Guest Reviews

• Taoufik (9/5): -
• Flavio (9/5): - Instalações e atendimento muito bons. Localização.
• David (10/5): A wonderful stay on a beautiful heritage property. - Beautiful heritage features in a lovingly cared for property. Shoshna was a friendly and helpful host. Our stay was excellent value.
• Harriet (9/5): We enjoyed everything about our stay. We appreciated the advice on where to go and what to see. A driver was also recomm - We received a very warm welcome. The position within the Pink City is vibrant but once inside, you are in a haven. Rooftop was wonderful and we enjoyed watching the kites and life above the city. Breakfast and dinners were delicious.
• Antoinette (10/5): - Friendly, clean, helpful and centrally situated
• Geoff (10/5): A lovely experience not to be missed - This is a little oasis in the heart of Jaipur. We loved the whole experience. Rooms are great, staff were fantastic. We enjoyed our beers and G&Ts on the terrace each evening. As we arrived late the first night we ate in the restaurant and it was so good we ate there our other two nights as well. They also put us in touch with a great taxi driver who looked after us during our stay. Nothing
• Gavin (10/5): Wonderful Stay with Genuine Family Hospitality - We stayed at this haveli in Udaipur last week and it was absolutely fantastic in every way, truly a 5-star experience. The accommodation was calm, beautifully maintained, and spotlessly clean, making it a very relaxing place to stay. The real highlight, however, was the staff and the owners. They were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel more like guests in a home than visitors in a hotel. Their hospitality was genuine and thoughtful throughout our stay. One of the most memorable experiences was having dinner with the family in the evening. It was such a lovely and authentic experience, giving us a real insight into Udaipur life and culture. It made our stay feel very special and personal. We would highly recommend this haveli to anyone visiting Udaipur who is looking for a peaceful, clean, and truly welcoming place to stay. We would definitely love to return in the future.
• David (10/5): - My 6 night stay at Khatu Haveli was delightful. I stayed 3 nights in a single room and then 3 nights in a courtyard double. I ate dinner twice and the food was varied and delicious but wow, the family recipe for the dry fried Okra! Superb. The staff were so friendly and helpful and as a writer, sitting in the cool shaded courtyard was the perfect spot. I can't recommend this hotel enough. Nothing was too much trouble. A+++ Nothing
• Astrid (10/5): Incredible stay - We loved everything. From the staff that is so friendly and kind to the property that is so beautiful and clean. Food is also delicious. We had an incredible stay and we’ll be back next time we are in Jaipur Having to leave
• Bruno (9/5): Perfect family business in Jaipur - This hotel is an oasis inside the organized chaos that the city of Jaipur offers. It’s a family business, run by incredible people. Gayatri is always very attentive to your needs. And the food they bring in for dinner is fantastic - I ended up having dinners at the hotel every night. It was such a good find and I’ll certainly be back in case I return to the city. At first impression, the street that it’s on is not great. But you will get used to it, as Jaipur is like that. The area is super safe, though.
• Kathrin (10/5): Gemütliches Heritage Hotel aus der Kolonialzeit - Einfach alles! Eine goßartige Unterkunft, die unsere Erwartungen übertroffen hat. Die Zimmer sind in einem ruhigen Innenhof untergebracht sodass man von der Straße draußen fast nichts mitbekommt. Diese sind geschmackvoll im Vintagestil eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das angebotene Frühstück und Dinner war sehr gut und wir haben gerne dort gegessen. Toll war auch die Dachterrasse mit Blick auf ein Fort. Alles war super!
• MITSUNORI (10/5): Highlight of Jaipur - A beautifully maintained traditional building where you can experience authentic Jaipur. The room was comfortable, and we had no issues with the hot water at all. The rooftop views are spectacular, and the owner and staff are incredibly kind. They introduced us to a driver who turned out to be the best! We would definitely come back to Jaipur just to stay here again. NOTHING. note: Not the best choice for people who dislike stairs.
• Catherine (9/5): Un excellent séjour - 3e séjour dans cet Haveli. J’aime les terrasses, l’architecture, le calme en plein centre de Jaipur, le professionnalisme et la gentillesse des hôtes Ras
• Jacobus M (9/5): Sfeervol hotel. - Sfeervol erfgoed hotel. Lastig te vinden op digitale kaarten
• Richard (10/5): Home stay at it's best, we loved it and the owners so much we are going back next year. - From the moment you arrive to he moment you leave you are made to feel welcome and that your experience is the focus of attention for the staff. Food was amazing and nothing was to much, I needed a hair cut and the hairdresser was there 15 minutes later. Honestly nothing, it was perfect.
