I had an excellent stay at the Shree Vilas Orchid. I had booked my stay there through a travel agent (Safar Travels - who were excellent) that had prepared a week long itinerary in India. I had left from Delhi and Udaipur was my final stop of the tour, where I stayed at the Shree 2 nights, August 14-16 2013. I wasn't sure what to expect as my travel agent informed me that the rooms were tents, but due to a national holiday, he was unable to find anything nicer during those days. I was pleasantly surprised by the "tent rooms" when I arrived, which had all the amenities and a fantastic view of the lake. Management and other patrons were very friendly and I found the food to be very good. While I did not expect "luxury" accommodations (I had been staying at 5-star hotels), I found this hotel to have everything I needed (flat screen tv, comfortable bed, shower/bathroom, A/C), was clean and comfortable, and had a very good experience overall. Udaipur ended up being my favorite city during my travels. The hotel is a little hard to find and expect to walk there as the streets are too narrow for cars. I was the only westerner there during my stay, but I felt comfortable and welcomed. I would recommend this hotel to those that want a different experience.
