Khatu Haveli

This hotel is in a family home that goes back generations. It’s conveniently located within the old city and yet has a peaceful atmosphere thanks partly to the lovely gardens. The service was excellent and the breakfast was extensive and delicious. We also ate on the roof terrace one evening enjoying the buffet which was also delicious. The rooms are spacious with both ceiling fans and aircon for comfort. The hotel arranged a taxi to accompany us for a day’s sightseeing which was a great way to enjoy the city and inexpensive. One final thing to mention- this hotel was featured in the “Real Marigold Hotel” programme on the BBC

WOW....this hotel is fantastic 👌. The breakfast is sooooo tasty and so many different dishes you will woddle out. We had dinner every night for the 6 days we stayed here and again it will not disappoint. You get to try so many different curry dishes 😋. The staff are very attentive and nice, and will help you with anything you need. The bedrooms are really big and spacious with ceiling fans in the bedroom and bathroom, plus air-conditioning. You also have a full size fridge and kettle with coffee and tea. I can honestly say this is the best hotel we've ever been in for it's budget. They could easily charge more!! Plus they have a beautiful roof top terrace overlooking the town and mountains, great to sit up there with a drink.

Super awesome experience! 😍 Loved everything, the location, food, cozy room, extremely clean washrooms, and very good and humble staff. Amazing and sweet owner. Beautiful view from the terrace. A complete package of heritage stay and feel. Must try! it's a heritage homestay

The perfect place to stay for a while if you come in Jaipur, quiet environment even outside could be noisy, rooms are spacious and comfortable, and meals so delicious. When weather is better, you can enjoy your meal on the terrace. Ideally located at 29mn walking to the famous Hawa Mahal, and bazar. The family is always attentive and helpful.

First impressions very poor. Nobody available to let us in or meet us, once we found someone he told us to fill in paper work and he would give our passports back in half an hour, all he had to do was photocopy them so I said we would wait. Felt very unwelcome, very poor customer services, almost rude. The building is lovely and well maintained, with a roof top terrace to enjoy, a rest after a day exploring. We took our own drinks as nothing was on offer, it would be nice to be able to order drinks. Unsure if our hot water was working properly as shower started warm but soon ran cold- not good as it is a cold time of year. Some staff we met were friendly, helpful and keen to talk, which we appreciated including Prakash and Virendar. One reason we had chosen the property was after its representation on the BBC programme so it was nice to hear about their experience. Disappointingly when we saw the owner (as seen on the tv show) she didn’t seem to acknowledge us at all, or the poor service we were receiving, which seemed a shame. Trying to arrange a tuk tuk was also awkward and felt like we were a hassle. We had laundry done here- tried to give it on arrival, told to wait until the next morning so we did, but items received damp. This property has so much potential, especially having been featured on the BBC, and some helpful, friendly reception staff could really make a huge difference.

We really enjoyed our stay in this haveli. Everything is very good. The breakfastroom is very beautiful (and the breakfast is good). Dinner is really good and I would recommend eating their at least once. They serve beer and gin tonics. Khatu Haveli is in a very authentic neighbourhood: many cows (cow dung!). And all other farm animals are there as well. For dinner/lunch we went to Niro’s, LMB, Dream hostel and Lassiwalla. All were good. But these restaurants are not near the hotel! You’ll have to walk approx half hour or take a tuk tuk (100 rs).