• salvatore (9/5): - La grand disponibilité de la gérante. E le charme de l Haveli.
• Jan (9/5): Khatu Haveli jest obiektem o charakterze boutikowym, ulokowanym w prywatnym pałacu miejskim. - Dobre, obfite śniadanie w jadalni przypominjącej salon pałacyku. Na życzenie dokładka jajek lub pieczywa i napojów.
• jenneth (10/5): Wonderful stay in a historic building. - It’s owned and run by a delightful family, so welcoming and friendly but also very efficient. Our courtyard room was lovely with a large, firm bed, storage and bathroom with large shower. Everything was very clean. The roof terraces were a highlight, gin and tonic delivered to order and fabulous views over the city and all the kite flyers. Fixed menu dinner home made and delicious, recommended. Be aware there are fairly steep stone steps up to the roof terraces and one flight to the dining room. No problem for us but tricky if you have mobility problems.
• Maria Belén (8/5): Good hotel! Worth to stay there - This place is quite an experience. It’s an historical building. The staff is very helpful and attentive, the room was clean and very comfortable. The breakfast and dinner were excellent, and it has a terrace with what must be some of the best views in Jaipur. At night the room was a little bit dark and it didn’t have a desk to work. Although the terrace is amazing, the location is not very good for walking around. The price for dinner is a bit expensive, but at the end you have dinner there because it’s not easy to go to some other place at night from the hotel (I talk as a solo traveler). But in general for Jaipur’s old city, the hotel is quite good.
• LYNN (9/5): - Traditional, home cooked food was excellent
• troy (10/5): I would recommend to anyone traveling to Jaipur. How to stay again. - Heritage compound held for generations in the same family. In the old city but quiet. Great rooftop for kite watching. Great breakfast and hospitality.
• Catherine (9/5): Brilliant place to stay to experience a Haveli and local old city. - Heritage property lovingly restored and maintained with lovely decorative touches. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The owners were present and engaged with the guests - it felt like we were being welcomed into their home. Had an excellent dinner - home cooked tasty food. Nothing.
• Dettorre (9/5): Amazing stay in Jaipur - Great host, and overall a very enjoyable stay. Gayatri looked after us very well. It's a beautifully renovated havali in the old town but away from all the business with a beautiful rooftop. Nothing
• Annette (9/5): Wonderful stay here. - The property is in a fantastic location for exploring Jaipur.It is a beautiful property which is run by a lovely family & their staff, they will do anything to make your stay perfect Nothing
• Philip (10/5): Awesome! - Fantastic location in the old city with a big terrace for views while enjoying a quiet drink. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend if you want to stay somewhere clean and comfortable in Jaipur with all the amenities, but away from modern hotels that are missing the charm & atmosphere
• joanna (10/5): Thisis a gem of a hotel. I will always stay here and have already stay herand have already recommended it to many other - The hotel is in a great location and when you walk through the gate you feel like your back him in tranquility . The owner was so helpful friendly and Nothing. Was too much trouble for her she made us do welcome it almost felt like staying in someone house.!
• Fiona (10/5): Perfect friendly family owned, stylish haveli in a great location. Highly recommend - Khatu Haveli was one of my favourite places to stay in India. It's been tastefully renovated, in a great location with an amazing rooftop with views to the fort. Breakfast was delicious and all the facilities immaculately clean. But most importantly the owners were incredibly helpful and kind. I'm already looking forward to returning!
• Johanna (9/5): The perfect place in Jaipur - I really enjoyed my stay. The staff are so friendly, attentive and kind. The Haveli is ideally situated for The Pink city, lovely and quiet after a long day. The breakfast was delicious too. I am so pleased I stayed here as I feel I got to see the real India. Nothing
• Anouska (10/5): -
• Penny (10/5): We wished we could have stayed longer, a beautiful building that provides calm in the bustle of Jaipur. Everyone providi -
• Som (7/5): -
• Anne (10/5): Afternoons on the roof watching the roofs around us come alive and the sky fill with kites. The set dinners were tasty a - The building itself
• james (10/5): - A warm welcome & check in despite arriving on a late evening flight. Very helpful advice & pesonaised attention from owners. Excellent food, relaxed ambience, well run hotel. We will return. Best to take a tuktuk with Iqbal from the haveli rather than walk or bus - Jaipur is a sprawling, busy & often dirty city, & it takes longer than you expect to get around.
