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!

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。

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.

Felt more like a home stay than the informality of a hotel. Very happy and would very much recommend!!

This Haveli is right in the Centre of the Pink City. We walked from the hotel to the City Palace, Hawa Mahal, etc. Easy. Dirty streets but we felt very safe. No traffic noise in hotel. Our room was large, bathroom small. Both clean. The hotel has a wonderful roof terrace which was just outside our room and we really enjoyed sitting out there in the evenings. It has a wonderful view of Nahargarch Fort which is lit up at night. Lovely to watch the locals kite running from all the roof patios. Amazing. Food is home cooked and good. No choice but that was fine by me. There was a selection of about 4 or 5 dishes buffet style. A soup to start and icecream. They prepared a packed breakfast for us as we had an early flight. VERY traditional in every way - building, furnishings, etc Would recommend you book day tour for sights outside City direct with Sameer at Namaste Jaipur Tours who charges less than the hotel. Sameer our driver is excellent!

Great service and very clean. In the heart of jaipur. The views are amazing from the terrace. 360 degrees (being the highest terrace around the neighborhood so enjoy the sunset , sunrise and day to day activity from the roof top .

WOW....this is a wonderful hotel. There was not one thing wrong and boy I've stayed in hundreds over the years and not said that!!! The breakfast had many varieties and so much you woddle out😆. We we're there for 6 days and ate dinner every night as it was so delicious 😋. The staff are really nice and will help you with anything you need. If you want alcohol they will get some 🙂. So sitting on their wonderful top terrace overlooking the mountains one-side and the streets on the other with a drink is very relaxing after seeing the sights. It really is the best hotel for value for money you will ever find.

Very nice place. Quiet and safe, close to the pink city. Affordable, good breakfast each morning, and staff moved us when the wifi didnt work in the first room. Roof top is very nice in February.

Exquisitely renovated old haveli in the middle of the old city. Helpful staff and clean property. We enjoyed our stay

beautiful old family estate away from but close to main tourist area. Great location for walking around and exploring the local neighbourhoods.

A lovely home and so welcoming especially the 0wner and staff who catered and waited. Our 5 day stay was made the more interesting by hiring Darshan as our guide and driver. A mine of informion,good advice and fun to be with. Recommend this Haveli without reservation if you want a genuine experience in the 'real heart' of an Indian city and are prepared to forgo some of the Western niceties. Loved it Bob and Sue

Absolutely awful experience. Had a booking for 3 nights confirmed through hotels.com. Arrived at the Haveli to be told they had no confirmation of booking from hotels.com and no space left at the Haveli for the first night. We then complained and miraculously they found a spare room available It wasn’t even cleaned when we entered. We decided to check out the very next day. The owners, the brigadier and his wife never once offered an apology or offered to help us find alternative accommodation. They kept on insisting they received nothing from Hotels.com even though we had confirmation. The owners then showed us their booking system which was a large notepad and rooms and clients written in pencil! Appalling behaviour and customer service.

We had a fantastic experience with Khatu Haveli! Khatu Haveli provided an extremely clean & quiet respite from the noise and hectic bustle of Old City Jaipur. Aside from seeing the other guests at breakfast, it felt like we were the only guests! Staff took great care of us. Prakash especially made our stay very special. The daily breakfast of fruit, toast, eggs-to-order, juice, coffee, ect. was delicious. We never stayed for dinner, but heard great things about it. Roomkeeping came daily with fresh linens. For an authentic Jaipur experience, I trust you'll be very grateful for the cleanliness and quiet atmosphere of this Haveli.

Lovely place to stay, a quiet oasis in amongst the hustle and bustle of Jaipur. The Haveli was very interesting and hosts were friendly and accomodating. I would definitely recommend eating here as the food is fantastic. Wish we had stayed a little longer.

Khatu Haveli was about as perfect as it could have been as a hotel for us in Jaipur. The staff were so helpful and kind, the room was clean, whilst the breakfast and dinner options were excellent. It is located in a busy part of town, but as soon as you walk through the door it's like being in a calm oasis. Would easily and readily stay here again, and will recommend it to anyone coming to Jaipur.

I had a wonderful stay at Khatu Haveli. Once you get off the busy busy street, you enter a real Oasis. It was exactly what I needed, a quiet, peaceful place where you can relax from all the experiences. I had breakfast and dinner there 3x and the food was always outstanding, and the rooftop terrace is mindblowing. If ever again in Jaipur, I would definitely come back to Khatu Haveli.
