Dera Jaipur - Luxury Heritage Stays in Bani Park, Jaipur

Our 2-day stay at Dera Jaipur was comfortable and enjoyable. The staff was welcoming, friendly and attentive, and they took the trouble to find a set of safety pins for us. Dining at the verandah amidst the tranquil atmosphere and tasteful decor was delightful. We also appreciated meeting fellow travellers at the Homestay. We would recommend Dera Jaipur to our friends and would stay here again. Thank you.

Very comfortable, large rooms, nicely decorated, good location, friendly hosts and staff. It felt safe and would be a good place to stay if lone traveller. Able to walk to other restaurants

Nothing

clean. big room.

overpriced in general. breakfast dissapointing. coffee undrinkable.

Beautiful villa with gardens and terraces! Extremely clean and comfortable. Interiors are well designed and all amenities are provided. The owners and the staff are absolutely wonderful and helpful. The homemade food was delicious and carefully prepared. We felt at home and welcomed every single day of our four day stay!

What didn't we like? Everything was great at Dera. It was very silent, the staff was super attentive, the rooms are very clean. The staff suggested a great driver to drive us around Jaipur for a full day and a fair price. 10/10, would stay here again!

Nothing.

It was beautiful, comfortable and in a great location

Can’t think of anything

The homestay is beautiful and clean. The non-management staff of the homestay are incredibly polite and helpful.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of things which significantly degraded our experience at Dera. It started with us being allotted a room which looked very different from the pictures online. We booked a King Room with an extra large double bed according to the listing, but were given a Super Deluxe room with twin beds. When we raised this issue, they joined the two beds together and said that it was standard practice. Not only wasn't this bed extra large, the two mattresses kept moving apart and my partner and I were not able to sleep comfortably together. The larger problem is that Dera is not distinguishing between all the available rooms on booking.com well enough, and is instead bundling them up into a single category, and justifies unmatched expectations with the fact that the rooms belong to the same category. It should be noted that they offered to move us to a room with an extra large double bed, but one which was on the ground floor and next to the kitchen. And we did not want to be disturbed with the noise of the kitchen and guests coming in, and chose to stay in the allotted room. We also faced poor service from the management of the homestay. After facing the room allotment issue on the night of our arrival, all we received from the management was justification and not a single apology. They offered a small monetary compensation, but one which was rescinded after we declined the room they showed us on the ground floor. The manager of the hotel also caused a lot of miscommunication over the three days. Firstly, he offered to provide information via text about specific shopping opportunities which we inquired about, only to tell us that his "guy was unreachable" many hours after we had expected his text. Secondly, he specified that the homestay could prepare the mutton in a spicy and non-spicy way, and on requesting him for the non-spicy mutton, we still got the spicy mutton which my partner could eat.

Dera homestay was a wonderful experience. The family are very welcoming and helpful. The home itself has been beautifully decorated and maintained. Location is excellent, only a short ride to the old 'Pink City' and attractions such as the Hawa Mahal, City Palace and the fort. The home itself is tucked away from the hustle and bustle on a quiet residential street.
