    We arrived before check-in time and were greeted warmly. Our host, Govind, was amazing. He shared tips and information about sites to see. He knew good restaurants and places to shop. he even came with us one day to make sure we got there.

    Loved everything! Great location, value and service!

    Govind was the most amazing host. He helped us get rides, set up a pocket wifi for us to borrow, was present to help us when we left and arrived. We felt like royalty having someone always there for us and more importantly someone who genuinely wanted to help us. He was great playing with our little kids and not intrusive at all. Noticed not a lot of Western tourists in the guesbook and that’s a real shame.

    you will surprise where the apartment is ubicated, just in a ugly and dark place, but it is absolutely compensated with the charming apartment.

    the butler Govind, is incredible and facilitied us all related to Jaipur. The breakfast was the best in our trip in India with differents and exotic fruits daily. Also the boss, Mr. Singh was very warm even receiving us in his big house with his family. A true indian gentleman.

    Although breakfast was said to be included, when we were booking, it wasn't given complimentary

    Excellent rooms, very clean. Mr Govind was an exceptional care taker and kept room clean and helped us. Both me and my husband felt very happy staying in the place as rooms are beautiful. The location is also at a good place from many important landmarks for visiting such as Hawa Mahal, City palace and market.

    This hotel location is not good. You have to walk through local dirty narrow alleys, went on a dirty narrow staircase, and very difficult to find. But they gave us a palace like huge beautiful room, offered free breakfast, with good service. But I would not stay here again.

    Lovely place but know it will be just you there.

    The WiFi in the bedroom is patchy, although fine in the rest of the property. The mattresses are soft (but that's a matter of taste) and due to the location the bedroom doesn't have any external windows, which can feel odd even though it's enormous! It's very hard to find, down an alley and up some stairs, so you do need to coordinate your arrival with Govind. It's not the owner's fault at all but worth noting the restaurant which owns the beautiful roof terrace featured in the photos is currently closed due to Covid restrictions, and it's not clear when or if it will reopen. As mentioned above, if you like other people around and/or don't like having a very attentive chaperone, this may not be for you.

    It's important to note this is a single property, more like an AirBnB than a hotel (Booking.com gives multiple room rates for some reason which suggests there is more than one room), and it has a live-in member of staff permanently on hand (Govind). It is a great place, beautifully decorated, and Govind and the manager are both super helpful; but it's definitely more suitable for a family stay than a solo/couple one, in my opinion, as it can feel like you have no real privacy. It's right in the heart of the old town near the City Palace so very conveniently located, as long as you're prepared for the buzz of an Indian city centre! Govind prepares a great breakfast on request.

    nothing. it was perfect.

    Our couple had a happy experience being welcomed here. The room was very spacious and clean. decorated with beautiful traditional furniture and textiles. Govin, a hotelier, is very kind and polite. He gave us helpful information on our trip. The breakfast I ordered was also prepared in a nice place. This accommodation is so close that you can enjoy Jaipur's attractions on foot, and you can feel the tradition.

    The property cannot be easily identified by a first timer. If something can be done at the main road entrance to make it more conspicuous esp. around cleanliness, it will be great. The elevator can be missed easily as well and the switch of the elevator on the 2nd floor (where the villa is located) was broken.

    1. Govind. He is such an amazing person and gives more than 100% towards hospitality and comfort of the guests. He made our stay so convenient and even helped us in local shopping, among many other things. 2. The villa. You would get the entire villa to yourself and there is no one else to bother you. The bedroom is a masterpiece. I have never stayed at such a huge room before. It was such a relaxing and royal stay. I would like to visit again with my family. Last and not the least, you can visit the below places walking or just by taking a rickshaw/auto. a) City Palace b) Isarlat Sargasooli c) Jantar Mantar d) Hawa Mahal e) Johri Bazar f) Bapu Bazar g) Tripolia Bazar
