Udaipur's Hidden Gem: Hotel O Mahaveer Tower - Unbelievable Luxury Awaits!
Udaipur's Hidden Gem: Hotel O Mahaveer Tower - Unbelievable Luxury Awaits! (My Honest Take)
Okay, buckle up, because I'm about to gush (and maybe grumble a little!) about Hotel O Mahaveer Tower in Udaipur. Forget the usual sugar-coated reviews; I’m serving up the real deal, the Udaipur travel truth serum, if you will. This place is… well, it's something. And whether that "something" is pure bliss or a slightly wonky adventure, I'm here to tell you everything.
First Impressions & Accessibility (or the Lack Thereof… Mostly)
Getting to the hotel? Easy peasy. Udaipur itself is pretty accessible. But the first bump in the road? Access to the hotel. While they claim to have facilities for those with disabilities, I'm a little skeptical. I mean the elevator is there, and there's a vague mention of ramps but… it's not the primary selling point. So if you're mobility-impaired, double-check, triple-check, and maybe ask for photographic evidence of the ramps. Because first impressions matter, and while the exterior is pristine, the interior accessibility is something to look into.
The Room: My Personal Sanctuary (Almost!)
I went for the full experience and the room? Oh baby, the room! Let's just say, they've thought of everything. Air conditioning blasting the chill, a mini-bar begging to be raided (I indulged!), and blackout curtains that actually work. Seriously, after a day of sun and exploring, I slept like a baby, and that's a victory in my book. There's free Wi-Fi (thank heavens!), and a desk that doubles as a laptop workspace (essential for, you know, working).
Now, the amenities. The bathrobe? Plush perfection. Slippers? Check. But the real winner? The bathtub. After a day of traipsing around Udaipur, that soaking session with complimentary bath salts was pure, unadulterated bliss. And the separate shower/bathtub option? Smart move, O Mahaveer Tower, smart move.
"Internet Access – Wireless": Savior of a Traveling Soul!
Listen, in today's world, Wi-Fi is like air. You need it to survive. The free Wi-Fi in the rooms was a godsend! Video calls with my family, checking maps, updating my Instagram, you name it. I could even hear the connection. Very important for work or personal time.
Food, Glorious Food (and a Few Hiccups)
The hotel's dining situation is extensive, and sometimes overwhelming. They've got everything from Asian breakfast (noodle soup, anyone?) to your basic Western breakfast (toast, eggs, the works). The breakfast buffet is a feast for the eyes – and the stomach. I spent far too long selecting my pastries each morning.
And the restaurants? There are several. The A la carte options and buffet in restaurant were great! There's a poolside bar for those lazy afternoons, and a coffee shop for your caffeine fix.
However, a minor hiccup: the vegetarian restaurant was a little…limited. Being a carnivore, I was saved. But friends who want options might want to double check what's available.
Relaxation Station: Spa Day, Poolside Dreams & Other Things
This is where O Mahaveer Tower shines. The swimming pool is gorgeous. You're able to get lost, gazing out on that view! There’s a pool with a view (they know how to market, don’t they?), and I practically lived there for a while, soaking in the sun and sipping on some cocktails.
And the spa? Get this: I had to try a Body scrub and massage. I emerged feeling like a whole new person. They have a sauna and a steam room too, if you're into that sort of thing (I am!).
The "Things to Do" & "Services and Conveniences" (Let's Be Honest)
They have a gift shop to pick up some souvenirs. Laundry service is available. The employees are really amazing. There's room service around the clock (hello, midnight snacks!). This is a pretty smooth operation, and a lot of the little inconveniences of travel are taken care of.
Cleanliness and Safety: Reassuring in a Post-Covid World
They're taking cleanliness seriously, which is a huge relief. Plenty of hand sanitizer, daily disinfection, and staff trained in safety protocols. Room sanitization opt-out is available. Plus, the Staff trained in safety protocols gave me peace of mind.
