Rajputana Haveli

Good location for visiting the main historical attractions and bazaars, but opposite side of town from railway station and took a bit of time for tuktuk driver to find - make sure you have the hotel phone number with you. Tucked off the main road so nice and quiet. Rooms were large, beds comfortable, excellent breakfast, excellent wifi. Aircon in one of the rooms was noisy, but owner assured us all the old units were about to be replaced. Couple of basic but perfectly adequate restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely return if and when we return to Jaipur.

The pictures online do not accurately show the condition if this hotel. The check in was easy. Bed was fairly comfortable for sleeping, great big extra blankets on request. The rest of the room needs updating. Bathroom was not up to western standards of cleanliness. The shower head, shower curtain and towels were all old and need to be replaced. The first night there was a celebration outside until at least midnight and had we not had earplugs we would never have been able to sleep. There is no insulation, no soundproofing and the hotel is located off a very busy, noisy street. front desk clerk kept pressuring us to eat at restaurant. Breakfast was not included and we did not visit the restaurant. Even thought this was a budget accommodation, it left a lot to be desired. Would not recommend staying here.

Hotel rooms need to be designed for better spacing between the furnitures. Lots of opportunities to get hurt by the furniture placed in the room.

Good

The first thing you need to know, not the fault of the hotel, is that GPS and Google maps have the location wrong. Let your driver call the hotel for directions. Just off a busy street, so convenient for taxis to museums and City Palace, etc. Staff is helpful and friendly. Good meals at the rooftop restaurant, breakfast is included. My niece sleeps in and they prepared a breakfast tray for her each day and walked it down to our room. Little grocery close by and a nice sweets stand a couple of block away. Lots of Indian families and international travelers were guests, so a safe place to stay. Nothing fancy, but the bed was comfy, the water hot for showers, and it met our needs for a stay in Jaipur.
