Surya Haveli , Amer Fort Jaipur

The decor and design are great. The place is clean and well kept. The service is top-notch. Mr. Pankaj was very attentive to our needs. We asked for all out mosquito device. He provided it in no time. He also provided us with dinner which was delicious. It is in walking distance to Amber Fort and very convenient. We loved our stay in this haveli and definitely it gives you a taste of history and Rajasthani spirit.

It has a great location, walkable to Amer Fort, Panna Meena ka Kund and Anokhi Museum. One of our rooms offered a view of the fort. The service is excellent. They served the meals on time, according to our needs, food was delicious (especially the papad mangodi sabzi). The rooms were a uniquely decorated, comfortable and had amazing shower.

One of rooms felt a bit small.

Comfortable room with western-style bathroom (water pressure in the shower is absolutely lovely). The hotel restaurant offers a variety of Indian and Western-style options (sandwiches, pasta, grilled chicken…). They also serve western-style breakfast (freshly made omelette, fruit, toasts…). We could pay both the hotel and the restaurant meal by card (although we had to insist on paying by card the meal since the quantity was “too small” according to the receptionist). The hotel staff was extremely helpful talking to our Uber driver on the phone to arrange pick-up since the traffic on the main road by the hotel was completely blocked. The hotel is conveniently located 5-10 min walk to the Amer Fort for an early morning visit when the fort is less busy.

If you are claustrophobic, this hotel is maybe not for you - the room windows are small (some rooms don’t have windows) and the walls are fully covered with bright-coloured wall paper, giving a feeling of “small space”. Also, we ordered pasta for dinner and got sick overnight - not completely sure it was directly linked since we had already been travelling in India for 1 week but worth mentioning!

Rooms were clean, location is good and right next to the Amber Fort. We ate at the hotel restaurant one night and the food was great

The staff member behind the front desk was quite rude when we arrived. Very curt and no smile to welcome us and very unhelpful when we asked about cash for our driver given the cash machine at the end of the road didnt work. The staff also pushed us to pay in cash (20,000 rs. / c. £180) when we checked out. Luckily they were able to source another card machine but given the issue we had with the local atm, the struggles across india with atms (most only allowed me to withdraw 5,000 rs at a time) and the fact they had my card on file i found this baffling. The decor is a bit overwhelming and thr bottom and first floor lack natural light
