Khatu Haveli

Beautiful sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the streets in Jaipur. We had lovely rooftop room. Owner gave us much needed sightseeing advice.

Very Nice place to stay Owners were super kind and helpful. This is more of a home than a hotel but they were still very accomadating with our dietery restrictions. The room was super nice and clea. The rooftop was gorgeous with the prettiest view. We got a lovely tour of the place after we checked in. And the owners were just super helpful and created such a warm and inviting atmosphere. I very much recommend staying here!

Beautiful hotel. Wonderful humans who run it. And an incredible history to the building. The staff even helped us learn to fly kites on the roof. Quite literally. It was absolutely great. Jaipur ain't bad either.

Bathroom bad. Shower not working properly

The hotel is loveingly managed by a dedicated Mother and Son. The rooms are well appointed and spotlessly clean. Check-in was quick and seamless. The food is exquisit it was soo good that we elected to have dinner at the Haveli all three nights we were in Jaipur. The roof top is lovely with a great view of the fort. We celebrated Old years eve on the rooftop including fireworks. we were spoilt with kindness as if were visiting family - thank you! If you are in Jaiphur treat yourself and stay at Khatu Haveli!

Amazing place to stay in Jaipur for an authentic experience inside the pink city. The Shekhawat family are great hosts. The rooms are tasteful, comfortable and clean, and the food is homestyle and delicious.

Authenticity of the owners and their Haveli warmed us greatly. The Haveli was clean, the breakfast was homely, and the location was bustling. Recommend them highly for a natural, peaceful place to stay whilst in Jaipur.

Had a great stay in this traditional Haveli. It’s located right in the middle of the bustling old town of Jaipur. Once inside the place is tranquil with pretty rooms and some original features. It’s a family run hotel and the management and staff really look after you. Breakfast was traditional Indian dishes with a choice of eggs. We stayed for dinner one evening and it was home cooked delicious food! Overall would highly recommend!

truly magical historic home with an excellent and friendly staff and gracious hosts

I had a wonderful stay. Nice room, good breakfast, and great customer service. I would stay here again.

Having stayed in many hotels during my trip this haveli was the best. Not a hotel but part of a home. My room was very comfortable with lovely bedding. Clean compact bathroom with plenty of hot water and lovely fluffy towels. Freshly prepared meals served in the dining room, shared with the owners. Gayatri was most helpful. Recommending places to visit, organising flights and taxis. Even helped me by ordering spices I was unable to find on her account. I arrived as a stranger but left as a friend, feeling I had spent time in a comfortable home. I cannot recommend the haveli strongly enough.

Lovely heritage hotel, good facilities, friendly staff, good value for money

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.

The staff were all very helpful and kind. They made our time in Jaipur fantastic. Highly recommended

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!

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).

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

A fantastic historic building set in the middle of a busy market with a roof top terrace to enjoy a sunset drink and views. The matriarch of the house kept a watchful eye over her staff during mealtimes and talked to us about the old family pictures on the walls. The only thing we didn’t like was the pushy receptionist/manager who was always trying to sell us drivers/tours through his own company which we had to pay for by cash.

Khatu Haveli’s location is great, but the cleanliness and facilities are a bit lacking. When I arrived around 9pm, no one was there to answer the door, which made my driver very concerned. Once someone finally came, they seemed more annoyed with my arrival than welcoming. The check-in instructions say to message the property if arriving after 11:30pm, so I thought it would be a smooth check-in process since I came before that time, but it wasn’t.

Lovely place deep in the old town, great service and roof terrace, only issue was how hard the bed mattresses were. Everything else was good, especially the food.
