Such a lovely place in the old town but not inside the bit where cars cannot go so you can easily take Ubers everywhere directly from outside. The staff are lovely and super helpful responding immediately to any concerns. Eg my door wouldn’t bolt from the inside as it was a bit stiff so the reception team sent someone right away to fix it which they did. My aircon stopped working possibly due to a power outage locally and again this was fixed within minutes of me reporting it. The room and property itself are lovely. Wonderfully individually decorated rooms. Yes there is traffic noise from the street but you don’t really hear that in the rooms so much. I use earplugs and I had a lovely restful sleep in the gorgeous bed with soft linen.

It was all lovely

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Diwan’s Bungalow, a beautifully maintained heritage property with royal charm, elegant lighting, and a regal ambiance. The room was spacious and well-arranged, with a comfortable sofa, cozy bed, changing room, clean restroom, TV, air conditioning, and an excellent breakfast. The reception and support staff, both morning and evening shifts, were extremely friendly, helpful, and highly professional. They provided valuable advice whenever needed, took great care of every detail, and even followed up via messages before check-in and after check-out. Overall, it was an excellent experience.

Suggestions for improvement: An additional fan near the bed would be a welcome addition. I also noticed some black ants in the corners and corridors; addressing this would enhance the experience further.

What I Liked Heritage Charm: The bungalow’s authentic 150-year-old architecture and interiors offer a unique, immersive experience—far different from the usual hotels. Staying here truly feels like stepping back in time, with original wooden furniture and vintage décor beautifully preserved. Central Location: Being situated in Raikhad, at the heart of the old city, meant all major markets and the railway station were within easy reach, making it very convenient for shopping and business. Warm Hospitality: Mr. Mahendra Chaudhary and his staff deserve special mention for their welcoming and flexible approach. We arrived quite early (before 8 AM), and they accommodated our check-in without hesitation or any extra charges—an exceptional gesture. Modern Comforts Blended with Tradition: While maintaining its old-world charm, the bungalow has been updated to include modern comforts such as air conditioning and well-appointed bathrooms, ensuring a comfortable stay

What I Didn’t Like City Noise: Due to its location in a crowded part of the old city, outside noise—car honking, motorcycles, street life—was clearly audible until late evening. A higher level of soundproofing would really help light sleepers. Wi-Fi Connectivity: The hotel’s complimentary Wi-Fi was sometimes weak in our room, likely due to limited access points. Upgrading this with additional routers or better coverage would greatly improve the experience, especially for guests needing reliable internet.

Almost everything. The furnishings and grounds were wonderful, the staff totally focussed on making our stay enjoyable. Packing lunch for us for a train trip.

Not much! The breakfast waiter didn’t know there was a menu so attempted to tell us verbally, there were issues with the card payment machine which should have been identified and fixed by front desk staff earlier

A beautiful heritage bungalow with large rooms & beautifully decorated. The staff are all very kind & helpful, a big shout for Avirup The Manager. The breakfasts are fantastic taken in the colorful dining room overlooking a lovely courtyard garden. We really enjoyed our stay & would definitely recommend staying here.

It’s on a busy road but once inside you can’t hear the traffic.

Beautifully kept property and rooms were a delight. Breakfast was quite royal. Amazing spread.

The TV remote was not working but it doesn't matter as you are not here to watch TV.

Very good breakfasts served in a delightful garden setting

wet towels removed when fresh towells were delivered to the room

Gorgeous rooms, clean, shower base recessed into the ground so no wet floor in bathroom. Staff all friendly, helpful and welcoming. Great food and peaceful location

Great Ambience, excellent staff, good hot served breakfast, part of great heritage

Less time to explore

Everything, from start to finish, superb.
