Reviews and Ratings
Staying at French Haveli was a unique experience. The guesthouse is beautifully restored and offers spacious, comfortable rooms with delightful balconies. The staff was accommodating, and the breakfast was tasty, but the noise during Diwali was challenging. Plus, the steep stairs might not be ideal for everyone.
Staying at the French Haveli was like stepping back in time, complete with modern amenities. The ambiance is cozy and filled with history, making it a unique experience. The staff, especially Mohan and Bansi, were incredibly kind and attentive, enhancing our stay. The breakfast menu was a delightful journey through local flavors, although I felt it could benefit from adding more Gujarati dishes. Overall, it was a lovely experience, though the location might be a tad challenging for those arriving by car.
I had a wonderful time staying in the Haveli. The unique layout and tastefully decorated rooms offered a charming atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I enjoyed the delicious breakfasts and traditional meals served throughout my stay. However, the steep staircase can be a bit challenging, and I experienced some delays with service, particularly with meals not being provided if not previously arranged.
My stay at this guesthouse was quite an intriguing experience. The haveli has a unique charm and is beautifully decorated, but getting there was a bit of a challenge due to the narrow streets. The room was spacious and clean, but I found the steep stairs difficult to navigate. The dining offered decent meals, but timing could be an issue during busy hours. Overall, it provided a valuable glimpse into old Ahmedabad, but be prepared for some discomfort in accessing the property.
The Haveli offers a unique stay with a charming layout and beautifully decorated rooms. The breakfast and evening meals were excellent, adding to the experience. However, the steep staircases can be a challenge for some, and we faced issues with card payments. Overall, it's a great place to immerse yourself in the local culture and enjoy a serene atmosphere, but some aspects could use improvement.
