  • 4/5 Abdeali D. 9 months ago on Google β€’ 130 reviews
    Mangaldas Ni Haveli is a heritage hotel The rooms at Mangaldas Ni Haveli are spacious and well-appointed. They are decorated in a traditional Gujarati style, with polished wooden floors, high ceilings, and intricate latticework. The bathrooms are large and have modern amenities. The hotel has a number of common areas, including a courtyard, a library, and a rooftop terrace. The courtyard is a great place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. The library is a great place to read or work. The rooftop terrace offers stunning views of the city. The staff at Mangaldas Ni Haveli are friendly and helpful. The hotel also has a restaurant that serves traditional Gujarati cuisine. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. I would highly recommend Mangaldas Ni Haveli to anyone looking for a unique and memorable stay in Ahmedabad. I hope this helps!

    Mangaldas Ni Haveli once a quaint abode to a Nagar-Brahmin family, is located in the center of the historic UNESCO declared World Heritage City of Ahmedabad. This beautiful building was acquired by the Mangaldas family in 2006 and has since been restored, only after retaining its original charm. The entire building is like a fine wood sculpture. Estimated to be over 250 years old. This Haveli is laden with architectural motifs, intricately carved pillars, facades and quaint balconies overlooking a central courtyard. The Haveli also has an integrated rain harvesting system with underground water storage tanks, known as 'tankas'. The Haveli makes us sentimental about a lifestyle, which has become alien. It also has a rich history, as it once belonged to poet Bholanath Divetia. One can still read the faded letters "Mahalaxmi Bhavan" over the huge wooden doors. As we enter the open courtyard with a Tulsi in the center and water tank near a narrow staircase, leading upstairs, from where we can look down into the kitchen. The mosaic floored terrace of the second floor is the focal point of Haveli with its play of light and shadows, wired glass panes, open windows and the ceiling painted with pink floral motif, a Lilly, which recurs often in the wooden carvings. Now this old Haveli (mansion) is turned into a modern hotel with all the luxuries of a 5 star hotel. It’s in the middle of the congested old town, surrounded by dilapidated structures & narrow allies. Those who are fascinated by the old town charm, it’s an ideal location to explore the old town on foot. Rooms are very comfortable, and well decorated, with some considerations for aged or disabled - bathroom has rails and a shower chair. It's location is in the old walled city of Ahmedabad in narrow lane, cars can't come within a km of this place but tuk tuks can. The area is scattered with 100, 150 and 200 year old grand bunglows of old Gujarati traders. Abandoned but we can see timeless Burmese teakwood hand carved work around the area on facades of old Houses. The old city has 12000 registered heritage properties and Ahmedabad got the UNESCO World Heritage City for that fact. There is a night market of just Food (Manek chowk food market) that sets up just 300 meters from the hotel and we can enjoy great local delicacies there till 2 am. It's chaos in the day time but this was great experience that I'm glad I took on my third trip to this city. We can took a night heritage walk which must be great.

    Mangaldas ni Haveli is one of the most famous attractions of our city. Its located in the middle of the old city. Its close by 2kms from the House of MG. The inside decor of the Haveli is very lavish. The white walls and colourful artworks inside it are the most beautiful things to explore. The Haveli has also got a Cafe inside it which has all kinds of local food of our city and the Haveli also has all kind of Modern facilities to avail though its located in the centre of Pols of our city. Its a must visit place for all the people who are visiting first time Ahmedabad.

    Heritage property is not being maintained properly these days. I last visited 4 days ago and roam around To have a look and i saw neglience of management staff. No water in pond and antique frog near the pond was full of dust. Even the antique furniture was full of dust. Also the staff at reception table is busy in their own phones. They dont revert you properly. Being owner of an apparel brand i was looking out for such heritage premise to shoot my upcoming collection but the staff is not responsive. Hope the owner gets to read my message and do necessary changes or else this beautiful heritage property will be spoiled.

  • 2/5 saravana k. 7 months ago on Google β€’ 39 reviews
    Slightly exaggerated from what is advertised. Location is in such a place that commuting, travel to and from hotel is a nightmare. No car or auto rickshaw guys would like to come here as it is highly chocked with traffic at all times. There's no place left to even walk. Our cab guy dropped midway and we had to walk all the way with luggage. Not a traveller / neighbor friendly area are people are grossed in their businesses and don't even bother to reply or help. Hotel has got some relics and some remnants of old era but nothing close to heritage. Refreshments are not available at this place, as announced, to go out and have even a cup of tea is a nightmare. No food delivery guys will deliver here. Heritage tours start from 10 pm, for obvious reasons, and you can see only dark walls and silhouettes. May be for others, but overall it's not a happy experience for us. Travellers! Pictures are all over Google for Manek Chowk area. Kindly research and decide.