• Ramu (10/5): Great heritage property providing a homely experience - Going to Khatu Haveli feels like being invited into the host’s family. You will experience great hospitality and authentic food. The property has a great terrace from where we watched the locals in the neighborhood enjoy their seasonal kite flying sport, with a great view of Nahargarh fort in the backdrop. The hosts took great pride in serving authentically prepared Rajasthani food for dinner. This was only place in Rajasthan where we could get authentic Laal Maas, which the host went out of the way to prepare specifically on our request. Being a heritage property located within the walled city has its charm but the traffic in the peak tourist season makes it a little hard to get to.
• willemiek (9/5): Gastvrije huiselijke rustige plek - Prachtige rustige locatie, midden in de drukte. Gastvrij, mooi verhaal over haveli. Huiselijke sfeer. De harde bedden.
• Matilde Gazzaniga (10/5): Residenza familiare di pulizia impeccabile, accogliente e con una vista spettacolare - Residenza familiare, di una pulizia impeccabile (impossibile trovare alcun errore o trascuranza), il proprietario accogliente e distinto. Ci siamo sentiti a casa, camere spaziose, dettagli curati, funzionali. La terrazza ha una vista meravigliosa e il personale è gentilissimo Servizio della colazione un po' lento, ma bisogna dire che preparano TUTTO in casa e di ottima qualità. Forse un consiglio potrebbe essere quello di aggiungere i phon nelle camere
• Carole (9/5): Beautiful stay in a historic building, lovely hosts - We so enjoyed our stay We felt very welcomed and well looked after The food was delicious with a wide range of choices There was advice given about sightseeing as well as support with local transport The mattress was a bit too hard and unsupportive even though we like a firm mattress An upgrade would be a good idea
• Brigitte (10/5): Jederzeit wieder - Eine Ruheoase im wuseligen Jaipur , in der pinkcity . Tolles 160 Jahre altes Haus mit schönem Innenhof und Dachterasse … alles sauber und ein Inhaber der sich wirklich kümmert … hatte immer wieder gute Tipps …
• Κostas (10/5): -
• Anna-Karin (10/5): Ett välkomnande rent och snyggt boende i en vacker gammal byggnad - En varmt välkomnande familj som fick oss att känna oss som hemma. Mycket god frukost och middag. De arrangerade allt vi behövde. Rent, bra standard. En vacker och lugn haveli renoverad med hög standard mitt i gamla stadens små gator . Rekommenderar varmt Allt var bra.
• Sarah (9/5): Khatu Haveli stay - Wonderful, historic, family run homestay in old Jaipur. Great bedrooms, great bathroom and hot showers. Dinning on the rooftop terrace overlooking the city and forts was a definite highlight of our trip to India. Location is a little away from the main sights but an easy walk or short tuktuk ride.
• Jaimini (10/5): - The property is beautiful and located in a very convenient location which made it easy to walk to many of the local attractions. The rooms are clean and the staff were incredibly helpful, especially Gayatri who gave us amazing recommendations and even assisted us in arranging a taxi to the train station when our original driver cancelled. I would highly recommend staying here.
• Miha (10/5): -
• Charlie (10/5): Perfect. - The rooms were clean, spacious, and full of character, its location in the heart of the city made it easy to get around, yet it stayed quiet and comfortable inside. The building’s historic charm comes through naturally and adds to the overall atmosphere. Gayatri and Tushar were warm, approachable, and helpful throughout the stay, which made the Jaipur feel relaxed and enjoyable. It’s a great place for anyone looking for comfort and character in a central spot. The only thing that could've been better are the photos online, they don't do the place justice!