For the Kids (and the Big Kids)
They are family/child friendly and offer babysitting service and kids meal, but I'm assuming it is still a slightly more grown-up vibe. The swimming pool will delight the kids, and the restaurants can create Family/child friendly atmosphere.
Getting Around
Free car park is available, and they also offer airport transfer and taxi service - very convenient!
The Quirks (and the Rambling)
Okay, let's get real. This isn't a perfectly flawless hotel. There was a slight issue with the coffee machine in my room (it took me about 20 minutes to figure it out). The elevator was a tiny bit slow (but hey, I’m in no rush on vacay). Not every waiter spoke impeccable English (but they were all incredibly polite and helpful!).
The Verdict & My (Very Impassioned Recommendation)
Hotel O Mahaveer Tower is not just a hotel; it's an experience. It’s a place to unwind, to indulge, and to experience the magic of Udaipur in luxury. It’s not perfect, but it's got a heart. Is it expensive? Maybe, but you're paying for quality.

Udaipur Unfiltered: A Mostly Accurate Itinerary (with a Side of Chaos)
(Pre-Trip Ramblings - Because, Let's Be Honest, That's How This Starts)
Right, so Udaipur. I've somehow convinced myself, and maybe a travel buddy (bless their tolerant soul), that this is the year. I'm picturing myself draped in vibrant fabrics, sipping something exotic, and staring dramatically at a lake. The reality? Probably mostly sweating, wrestling with a rickshaw driver over the price of a ride, and frantically trying to remember where I put my phone charger.
Day 1: Arrival and the "Oh My God, This Is Beautiful" Moment (Followed by a Slight Panic)
- Morning (Well, technically, Afternoon): Land in Udaipur. The flight was, predictably, a study in human endurance. I spent most of it attempting to not spill coffee on a stranger and eavesdropping on a highly dramatic phone conversation. The air sizzles with heat, a spicy, fragrant welcome. Collect luggage (fingers crossed that the bag with all the essential saris made it). Get. To. Hotel. O. Mahaveer Tower!
- Afternoon: Check in. OMG. The hotel is…well, actually, it's pretty standard. A bit more dated than the photos suggest, but hey, that's travel, right? It's clean-ish! (Emphasis on ish.) Room number? 207. Let's hope it’s a good omen because I’ve had a history with rooms with “7”s. I dump my bags, and then the real drama begins: the balcony view. I take a deep breath and let out a silent scream. It’s stunning. Lakes, palaces, the whole shebang. I've seen photos, of course, but this…it's breathing.
- Late Afternoon: Explore the hotel vicinity. Get my bearings: the closest chai wallah, the closest ATM (because, duh, I’m in India), the bakery, and find some food. Start with lunch at somewhere nearby (need some fuel!), or food near the hotel. What a way to start the trip.
- Evening: Okay, back to the hotel. I have to get my bearings and I had to find laundry service!!!. Dinner somewhere in the old town (need to figure this part out). Try to get a good night's sleep (unlikely, given the jet lag and the general excitement).
Day 2: Lake Pichola and the Quest for the Perfect Chai (Which, Let's Be Honest, Will Never Happen)
- Morning: Early(ish) start. Hit the hotel breakfast buffet—expecting something like the photos, but it’s fine! Explore the nearby market and street food (the brave part of me comes to life).
- Late Morning: Embark on a boat ride on Lake Pichola (this is what I’m most excited about!). I'm picturing myself gliding serenely across the water, bathed in golden sunlight. (Reality check: I'll probably be jostling for space with a thousand other tourists, trying not to drop my camera in the water, and simultaneously roasting. Oh, and the views will be amazing, of course).
- Afternoon: Explore the City Palace. Attempt to appreciate the history. Fail. Get sidetracked by the intricate details of the architecture. Fall in love with a random courtyard. Take a million photos. (Or a billion).
