French Haveli

Overall we were disappointed with this stay. The property is charming but the photos show it to be brighter and cleaner than the reality which was disappointing. The person in charge is incredibly nice and works hard to please and accommodate but the place itself needs some attention. We booked two rooms. One for a couple and one for our adult daughter. The daughters room right next to the front door did not have a lock on it and that for us was unacceptable and we draw the line on using that room when the solution (from the owner) was to get a chain to secure her in! The manager found an extra bed and we moved her in with us. Our other room, the Heritage suite, is nice and the bed linen ok. The room was remarkably quiet being on the top floor, the same could not be said for our daughters room being near the entrance. The breakfast is simple but nice The laundry was efficiently and well done. The towels need replacing - they feel well below standard. The shower curtain was dirty and needs replacing. If using a bank card, instead of cash, there is a surcharge to pay of Rupees 500. It feels like it has a lot of potential as it’s an interesting property with a lot of charm but it needs some attention to the points above.

It was a delight to stay at a place with such architecture and character of its own. The manager was kind enough to help me navigate the narrow lanes. The staircases are a bit steep, so people with knee issues or elderly can find it a little difficult to go up and down. Other than that everything else was good. Helpful staff.

This restored old Haveli is quirky and charming. Just 4 rooms, no two alike, and a staff of delightful young men. It is set deep in one of the old areas of Ahmedabad, accessed by foot or three wheeler from the main road. A project of the Three Foundation, it serves a reminder of the architecture and lifestyle of the ancient pols, or neighbourhoods, of the old city. An evening stroll around the area introduces the many cultures and religions that have lived peacefully together for centuries.

I was horrible experience in the hotel. I booked a room with French Haveli for 2 days from GOIBIBO when I reached at the hotel and I went in the the room. The room was very small there was no TV and the bed was very small the door was quite old fashioned not like the regular door that used to be in all hotels I concerned for my security at night . There was window AC that was also not working properly. The photographs were decent on the website when I booked the hotel but In reality It was really bad. I didn't like the room so I decided to cancel it but Hotel didn't cancel my booking and they charged me full amount without any service and stay. Very disappointed with Hotel behavior's. I felt cheated and they don't even bother to address my issue.

We staid only one night at French Haveli, but loved how Bensi the caretaker runs the whole homestay like his family home. The dinner prepared around the communal table was so lovely. The Haveli is a bit hidden in the residential part of the old city, and of course a 200 year old house has its quirks, like low ceilings and a bit of noise, but the bed and bathroom were very comfortable.

I was travelling with a friend and had booked the room Chabutro for a night, and left without staying. The bathroom of the room, is far apart from the room- You basically have to use the toilet/bathroom attached to the reception rather than the room. Was not at all comfortable with it and the property didn't have any other vacant room that day. The hotel owner denied giving any refund. Had to book another place nearby rather than feeling uncomfortable