• mathieu (10/5): Une oasis de calme dans la trépidante Jaipur! - Ce magnifique Haveli est absolument magnifique, autant par sa beauté patrimoniale que par la gentillesse des propriétaires et du personnel qui sont aux petits soins. Idéalement situé à deux pas des principaux sites à visiter ou des bazars pittoresques. Un rooftop splendide, une cuisine délicieuse et fraîchement préparée, une propreté irréprochable... tous les ingrédients sont réunis pour un séjour inoubliable. Tout était parfait
• Cristiano (9/5): -
• Ferdinand Jimenez (10/5): Beautiful property, great location, warm hospitality, delicious homemade food. Memorable experience! - A Truly Memorable Stay at a Charming Family-Owned Haveli. Our stay was exceptional—from the charm of the property and its convenient location to the warm hospitality and incredible homemade food. Every moment felt personal and heartfelt, creating memories we’ll truly cherish. A wonderful experience all around. We have no dislikes about this Haveli.
• Catalina (9/5): The haveli was one of my favorite places to stay in India - The places is really beautiful. The staff amazing and very welcoming.
• Giulia (10/5): Tutto bene - Andava bene Niente
• Rocio (10/5): - It is a beautiful place, very comfortable rooms. The staff is very nice and attentive, you feel like home. Even though is very centric, it is quiet inside.
• Sacha (10/5): -
• Paul Unsworth (10/5): - Authentic, comfortable, clean and pleasant. If you're looking for a relaxing hotel deep in the heart of Jaipur, then Khatu Haveli is your place. All staff are attentive at all times, nothing is to much. The ambience provides a relaxing atmosphere, there is a calmness and tranquility that provides comfort following a return from jaipurs busy, vibrant and often beautifuly chaotic city. Thank you to everyone at Khatu Haveli for making our vust to Jaipur the more special 🙏🏼💖🪬 There's nothing not to like!
• Urs (10/5): - This is a very beautiful old haveli where guests are welcomed by the very friendly hosts in a personal manner. The manager is very helpful and caring. The haveli provides a quiet retreat from the busy streets of Jaipur in an original old part of the city. Nothing, this stay was really nice and we will remember it very well.
• Manon (10/5): - J'y ai séjourné avec ma petite soeur et nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour. La chambre était spacieuse, très confortable et propre. Plutôt calme pour une ville comme Jaipur ! Le personnel est extrêmement discret et attentionné. Manish nous a aussi beaucoup aidé dans nos démarches donc merci à lui. Le petit déjeuner est inclus est délicieux. Le dîner est un délicieux buffet à prendre en supplément (650 INR pour la formule veg ; 750 pour la formule non veg avec 5% de taxes). La terrasse est aussi très agréable et l'emplacement idéal pour visiter. L'ambiance du lieu est plutôt familiale et chaleureuse. Je recommande. Rien :)
• Vajpeyi (10/5): -
• Letty (10/5): A hidden little gem of a place to stay - We loved every aspect of our stay. The Haveli is family owned and they were all so warm and welcoming. The evening meals which you can book were outstanding. Khatu Haveli is an absolute haven especially as we were two female travellers. Nothing - everything was wonderful
• Alessandra (9/5): Haveli in the heart of Jaipur - Well maintained and clean haveli in Jaipur with a really nice terrance with a view of the Amer Fort. They can arrange tour of the city with both Taxi and Tuk Tuk.
• Frederick (10/5): - The Khatu Haveli is the first three star hotel we have ever been in with five star service; nothing was too much trouble. If we ever come back to Jaipur, we wIll definitely use this friendly hotel again.
• Manvi (10/5): -
• Olivier (10/5): - Good Room Great staff and also a well placed view on the mountain and the fort
• Jerome (10/5): Lovely place to stay - this is not really a hotel - it’s more a home stay and the owners want it to be like that. It’s l - Really central - and wonderfully clean It was all good
• Griffith (10/5): -
• jan (10/5): Clean. Comfortable, good location, lovely people - Lovely roof terrace, amazing view. Really lovely room.
• Francisc (8/5): - We loved the hotel, it was very nice inside. Very clean. With a very cozy terrace with tables and chairs just for us.The host was very good trying always to be helpful and available for us, very accommodating. They did welcome us with a refresher drink well needed. The room was clean and comfortable, but there was a humidity smell. The tv and fridge were not working but as soon as we requested they fixed it right away. They gave us extra bottled water too. Because we were leaving too early in the morning we did not have the opportunity to enjoy the included breakfast but, they offer to prepare for us a packaged breakfast to go that was waiting for us at 5:30 am. Bravo!!!! So, if you are traveling to Jaipur with no car (very difficult to acces by car) small budget and you enjoy crowded small streets with a lot of traffic, not clean at all etc., this is the place to go.
