Krishnayan Heritage

We had stayed here a couple of years ago. A nice homestay kind of hotel, it's a heritage old building converted into a hotel. Very well kept and clean. The owner was there on the premises and we even had a good conversation with her during our stay. Very good vibes overall and the breakfast was also great. Only negative is to find the place entry and get in. It's on a very narrow lane area. Still, i recommend this place for your stay at Gwalior! It's great.

**Krishnayan Heritage: A Timeless Experience**|Step into Krishnayan Heritage, and you are immediately transported back a century, into the regal ambience of Maratha royalty. This charming haveli, built over a century ago by the descendants of the legendary Dadasaheb Phalke, was originally named "Krishna Mandir" in memory of Krishna Bai Saheb, the grandmother of Shri.Vijay Chandrasenrao Phalke. (Present co-owner of the property) Presently Shri Vijay Chandrasenrao Phalke and his wife, Smt. Lalita Phalke, graciously host guests at what is now known as "Krishnayan Heritage."|Despite being a century old, the haveli remains both charming and grandiose, with rufous-dressed stone walls, stone pillars, high ceilings, and Burma teak wooden double leaf doors. The front room, now a reception area, retains its vintage charm with a traditional Indian-style "zoola" (swing) for guests to enjoy. The property features nine rooms, including two suites each comprising two bedrooms and a living area. All rooms are spacious, with beautifully decorated double beds, cupboards, luggage racks, and clothes hangers, exuding a vintage charm.|The bathrooms offer a relaxing atmosphere due to their unusually large size, which rivals that of the best five-star hotels. Luxurious sanitary fittings and fixtures, including glass partitions for the shower area, rain showers, two-way mixer diverters, and countertop basins with single lever mixers, add to the indulgent experience. The only downside is the instant water heater with a small storage capacity, which does not provide a comfortable hot water bath during winter.|Krishnayan Heritage does not have a dedicated kitchen, but lunch and dinner can be made to order. Breakfast is included in the tariff, although it's complimentary the options are not many but unlimited and is served daily in the dining area.|One of the most positive aspects of this homestay is its location, right in the heart of the shopping and market area. Despite this, the interior of the haveli remains tranquil. Guests can enjoy the best local ethnic food at nearby restaurants, and there are several local vendors serving kachori, puri, and of course that Atalji's favourite halwaiwala's gulab jamun in the mornings, as well as a renowned flavored milk vendor offering Keshariya milk.|In conclusion, Krishnayan Heritage lives up to its reputation as the best homestay in the region. The manager and staff are polite and courteous, ensuring a peaceful and royal stay in the realm of 19th-century royalty.|Highly recommended for those interested in an authentic royal homestay experience in Gwalior.

We spent three very enjoyable nights at Krishnayan Heritage. Beautiful haveli building with large courtyard and massive reception area, both nice places to relax. The room was very comfortable with a huge modern bathroom. Really nice breakfast too with a mixture of fresh fruit, regional items (poha, paratha) and omelette, toast etc. Gwalior is a fascinating city, plus we did a very interesting day trip to Bateshwar and Mitawali temples via Mr Gopal c/o their travel desk. But the best thing about Krishnayan Heritage is the warmth and hospitality that both the staff and owners show to their guests. Highly recommended

An absolute treasure. The homestay gave us a glimpse of the heritage it carries. The warmth and hospitality extended was truly special and we felt touched by all the flavors it offered- the decor, the food it served, the smiles of the people who were in attendance and every little detailing that went into to make it personalized. The city which was supposed to be a stopover for us will forever be etched in our memories because of our short and special stay here.

Well maintained and lovely heritage home, wonderful staff, apart from luxurious room the common areas are enjoyable too. Car hire service desk too, that provides good car and driver with decent pricing to visit nearby historical places. Good to see so many foreign guests enjoying the property.

Very tastefully curated and maintained place truly reflecting rich culture of the city. Staff is very polite and coordinating. The breakfast was healthy, home cooked and very tasty, and the cleanliness within the room and everywhere else was top tier. This place is a must stay for unique blend of homely and regal vibes at the same time.

The hotel is practically at the center of a market but once inside the hotel compound you will not feel it. The interior ambiance is amazing. Rooms big and spacious. You get the feeling of staying at a Palace but with modern facilities. House keeping very friendly. Owner very helpful. Breakfast was basic but sufficient. Diner was nice.||Special note: We had to leave early and the manager was kind to get us some breakfast packed but the owner went out of the way to ensure that we did not just get packed breakfast for us/kids but a 3 meal course !! Thanks a lot
