They is also air conditioner in every room should one need it during summer times. They have started A'La Carte menu. Buy we suggest stick to the Parsi set menu. This offers fish, chicken/mutton, rice, lentil curry and chapatis. The service guys are quick and polite and will handle all your requests during the stay. Look out for the mango ice cream guys that come in auto rickshaws. The ice creams are prepared in the old fashioned way churned by hand. Also, the ladies that come to sell papads, peppermint leaves and lemons. The hotel is a 5 min walking distance from the Iranshah Atash Behram. It's nice place to stay overnight or if one wants to rest for a couple of hours between drives.

The waiters, who doubled as AC maintenance guys, gave us ridiculous reasons for the room being hot. After causing a scene, the owner came and simply stated that all their ACs were in good condition, despite the clear evidence to the contrary. We were shown two other rooms, but none had proper cooling. Eventually, we settled for a room that at least had some cooling. The food was expensive and not tasty. I strongly advise against staying at this property where the owner does not care about its flaws. I had no choice but to stay there, as there were no other available rooms in Udvada. Sleeping in my car with the AC on would have been a cheaper and more comfortable option.

So carry some standard stuff. If you are reaching late in the night (post 6PM) be careful while following Google maps it may take you through a shorter route which requires crossing a railway crossing and that closes post 6PM. So better ask someone for Udvada town and then from there follow maps.

The food was previously included in the room rate, but now they have switched to an 'a la carte' system, which can be more expensive than a decent-sized hotel. The rooms are poorly furnished and priced per person, resulting in a cost comparable to a 3-star hotel for an average family of four. Despite this, the food is of good quality.

However, they have recently switched to an a la carte system for meals, which is misleading as guests are essentially limited to a fixed menu of the day. Additionally, the individual pricing under this new system has significantly increased the cost of meals. The hotel also has exorbitant markups on soft drink bottles. Overall, the pricing and lack of options make it feel more like a 5-star hotel in Mumbai rather than a hotel in Udvada village.