    Ohhh this historical building is very very near to my home as walking distance of only one minute. Totally wooden art and craft. Colour full light inside. Main doo and all windows are crafted from wooden art called "nakshi karigari".

    The stars are for the well appointed rooms in the property.. but the property itself is located in the super busy part of old Ahmedabad. The website of house of mg claimed that they organise shuttle pick up and drop service but the shuttle is essentially just an auto.. sometimes their own and many times regular autos rented.. at slightly odd hours you will be left to fend for yourself and make your way to and from the property. So pls don't stay here if your flight is arriving or deparating at an odd hour. Also the staff at the haveli is fairly un helpful. I wish they had spent some time with staff training at a semi luxury property.

    The restored Mangal Das ni Haveli brings out the architectural excellence and one of the most beautiful haveli in the Old city. The cafe has a limited menu but taste good. At night the spaces looks mesmerising and gave you that it was worth visiting it

    This place is in the slums full with Mosquitoes So don’t get fooled by nice photos of the site You can not get to this place by a car Even a rickshaw does not wish to take you to this site during the day it’s a night mare to get at this place and at night there is no one there so you will be isolated The only company you will have are Mosquitoes Mosquito bugs and more Mosquitoes The staff are rubbish The site is only after your money Think twice Do your due deligence before booking We actually paid them the full fee Went down and after visiting the place we had to leave in a hurry although we had paid them for a night It’s the worst place I have ever visited It’s a breeding ground for Mosquitoes The management are robbers Therefore very unsafe

    Its a beautiful private property in a highly crowded manek chowk. So crowded that it literally becomes inaccessible by cars and cabs. Reduced a star because of location. For accessibility stick to the main propery

  • 4/5 Jaimin P. 2 years ago on Google
    Saw it from outside. This mansion is close from Manek Chok. It's exceptionally carved wooden structure. Its sister mansion called Mangaldas ni Haveli II is also nearby. It's converted into heritage (and costly) hotel.

  • 3/5 Anish P. 3 years ago on Google
    The ambiance is great. But food options were unavailable when we visited. Only available items were cold coffee and juice (not fresh, but packaged) which were way too much overpriced and lacked taste and lusture. Can visit here for some pics, since it's an old heritage building. (Photography is actually prohibited, but somehow the staff just asked us not to do once, after which we still continued, but they didn't resist)

  • 4/5 Akshay D. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Chiranjeev M. 4 years ago on Google
    Simply amazing. The location is fantastic. It has its own character. Rooms are gorgeous and so is the ambiance of the entire place. It was an old haveli (Villa) that has been conveyed into hotel. With all modern facilitates it brings to back in the early 1900’s architecture. Food at Pol Kohli (the cafe) is good too. Plus You have Easy access to so many street food vendors in the vicinity. Manek chowk (night street food market) is just a comfortable 3 to 4 minutes walk. I have stayed in almost all room types at this place and it just keeps getting better every time :) Do visit ManekChowk, Jumma Masjid, Lanes around this place and shopping arcades. Love being at this place. Coming back again.

  • 5/5 M.S. R. 5 years ago on Google
    Best mansion converted into heritage property. This is located away from city's hustle bustle in a very artistically curated 200 year old building. The best way to know old city and its heritage starts from here. You will be spellbound by the wood work at the central courtyard as well as exterior wall. The pillar brackets are marvellous and the front mansion is also equally awesome.

  • 5/5 Jay B. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful carvings and real structure of POL culture of old Ahmedabad creates a perfect shadow of family togetherness. One of the best viewing experience of the city area.

  • 4/5 Vrushik G. 5 years ago on Google
    That's something which is really representing "HERITAGE". It's worth a visit and should understand the architecture of that place which is designed in such a complex context. So beautifully preserved and maintained. You might not get permission if you directly visit there, you should first take the permission from The Agashiye near Sidi Sayed mosque.

  • 5/5 Arzad K. 6 years ago on Google
    What a lovely place. Had a full toss time there. It is a typical pole haveli of old Ahmedabad. Getting here is easy in rickshaw or 2 wheelers, as u may get stuck in 4 wheelers. Place is very nice for foreigners. Food also what they serve here is very nice. They serve in organic vessels. Good interior. Nice well and swings. Very well maintained, clean and hygiene place. View from top is very nice. Makar sankrati (kite festival) is one of the best time to go here and so is this the best place for flying the kites, pl refer the photos. On the whole a very good place and best if u want a feel of old Ahmedabad.

    A beautiful place for stay and nicely re structured heritage house. Almost near to all heritage sites and havelis in Ahmedabad.
