Jashoda Mystic Haveli

Great location Great rooms Great service Great hospitality

Very comfortable and felt like home, very clean and location was perfect

Rooms are a beautiful red stone, bathroom is clean - great if you like a heritage stay. Great location and nice quirky host. One of the best rooftops in the city. He gave us advice re not falling for tuktuks in tourist attractions as the hotel is 10min walk from them, what to see and where to shop.

A little bit noisy in the evening (prayers in the city in the middle of the night, dogs fighting..) but there is nothing the owner can do. The street is quiet and safe so I would definitely come back.

The only two reasons I liked staying at Jashoda Mystic were- A. Extremely close to the main market B. Spacious rooms

1. No toiletries - no handwash, small shampoo, body wash sachets 2. Dirty towels 3. No toilet rolls - I had to use mine 4. Really bad quality food - I had ordered breakfast (poha - uncooked and chai) 5. Hot water issues - they informed us after we took a shower that the two floors or I think the three rooms on our floor used only 1 heater hence the water only ran hot for a few minutes. I stood cold in the shower by the end of it with shampoo and soap on me because I was not aware of this. Sink did not get hot water 97% of our stay. During winters, hot water is a MUST for showers so keeping only one heating system absolutely doesn't make a sense. 6. I have lived in hostels, even they have kept toiletries so quite surprised at how there was nothing kept. 7. This is a very important and weird one - I booked a cab from them thinking it would make our travel time easier. Suddenly on the day of arrival to Jaipur, I got a call early morning when I had just woken up, the voice was not as clear hence I couldn't hear them properly. All I heard was Durgapura, so I assumed I've to let the driver know when we reach Durgapura. At about 9 am, I got a call from the driver saying he has arrived at the entrance at Durgapura, so I panicked and we had to rush about taking our bags outside. Then it went worse. It was an extremely random place hence we couldn't find the driver, so this guy just expects us to walk upto him. I had to beg him to come to us as we had luggage. When he arrived, there was absolutely no response from him and his attitude was more like unapologetic, quite rude. I tried being nice to him hence offered him breakfast and free food. No thank you or anything. It's extremely weird because we were almost at his mercy and all I would expect is for this guy to be decent. It was my partner's first visit to Rajasthan, so became very stressful.

Liked the big spacious bedroom which had high ceilings and plenty of space. The bathroom was a decent size as well but it uses an electric heater for the water so you have a very limited amount of hot water to have as your shower. Plus, it’s a struggle for the hot water to be left on so that heats up again because they switch off the hot water power supply all the time and you have to go and ask reception to get it switched back on again. The hotel kitchen, which by accident(because the order took so long we went to the kitchen to ask them how much longer it was going to be) we saw the insides of was way below safe kitchen hygiene standards.

The unhygienic restaurant kitchen.

Large spacious clean room Hotel in a quiet area Powerful shower.

Staff didn't speak much English, which was a problem at times. You need to keep making sure the power is on to hot water. They turn it off by reception.

Good room service. Staff are mostly good.

Staff who do not understand English.

very well kept and maintained. everything was spic and span. good location too. 2 minute walk to the ghats.
