Jaipur Haveli

This was a lovely place to stay for a couple of nights while visiting Jaipur. The room was comfortable (and the paintings on the walls/ceilings were very pretty!). The location was good: it's away from the main street, but within walking distance of restaurants and shops. Breakfast was delicious, and the family who runs it is super nice!

Little gem in the packed city of Jaipur. Beautiful, old traditional building with a wonderful garden. I loved all the details, the roof top, and the tasty breakfast and dinner. What really made it so special is the warm and welcoming family!! Thanks to Vikram and his family, and the tuktuk driver Sony, I had an incredibly pleasant stay and impression of Jaipur. Vikram also helped me a ton with my further travel plans, I can't thank him enough for that. Whenever back, I hope I can stay with them again.

Be aware that it can be noisy in the room, as it is basically completely permeable to the courtyard. Other people/guests, TV, etc.

Lots of character. Vikram and his father were great hosts, interesting people and conversationalists, who offered advice for both Jaipur and the rest of my visit to India. It was nice to stay in a true family home, whilst still having your own space. The food was fresh, tasty and generous. Very well located.

One minor irritation - and it wouldn’t affect me staying again but is worth highlighting as feedback - was that a rickshaw driver was allowed to sit inside the Haveli waiting for me each morning on the assumption I would go with him for the day. It was unexpected and uncomfortable, especially as they reacted with significant disappointment when I declined and pursued me out into the street trying to persuade. Don’t get me wrong, this will happen everywhere in Jaipur, but it shouldn’t be within the safety of “home” in my view. I’m sure the intention of offering safe drivers is good but the approach left me feeling uneasy.

An amazing family stay. Brilliant staff and owners. Felt like we had a great insight to indian life.