• Kajoree (10/5): HIDDEN GEM - We stayed at the Khatu Haveli, Jaipur for a few days. It was such an amazing option; not only were the rooms exactly as advertised, we also got upgraded to a terrace room. This haveli has a good slice of that quientessential rajastani haveli experience. The food (dinner and breakfast) was quite delicious (exactly like a joke cooked meal). The atmosphere was very cozy and relaxing too. We also got all the basic amenities (wifi, good room service etc) The staff was very prompt and accommodated  our every need no matter the hour of the day and even arranged for cabs/autos whenever we wanted to avail it.  Manishji especially went above and beyond to make sure our stay at the Khatu Haveli was an enjoyable and safe one.  The owners of the haveli were also very kind and welcoming and gave us good recommendations. Overall, for the price point this property elevated our Jaipur experience. The road to the haveli is through the market hence there's quite a bit of traffic. But otherwise, the haveli met all our expectations.
• David G (10/5): Great stay - Nice little haveli in the old city. Very clean and in a good location. Great view from the rooftop. Staff were extremely attentive and helpful. Manager is the best at organising anything you need and nothing was too much trouble.
• Avneet (10/5): - The staff were all very helpful and kind. They made our time in Jaipur fantastic. Highly recommended
• RICHARD (10/5): This is truly the place to stay in Jaipur! - I stayed for five nights on my way to the Riff Festival in Jodphur and based on the advice of my friend, stage and film actress Miriam Margolyes, who had spent 15 days at Khatu Haveli filming the BBC series The Real Marigold Hotel. Having travelled a lot of India I consider it one of the best places that I have ever stayed in the country. The rooms are spotlessly clean, food is freshly made to dietary need and is delicious, hotel staff will go above and beyond where nothing’s a problem. There’s a lovely history to enjoy about the hotel and its family who run it. Mannish the hotel manager is a credit to the establishment. He consistently ensures his guests are happy and has a range of contacts around the city to organises trips, currency exchange etc and pride in making sure his guests are not scammed. If you are lucky enough to be invited to a morning chai with him at his favourite tea stand then you will discover he’s one of the safest drivers in Jaipur! The water at the hotel is filtered, kitchen and chef rigorous in their hygiene. The hotel met me at the airport on time from a late flight and ready with sandwiches and drinks on arrival. There’s good air conditioning, television, Wi-Fi and lovely large roof terrace. Service is available when it is needed. Located in the heart of this vibrant city, if they are not sold out and you are lucky enough to get a room then you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!

• Verified traveler (10/5): - 古い施設ながら丁寧に調えられていて、オーナー家族やスタッフが常に気遣ってくださり、とても良い滞在となりました。
• Ujjawal Mayank (10/5): Would be booking again and recommend everyone - Amazing staff and ambience. Really wish I found this property earlier for my previous visits to the city There is nothing to dislike here
• Jean-marie (5/5): Passable -
• Nicholas (8/5): Great location and staff - Very good omelette
• Frederick (10/5): Wonderful family run hotel, in an excellent location. Great staff and good value - highly recommend! -
• Colette (10/5): Heavenly Khatu Haveli - I felt like I was in our own little palace such a beautiful place and staff were amazing. The lady of the house sat in on breakfast and dinner and chatted with everyone so welcoming and informative of where to visit I wished we could have stayed longer if you want to experience the real India then this is the place to stay
• Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Arun (10/5): It’s very beautiful . Will love to come and stay here again. - Very nice place to stay. The place has the old world charm. It’s a beautiful Haveli. Takes us back in time . I will come again. Very well maintained. Very comfortable.
• Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrei (10/5): Nice haveli experience - We wanted to experience staying at a real Rajasthani haveli and Khatu Haveli worked pretty well for us. It is a old haveli built in 1860s, has multiple courtyards, very quiet despite the usual street noise outside the compound. The room comfort was good: very clean, with AC, free water bottle per day, kettle, shower with good hot water. The TV in the room has some English channels: 1 movie channel, 2 nature doc channels, and apparently some news channels (which we didn't watch). The food options are good: breakfasts were included and had several continental choices (eggs of any kind, toasted bread, butter/jam, juice) and a few Indian dishes; the menu for the latter changes daily. Buffet dinners are available at 8pm for an extra fee, and include: rice, lentils plus 3 Indian dishes (which also change daily). You would have to sign up for a buffet dinner ~3 hours in advance to give the staff the time to cook. Some dishes were excellent, others a tiny bit greasy but still quite tasty. There are about 4-5 staff working in the haveli, all very professional. The owner lady lives there and visits the dining area during breakfasts and dinners so you might have some interesting conversations. Apparently this haveli has been in the family for 6 generations. The neighborhood is OK. It's an easy 5-7 min walk to the Pink City street with its colorful bazaar shops; and then about 30 min walk to places like Hawa Mahal (you will need to brave crazy traffic at street crossings a few times).
• Louise (10/5): Exceptional - I was made very welcome. I felt safe and taken care of. The location was in the old city. Roof terrace has a magnificent view. My room was cleaned daily and was spotless. The manager drove me to the train station with a staff member who made sure I was in the correct seat and stowed my luggage. More than I could have asked. Thank you
• Claire (10/5): A treasure so close and yet tucked away. - The location is stellar. It is in a very real (not touristy) neighborhood and all the neighbors welcome the Haveli guests warmly. We were there over Holi and communication was sometimes spotty with the manager but I can’t blame him. He was having a life for a couple of days.
• Parry (10/5): A peaceful escape - The building is in a nice, quiet courtyard not far from the bustle of the busy Jaipur streets. The meals were excellent and they took care to cater for my dietary requirements. The staff are attentive. I would have liked to have stayed for longer but I had to go to another city for business.
• Catharine (6/5): Not a bad place to stay in Jaipur, but could definitely do with a re-vamp. - Good breakfast, delicious masala omlettes and freshly cooked bread. We had supper several nights, which was convenient and fairly good if not especially exciting, with good service. The haveli is attractive and amazingly peaceful, considering its location. At first the area seemed a bit intimidating but we soon got used to it and really enjoyed wandering around the local streets and bazaars. Met a lot of nice people staying here. Our room was on the ground floor and smelled overpoweringly of damp, which we did not enjoy. Unfortunately we found the manager to be very pushy and rather pleased with himself (although this was not the case with the other staff, who were very nice and keen to please). The beds were fairly hard and uncomfortable.
• Annabel (10/5): A beautiful home away from home in the middle of dazzling Jaipur - The home-turned-hotel was beautiful inside and out. The rooms were spacious with modern amenities and the view from the roof terraces was unsurpassable. All the staff were courteous and lovely and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant and filled with exploration of the wonderful city of Jaipur. Nothing, it was a wonderful stay all around.
• Somya (4/5): Not my cup of tea - Clean rooms, Service/Maintenance of rooms is good. Picking this place was a mistake. This is situated in the Old Jaipur City with not much to do around. It was described as a calm oasis in the middle of chaos. Which it is. Nothing wrong with the rooms and service. But you are stranded in the Old city with nothing to do. The place is good for foreigners who find the chaos novel . I booked a day tour through GYG and the car turned out to be one to the vehicles belonging to the hotel. Later in my visit, the manager, clearly not happy with my not using their services kept trying to ask me which driver had told me about the service. All this time, he was also texting through a business number which had set up the account on GYG. On the next remaining day, I wanted to go to some remaining places and now he quoted 3 times the price of the previous trip. I declined and took the metro. He also tried to dissuade me from going to the railway station to buy my own ticket, the puffed up the price telling me GST was extra. It’s not. In India, HST is included in the total price of the ticket. And, Of course, he was going to charge me a convenience fee. As for the couple being friendly, I think they are but selectively – with foreigners. The lady was nice in person but I overheard her talking with staff about dinner and how people were taking from both Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian platters during dinner. Well Lady – Label the food and let people know that they are supposed to stick to one. And do not lay out pretending to be gracious. And do not talk loudly about it later. They have a homemade dinner service (as they say) and they are charging South Delhi hotel prices for it.
• Armstrong (9/5): A great starting point to explore Jaipur. A quiet retreat after a hectic day. - A great location inside the walls of the old city. Great views of Nahargarh Fort from their rooftop area. Very attentive staff and a great breakfast to fuel the days of exploration. Fantastic host and family, thank you for everything. Ten stars! A few steps to reach accommodation, only an issue if you are unused to this in India.
