BALARWA HAVELI

Place is good inside city point

Nothing to say

Good value for the money, position convenient as close to the train station, the personnel was very accommodating. They cooked for me at midnight and let me keep the suitcase after the check-out twice.

The cleanliness has much room for improvement, the bed was not very comfortable, some stray dogs and trash in front of the place. If you arrive after the dark from the train station, do not attempt to walk but take a tuk-tuk or a car.

The owner and the staff were really helpful. Anything we asked for we got, and quite quickly. The food was great and very reasonably priced. We travel widely, but this is the only place where the food didn't cause any problems for my father who has a health condition. The restaurant on the rooftop was a great place to eat, with a view of Mehrangarh fort in the distance. It made our stay special. The day we left, the owner sent us some spices from his farm.

The room sleeps four. The double bed in the room was good with clean bed linen. The extra bed was a couple of mattresses on the floor, which is fine, but there was dirt under them, and the sheets were dirty and stained. I asked for and got clean sheets, but this should have been checked. The room hadn't been properly cleaned after the previous guest. There were no tables to put our suitcases on, or a wardrobe for our clothes. We asked for and got a large table. The shower was not working. These were small things and can be easily taken care of. We almost forgot about it with the hospitality of the staff and owner. Though cars can come to this property, Uber doesn't come any farther than the main road which is a 10min walk. Generally in Jodhpur, taxis and autos are problematic.

The best above all was the readiness of the staff, to attend to any issues, very attentive and very friendly. The location is very near the train station, which is very convenient. It's not in the historic area, but easy enough to get there. Note that online taxis will not go there, you need to walk a block or two (or a rickshaw could take you). The roof top is a fun place to be, with great food, and good views of the fort.

We had a street level room, and although it is a relatively quiet street, there was still quite a bit of honking. The room was very spacious, but poorly utilized with furniture which we hardly used. The bathroom was very austere (no place to put personal hygiene items, for example), and we had to ask for toilet paper. Cleanliness was not up to par. Overall, we thought the place was overpriced for what was being offered.
