Vivaana Culture Hotel

I had reached Vivaana with my wife in the evening. She was unwell during the journey and needed immediate medical attention. As we entered the hotel, I requested the person at the counter for help. Mr. Vikas at the reception was exceptionally helpful and left all his work and check in formalities to first get my wife to the room and then arrange for a doctor. I shall be ever so grateful for their help. I had thought the help they had given us was out of the way but what I didn't know was that they had already upgraded us to a better room without us even asking for it. During our stay at Vivaana, apart from the exceptionally amazing and courtious staff, we were served delicious rajasthani food in the lawn with a bonfire, traditional rajasthani songs sung by locals and a puppet show. The hotel also has a lot of history to show to it's guests which comes from the fact that they have kept the originality of the haveli intact in terms of the beautiful Frescos, old wooden doors, windows, carved walls etc. They have done an exceptional job in restoring the 100 odd years old haveli and keeping all the history intact. They have built new bathrooms in the old haveli rooms but it doesn't feel like it was never there. All in all, if u are thinking of spending a few days in the historical mandawa, you should not think twice before booking Vivaana.

Good experience to get feel of traditional Haveili in Rajasthan & enjoy cultural programme. The havel is maintained to keep the aesthetic beauty intact. But modern services are prompt &upto the mark. Only the food part to be taken care of.Waiters are really rude &very slow in service. Even the quality has to be improved. Tradional marwadi food cooked did not taste good.Same food repeated &many items were missing at times. Sorry to say that one extra cup cannot be taken as room service does not provide any. Also location is so so & lot interior.They keep lights off of main entry &it become very scary for new clients. It needs to be improvedone as the amount of money spent iis not compatible with services.

The property is truly a heritage one and we had an amazing time. The effort of the owner in retaining the heritage of the property is quite evident. The staff is extremely courteous and warm which made us feel very comfortable . The food and ambience is awesome. Will recommend a stay at this property for sure if anyone visiting Mandawa. A special mention for Manager Mr. Singh for his pleasing personality and courtesy. The property is best for family with kids as they have indoor n outdoor game facilities. Elderly people can enjoy the view of the property if they don't want to explore outdide and can spend time in the garden area as well. Overall a perfect gateway for weekends for family.

We really enjoyed our stay at Vivana, great effort by Promoters to restore this 130 year old Haveli and blend it with modern lifestyle. A perfect getaway from metro life in lap of history, culture and great hospitality of Rajasthan. Only disappointment was lots of noise around in village due to festivities around Mahashivratri, and we did not use the earplugs supplied by hotel. Great food, great weather, friendly and courteous staff made the experience even better. Strongly recommend for a great Haveli experience.
