Vivaana

A great place. The hotel was reasonably quiet when we were there. The staff were friendly, lovely and helpful. The room was large, lovely and clean. The food was great, including a packed breakfast when we checked out at 05:30. We would recommend this hotel.

This hotel has 30+ rooms, and was busy with small and larger groups during our brief stay. It was also being used as a set for a Bollywood film, which afforded a bit of excitenent, plus some irritation. Ours was a standard room, plainly but tastefully decorated, with plenty of room for luggage, a comfy big bed, clean bathroom with walk-in shower - positioned in the corner of a charming courtyard. More upmarket suites had mural decoration and luxury bathrooms, some on 2 levels. Food was OK but quite pricey. We sent back a salad that didn't have the listed ingredients, and a pizza looked pre-made. Local food was better; breakfast good. Wine exxy. Being asked to be silent during filming once or twice would have been OK, but happened repeatedly during our lunch. Not OK. Staff were friendly and efficient, but the (exxy) spa manager was a bit pushy. Town is quiet; others in the region more interesting. Vivaana comprises 2 renovated historic havelis: we were impressed by the owners' efforts in this project of rejuvenation.

Vivaana is located in a quiet village, with traditional architecture, and is what one would call a boutique small hotel. Very good food and service. The rooms are well appointed, everything comfortable. Couldn’t have found a better choice to stay in Shekhavati.
