Govind Hotel

My partner and I stayed at Govind hotel over Christmas and it was one of the highlights of our trip. I booked the hotel after reading great reviews about the owner Jaggi and his son and they did not disappoint. Jaggi is extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming and was even able to hold our room and accommodate for us after we had to cancel a day last minute due to delays in plans. The hotel itself is located right near the train station so perfect for those travelling by train. It is also located on a strip of shops and only a 15 minute walk or short tuk tuk ride to the main city centre, so it is away from the hustle and bustle of the main city. The rooms are colourful and have a unique character to them, especially the courtyard/rooftop restaurant which has an amazing view of the fort. The rooms were clean with towels/toilet paper provided and there is wifi hot water in the morning and night. The only downside is that it can get noisy particularly at night due to the train or other guests in the hallway so if you are a light sleeper wear earplugs otherwise we had no issues. I also want to make special mention to Jaggis son who cooks at the rooftop restaurant upstairs- we didn’t eat anywhere else our whole time in jodhpur! The food is all made fresh and is absolutely beautiful. Some of our favourites were the pineapple lassi, paneer tikka pizza and the continental breakfast. Great hotel with friendly staff for an affordable price!

Incredibly hospitable hotel. Jaggi runs the hotel and his son cooks (perfect food!). The super deluxe suite is spacious and well kept. While the bathroom has a typical non-contained shower, the water is hot from 7-10am and 7-9pm as advised on arrival (it is helpful to know such things!). Wifi is perfect - no connection issues. View of the mighty fort from the hotel terrace is a bonus. I prefer to take a rickshaw to the fort and be walking distance to the railway station. Highly recommended for reasonable accommodation - probably the best in its price range considering the friendly hospitality, nice rooms, great food and great terrace for breakfast and dinner.

This place is lovely! The staff are very friendly and helpful and the rooftop cafe is a real gem. The location is great and all of this comes at a very affordable price. I wish the wifi were better and the toilet/washing facilities were improved - those are my only complaints.
