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.
