After a short taxi ride we arrived at the hotel which turned out to be very nice and situated just by the lake which Udaipur is built around.
We started off by leaving our luggage in our room and then went straight to breakfast at the rooftop restaurant as it was still early in the morning when we arrived. What a view and what a breakfast after a log night at the train!! We could choose from a long menu and we could pick five items per person. Very good coffee, juice, banana pancake, toast and fruit – most luxurious breakfast in a long time! Read More
The reception, which unfortunately did not have air conditioning that could cool our sweaty bodies properly, was really just a huge room with a clerk at a small desk. The ceiling height was probably 10 meters and the dome of the ceiling was adorned with lots of ceiling paintings.
We checked on the maps in our phones and found out that our hotel would be located less than a kilometer away and we decided to walk to get an opportunity to see what this place looked like.
We walked on gravel streets with large holes, greeted many children and their families and became properly sweaty before we arrived at the hotel. Except for the cows and dogs we always meet we also saw a lot of pigs in different colors and sizes.
At the station we were a little confused as our train was not showed on any sign in the station. After asking a number of people, we realized that the train was delayed and for some strange reason delayed trains disappear from the signs and no information is to be found anywhere. However, we found a man at some kind of information desk who told us that the train would depart from track 2, so there we went.
The area where the hotel is located is not very fancy but our hotel, Seven Hills Tower, was super nice. This hotel was not the most good looking hotel we have stayed in, rather like a very normal international hotel with good standard, but the staff gave us absolutely outstanding service. Always a “Namaste” and a smile ready – also in the early morning hours. And not to forget the doorman with his stylish turban and nice looking clothes at all times.