- Late Afternoon: The chai quest begins! Wander the streets, sampling chai from every vendor I can find. This is a personal quest, people. Purely for research, of course. I’m aiming for the perfect concoction: the right balance of spice, sweetness, and that indescribable something that makes Indian chai so addictive. I’ll probably end up with a stomach ache. Worth it.
- Evening: Watch a sunset by the lake. Attempt to look sophisticated and contemplative. Probably end up looking like a sweaty mess. Dinner at a rooftop restaurant, hopefully with some live music.
Day 3: Sajjangarh Fort and the "Is This Real Life?" Effect
- Morning: Today, we're tackling Sajjangarh Fort (also known as Monsoon Palace)! I'm picturing panoramic views and feeling like a queen.
- Late Morning: Hike up to the fort (or take a taxi—depending on just how hot it is). The views are breathtaking. I might actually cry. (In a good way, hopefully).
- Late Afternoon: Shopping! The markets are a labyrinth of colors, smells, and potential for overspending. Negotiating prices is an art form, one that I am completely and utterly unskilled in. I'll probably buy something I don't need, just because I can’t resist it.
- Evening: A last dinner, maybe a cooking class. Reflect on life. Or maybe just on how I’m going to fit all the souvenirs in my suitcase.
Day 4: The Departure (and the Bitter Sweetness of Leaving)
- Morning: One last leisurely breakfast. A final wander around, soaking up the last moments. A final chai (because, addiction). Head back to the hotel. Pack!
- Afternoon: Check out of the Hotel O Mahaveer Tower. Say goodbye to the friendly staff (and secretly plan my return). Head to the airport, possibly with a mild case of food poisoning from all the chai and street food.
- Late Afternoon: Board the flight. Feel the bittersweet sting of leaving this magical place. Relive the trip and plan the next one.
Post-Trip Ramblings (Because, Obviously)
So, will everything go according to plan? Absolutely not. Will I have moments where I want to pull my hair out? Probably. Will I get lost? Guaranteed. Will I have moments of pure joy and wonder? Absolutely yes. That's the beauty of travel, right? The mess, the magic, the memories that stick with you long after you've unpacked your suitcase. And hopefully, I'll bring back some amazing stories (and maybe even some good chai). Wish me luck!

Alright, Buckle Up! Your Unofficial, Totally Honest FAQ About Hotel O Mahaveer Tower - 'Unbelievable Luxury Awaits!' (They Ain't Kidding!)
Okay, so, "Unbelievable Luxury"... Really? Is this just marketing fluff? My budget's screaming!
Look, I'm a cynical travel blogger by nature. 'Unbelievable Luxury' usually translates to 'Overpriced and Pretensious.' NOT HERE. I mean, yeah, you'll pay more than a hostel in Varanasi. But... *whew*... From the moment you step into the lobby, with that subtle scent of sandalwood (or maybe it's just really expensive incense? Who knows!) you just *feel* different. Like, "I deserve this," levels of different. The staff? Actually friendly. Like, *genuinely* happy to help. I walked in with a backpack that looked like it wrestled a badger, and they still treated me like royalty. My jaw dropped. 10/10 would recommend.
Is it actually clean? Because I've seen hotel rooms that look like the aftermath of a toddler's art project.
Oh, the cleanliness! I'm a bit of a neat freak, so this is crucial. My room was spotless. Like, *surgical* levels of clean. The bathroom? Sparkling. The bed linens? So crisp, I swear I could hear them whisper "luxury." Seriously, I dropped a crumb (I’m human, okay?) and the cleaning staff, bless their hearts, descended like a swarm of angels with a tiny brush and dustpan. Made me feel a little guilty, but hey, that's their job, right? They even made towel animals! I got a swan, which felt... judgmental. Still, A for effort!
The food – Spill the tea! Is it worth the extra cost? I'm a foodie, and my standards are HIGH.