• Peter (5/5): Booked three nights, stayed one. - It was clean. Potentially interesting building Dismal. Did not live up to description. Staff doing their best but suggest owner takes a lower profile and allows a happier atmosphere. Map location leads you down a crowded lane rather than to the main entrance.
• Lynda (8/5): Little oasis in Jaipur - Khatu Haveli is a great location in Jaipur. The rooms were very clean and the housekeeping staff were wonderful, making us feel very welcome. The roof terrace was great to chill, read a book and have a beer in the late afternoon. We enjoyed our time in the Pink City. There was nothing we didn’t like. Small improvements on the dinner choice, room amenities (e.g hairdryer, better tea) would have made it excellent.
• Rachana (10/5): A hidden gem in the city -
• Jewitt (10/5): The cleanest and most beautiful place we have stayed in 6 trips to India - Every thing 💕 Leaving 😭
• Lydia (8/5): The only one attraction I wouldn’t recommend is the Albert Hall Museum. Small & very little captions explaining what - Good Haveli & felt tranquil from the hustle & bustle of the town. Nice roof top terrace. We had a room on the top so were able to open the door & see the view. The hotel was quiet so this was possible otherwise not. Food cooked at the hotel was excellent so would advise to stay for the evening meal.
• Angie (10/5): Recommend for the nostalgic and friendly vibe. Clean, good location and nice staff. - The hotel is classy. The staff are friendly and helpful. The bathroom is the cleanest during my whole India trip. The vibe is good here, feeling like home, quiet and peaceful. I easily made friends here because everybody had dinner and breakfast together(if you want). Oh, not even talking about the amazing rooftop yet, that was the reason I booked this hotel but the hotel ended up delivering much more than these! The location is close to City Palace and the markets. No
• Donovan (10/5): Historic Haveli in the Old City - Enjoy sunset on the rooftop and the amazing hospitality from the staff. Wonderful place! Nothing
• Charles (9/5): An elegant and homely family-run haveli providing an oasis of calm in Jaipur. - We had a lovely ground floor room (with large bathroom) looking out onto the central courtyard. All the staff were very attentive and helpful. Manish the hotel manager looked after everything we needed and we'd certainly recommend using their in-house taxi/chauffeur services over anything you'd find on the street (for convenience and price). After a a whole day exploring Jaipur and further afield, returning to the hotel to enjoy sundowners on the roof terrace with all the kites flyers on their rooftops and the sky full of kites was quite magical. The hotel food (breakfast and dinner) is perfect Jaipur home-cooking and thoroughly recommended. We knew nothing about the Khatu Haveli and 'The Real Marigold Hotel' connection (not having seen the TV programme) so that was a nice surprise. Some evenings, the hotel hosted organised groups from other hotels for sundowner G&Ts on the roof terrace (for a little real Marigold experience) and we'd mix and chat. Altogether perfect! There was nothing we didn't like. We chose the hotel completely by chance, just on the basis of a few reviews, the location and photos. Unlike the BBC who did far more research than we did before choosing the Khatu Haveli to accommodate a group of well paid celebrities with their standard of expectations. You will not be disappointed.
• Pie (8/5): Very good -
• Nancy E (10/5): Comfortable in Jaipur - An oasis in center of crowded, noisy Jaipur. Comfortable room, good food. This is a small hotel and Staff made us feel we were a “community” rather than strangers
• Kumar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sara (8/5): This well restored Haveli is an oasis of calm in the old city. - Interesting history. Opportunity to meet like minded travellers. Quiet oasis in a chaotic city! Very good, tasty suppers and breakfast. Charming owner who went out of her way to accommodate her guests’ needs. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, but we sometimes felt uncomfortably pressured by one or two to give ‘quiet’ tips.
• Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional - We loved the friendliness of everyone and the recent history of the place. We loved everything.
• Elena (10/5): Exceptional - Cosy place with a gem rooftop. The owner and staff were really nice. Everything was perfect, service, food, clean, confortable beds, quiet.. NA
• James (8/5): Great stay at Khatu Haveli - Friendly staff Good service Beautiful heritage property Location makes property susceptible to occasional street noise
