Barwara Kothi

Amazing homestay with rich history!

Comfortable stay at the Kothi. If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay with homely environment, it’s a nice place. We liked the option of having dinner thali at night. If you are a foreigner and want to experience authentic Indian food as it’s cooked at home - this is the place to have it. No restaurant or hotel will ever serve you this type of food. I found , few rooms were a bit dated - but over all great place to stay. If you like dogs there is a small dog which is very cute. Garden area is very well maintained.

Good and smiling reception. Excellent host. Delicious food. Conveniently located. Definitely will come back

Very centrally located home stay. Very clean and tidy. However the better rooms very occupied which were on the 1st floor, hence felt the price a bit high for the room we got.

A most pleasant stay. The hotel made our stay in Jaipur ever the more enjoyable. They hooked us up with the best tour guide ever and were always there to help us when needed. The room was sumptuous, as was the food. It was a 10 all round! Would definitely go back!

This is a truly great boutique property. We were welcomed by the Owner and had a most enjoyable and special stay. We needed to leave very early two mornings and staff woke to provide us with packed breakfasts. It is filled with historic photos and artifacts and it was a really high value stay. Highly recommended

Our stay was extremely comfortable and homely. The service was outstanding - everything ran according to clockwork. The breakfast was delicious, and I could eat the home-made bread forever! The location of Barwara Kothi was very central. Deepali, the owner was obliging and helpful, and would come along and chat to us whenever we were around. Just a few downsides to the room that we were in (101) - there were very few plug points for charging. Also, while the supply of toilet paper was endless, perhaps a softer toilet paper could be provided. These are minor points. Overall, we had a great time, and are looking forward to staying there again.

Had a very comfortable stay in this fabulous property. Lovely old villa surrounded by a very tranquil garden. Lovely big window. Private and quiet.

It was perfect and we felt really safe. The room was beautiful and clean and the breakfast was delicious. Next to the Taj a great place for dinner. Out of the way of the noise. Would stay here again.

Our room was large and beautifully decorated with easily enough space for an extra mattress. The staff were exceptional and went out of their way to help. Deepali was charming. It was a lovely place to be in Jaipur .

Well maintained and amazingly clean. Fantastic home cooked very tasty fresh food. Will recommend or stay again. Beautiful pictures of royal family.

Charming guesthouse, well kept, attentive staff. Only knock is that temperature control in the room was tricky.

Barwara Kothi is a clean, beautiful, very comfortable place to stay in Jaipur. I would highly recommend it. Our room had a large balcony that overlooked a grassy garden, great place to relax with a glass of wine in the evening. There are also some good restaurants within walking distance. My only caution would be to pay online. At the conclusion of my stay the hotel's credit card machine wasn't working and we had to search for an ATM machine in order to pay in cash. While the staff was somewhat helpful in trying to do this, it was a huge inconvenience as it was nighttime, we were tired and it wasn't our fault that their machine didn't work. They could have comped us the cost of our breakfast, at least. That being said, this is a great place to stay, highly recommend.

Barwara Kothi is the home of the Maharani of Jaipur, conveniently situated near the railway station and the city centre. The whole house is comfortable and beautifully furnished with antiques,reflecting the owner's status in Jaipur. Throughout the house the walls are hung with many photographs of the Maharani and her family, evoking a bygone era. The huge rooms, comfortably furnished, have lovely bathrooms, ceiling fans plus air conditioning. Our room had a balcony with table and chairs overlooking the adjoining house and gardens occupied by the owner. Public rooms included a lovely verandah overlooking the front gardens where we sat on a couple of afternoons having toasted sandwiches and tea following a day of sightseeing. Breakfast and dinner (dinner on request) is served in the lavishly decorated dining room by very attentive staff. The breakfast buffet included cereals, yogurt, fruit, toast, preserves plus omelette, lovely fresh coffee, plus poha which is a traditional Indian breakfast comprising flaked rice, boiled in milk, which can be served either savoury with mixed spices and nuts or sweet, and is really delicious. Dinner is by request and we twice enjoyed a freshly cooked vegetarian thali. Our hostess was able to recommend a great taxi service located just over the road - Mr Babuu was an excellent driver and guide and we really enjoyed a brilliant trip to the monkey temple at Galta. The hotel is also close to several excellent restaurants.

Wonderful experience of staying in an heritage ambience , excellent host who personally takes care of your well being..very homely atmosphere and quiet place.. ..Truly a home away from home!

Helpful staff, great breakfast and comfortable environment.

we stayed from 04/01/2017 to 08/01/2017 in room no 111.first, we were inspired by the cleanliness of the room. each day the room was well cleaned. Secondly, the hospitality of both the host and the staff were superb. Thirdly, the breakfast and the food served was delicious and pure homemade. even the location and the balcony with spacious room was amazing. we would love to visit again. thank you so much to all the members of Bawara Kothi.

Barwara Kothi was an unusual choice for me in the first place since it's a guest house and not a conventional hotel But I was pleasantly surprised when arrived there since the location is literally the center of Jaipur. Its a very well maintained ancient family home to the cousin of the Maharaja of Jaipur. The cleanliness is par excellence though the place needs a significant upgrade in technology. We had all the required converters to plug into the wall sockets but if an international traveller without them will face a tough time charging their devices. The bed is from the 1900s for sure and was sturdy as a rock but the mattress was not the most comfortable. The television was a CR tube from the 90s and needed sometime figuring out how to change the channel. Overall it was a nice experience in Jaipur with some minor hiccups

We chose Barwara Kothi online for our Jaipur trip based on the pictures of traditional style heritage home and the reviews And we were not disappointed at all. It is a lovely home belonging to the family of Maharaja Man Singh and run very professionally by Dipali. The decor was very warm and comfortable. Rooms were spacious and very clean and convenient. We were there in the December winter and found the room heaters to be adequate to stay warm. The breakfast was wonderful with both western and Indian choices. Dinner too was available on request and simple yet delicious. Our host Dipali was very helpful in getting us settled in, planning our sightseeing and with taxi arrangements. She shared the history of the home and has albums, pictures of the royal family to browse. We loved the charm and simplicity of the home stay over the big hotels and would choose it again if we return.

An excellent way to spend 4 nights in Jaipur in the old civil service district and away from the mainstream and anaesthetic hotel experience.