Okay, the food. Here's where things get *really* interesting. The breakfast buffet? Absolutely insane. Everything from fresh fruit piled high (like, *dangerously* high, I was worried they’d topple) to perfectly cooked dosas. I ate my weight in aloo paratha and felt zero shame. Room service? Amazing. I ordered a midnight snack of butter chicken and naan (don't judge my choices, it was a long day of sightseeing!) and… perfection. The butter chicken was creamy, the naan was fluffy, and I may have licked the plate. I’m not proud, but I’m also not sorry. Seriously, though, it's a culinary adventure. The hotel's restaurant had a view that was breathtaking, but I was so concentrated on my dinner that I almost forgot to enjoy it!
What kind of rooms are available? Anything for a solo traveler who doesn't want to feel like they're rattling around in a ballroom?
They've got *everything*. From cozy little rooms perfect for a solo traveler like me, to suites that are bigger than my apartment. Honestly, I saw a couple practically getting lost in one of the bigger ones. They've got different views, too - overlooking the pool, the city, or even the lake. I went for "city view" and it was stunning. Especially at sunset. Like, Instagram-worthy stuff. Even the "smaller" rooms (and by smaller, I mean still pretty darn spacious) are beautifully decorated. Plus, the beds are like clouds. I swear I slept for like, 12 hours straight one night. It's the kind of place where you could easily spend a full day just lounging in your room and not feel guilty about it. Seriously, my advice? Treat yourself to a room with a balcony! The view is worth every penny.
Okay, so beyond the food and rooms, what else is there? Pool? Spa? A pet sloth?
Okay, no pet sloth, sadly. But the pool? Yes. And it's gorgeous. Big, sparkling, and surrounded by comfy loungers. Spent a whole afternoon there, sipping on cocktails (highly recommend the mango lassi!). The spa? Oh. My. God. I had a massage that was so good, I almost fell asleep on the massage table. Almost. Don't tell anyone! They offer a range of treatments, and let me tell you, after a day of exploring Udaipur, it was exactly what I needed. You can tell the staff really care about the details, they even had little chilled towels to wipe your face afterwards (which, let's be honest, felt like pure heaven). There are also little touches like a gym (I didn’t use it, but it looked fancy) and lovely common areas for relaxing.
Are there any hidden costs? I HATE those! (The sneaky little extra fees that pop up on your bill)
Alright, I'm with you there! Nobody likes surprises on their bill. Honestly, at the hotel, it was pretty straightforward. They are very upfront about everything. They charged a premium for laundry which I would avoid. They also charge for alcohol, but that's to be expected! The Wi-Fi was included, which is a huge win. The only "extra" I really paid for was the amazing massage at the spa and those mango lassis by the pool. But honestly, they were worth every single penny! I'd say keep an eye on the minibar (because those little snacks add up!), but on the whole, no nasty surprises.
What's the location like? Is it easy to get around Udaipur from there? Because Google Maps sometimes lies.
The location is fantastic! It’s very close to the city center, which is super convenient. You can easily walk to some of the main attractions, like the City Palace and Lake Pichola. But, like, good walking shoes are a must, and bring some water. The staff can arrange transportation (tuk-tuks, taxis, etc.) and the area is pretty safe. I ended up wandering around a lot on my own, and always felt comfortable. Honestly, it was easy to get everywhere I wanted to go. And the hotel staff were brimming with helpful tips.
Any major downsides? Be honest!
Okay, here's the honest truth. My one tiny complaint? The elevator was *slightly* slow, and I found myself occasionally taking the stairs, which is a bit of a hike given my general lack of fitness. But hey, a little bit of exercise never hurt anyone, right? And honestly, that’s the biggest issue. There was a tiny bit of street noise at night, but nothing earplugs couldn't solve, or that the glorious air conditioning couldn't compete with. Otherwise, it was pretty much perfect. I'm honestly struggling to find anything negative to say! Okay, maybe that I missed a chance to buy a good souvenir? But seriously, I was too busy luxuriating to thinkChicstayst
