Hotel Review

You know you’re in Pushkar when you look out of your bedroom window and there’s a herd of camels. Situated down a pot-holed backstreet, a 1km walk from the town centre, Dia is in a slightly unusual location but it’s delightfully secluded. Five years ago, owner Anoop Mahotra transformed his beautiful, whitewashed home into a BnB. He and his golden Labrador, Peepo, still live on the ground floor. The five spotless rooms are modern (marble floors, white walls, heaters and a minibar), but still typically Rajasthani (arched, latticed windows and old haveli doors with brass padlocks and ornate keys). They have different colour schemes (Surya is turquoise; Savera is pink) as well as embroidered bedspreads, vibrant rugs and stylish paper lanterns. Savera is perfect for families of three as it has a single and king-sized bed. Great touches include cosy window-seats, plenty of bookshelves, comfy floor seating and piles of books on quirky, antique furniture. Cheery staff members serve you a scrummy breakfast of granola, yoghurt and pomegranate, porridge or toasted sandwiches in the rooftop restaurant – or, even better, in bed. There’s no lunch or dinner here, but Sixth Sense, the restaurant at sister property Inn Seventh Heaven, is a short, complimentary rickshaw ride away and serves some of the best food in town.
