly recommend - she was incredibly knowledgable. Sudhir gave me excellent directions for when I did an excursion to Bashi.
The Padmini Haveli itself is a lovely building in a great location - lovingly restored, full of plants and flowers. And it's lovely to be staying inside the fort itself. Oh and they also let me borrow a bicycle to cycle around the fort for some great views at sunset!
And they let me check out late due to when my train was departing (and Sudhir even dropped me off on his bike to go to the station).
I would totally recommend staying here for a really unique and special time in Chittorgarh.

Spent 3 1/2 weeks travelling around north India and this was our favourite place to stay. All staff were friendly and welcoming. It was great to stay in Haveli in which the family also lived and took pride in, with home cooked food that was both delicious and different. Breads etc were topped up as required. Chittaurgarh Fort was a great place to stay as there are only 2 places to stay over night. We enjoyed being able to comfortably walk to all the sights without having to dodge too many vehicles, although tuk tuks were readily available if required.
Would definitely recommend this place to stay as part of a trip to India.

This is the perfect place to a have a break during your travels. You can easily spend some days in this lovely Haveli, which is built around two courtyards. There is a beautiful library/reading room and an open air corridor with relaxing chairs and plants, perfect to just have some time off and read (unfortunately we planned only one night stay, so had no time to fully enjoy it). There is also a rooftop terrace, the use of it depending on the season. The rooms are tastefully decorated, with comfortable beds etc. Meals are fresh and home cooked. Parvati is your perfect host, she is happy to help you in any way. She is not only a warm person, she is the perfect guide to take you on a visit to Chittorgarh Fort, she is very knowledgeable about Indian history and heritage. We tend to visit sites mostly without a guide, but were very happy we chose Parvati to accompany us, I would strongly recommend, you won't regret it. If you are looking for a place to stay in Chittorgarh, this is it. Locationwise it is also perfect.
