THE EXPERIENCE

About the Property

"Come for Udaipur. Stay for the people you meet."

Right in the heart of Udaipur, Citylights by Musafir is made for travellers who want to experience the city, not just pass through it.

Start your day exploring old streets, lakeside cafés and hidden corners of the city, then come back to a space where it's easy to slow down, meet fellow travellers and make plans for the evening.

With comfortable private rooms and dorms, a social common space and a rooftop café to hang out over food and conversations, Citylights is your easy-going home base for everything Udaipur has to offer.

Whether you're here for a weekend of exploring, a longer Rajasthan trip or simply a few slow days by the lake, check in, drop your bags and let Udaipur take it from there.
