Fantastic pool on the roof of the Udai Kothi hotel, with great views to the palace across the lake - accommodation on this side of the lake has the best views. The pool can be used by non residents for a few pounds so I checked out and into a cheap hotel across the road with a lovely laid back terrace and better views from the rooms than Udai Kothi's, as it was on the lakeside rather than set back.
