This is the second time I have enjoyed staying at Jee Ri Haveli. Hi***shu and his family were lovely hosts. The Haveli is outside of the old town but the views of the fort from the rooms and rooftop restaurant are spectacular. You are within easy walking distance of everything including the excellent Sardar Market. The rooms are comfortable but not ***y luxuries but this doesn't matter as the beds are comfortable and hot water in the shower!! The food in the restaurant is excellent as well accompanied by the aforementioned view - see photo . They can arrange cars etc for arrival and departure if needed. Hi***shu took us on a wonderful walk through the old town - the blue city- and took us to visit the Jaswant Thada mausoleum and the superb Mehrangarh Fort. We really enjoyed this as he took us to places we never would have discovered on our own , we saw some wonderful murals and we ate the most delicious local sweets and found out the next day we made the local paper! Highly recommended and I would very happily stay here again.
This was a truly royal experience. We enjoyed this property so much, that we cancelled any planned outings after the first day. The Palace/Hotel is extremely well maintained. Pre arrival with Gaurav Samtani was very pleasant. Arrival was made special by several members of the hotel staff and on a daily basis by Mehardin, at the front door. The food and beverage service was excellent - wide variety of choices, and no special request was impossible. While every staff contact was outstanding, I would like to mention Aaryan at the Trophy Bar, and also Aman, Karan, Saddique, Shashank, Chandan S, Pragya, N. Singh and Goverdhanji during our many meals. Saddique also was very attentive at the Polo Match. Even the young *** at the outdoor pool area and gym was great.
This was a business meeting with our team and partners held on December 10, 2024, which went exceptionally well. Mr. Salim managed all the arrangements with great professionalism, ensuring our guests were fully satisfied with the service. We look forward to hosting more meetings at this hotel in the future.
The hotel had a great ambience and hospitality which perfected our stay. All the hotel staff was helpful and courteous. The proximity to major tourist places like Mehrangarh, Jaswant Thada, Clock Tower and the old city market was a major plus. All in all, had a great time with my family.
I arrived at this beautiful Haveli and could not believe how big and adorned with art and antique this place is. The staff are very kind, friendly and attentive. I was very lucky to meet the owner, his wife and family at dinner and she was so kind to offer me some home made pickles. The food was delicious and the desert was something I have never had the opportunity to try but it was the best sweet and it’s called RajBhog. It is made of milk and it looks like a ball with saffron inside. Come and visit this hospitable haveli, you will not be disappointed.
My stay at Bal Samand Lake Palace, Jodhpur, from the 14th to 15th December, was a truly memorable experience. From the moment I arrived, the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff left a lasting impression with their warm hospitality. A special highlight was the general manager personally taking the time to meet me and arrange a private tour of the century-old royal property, a gesture that truly set this stay apart. The property itself is magnificent, sprawling across a vast expanse of beautifully maintained grounds that are simply stunning. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, offering a perfect retreat after exploring the regal surroundings. Another unique touch was the availability of horse rides at very affordable rates, which added a touch of adventure and fun to the stay. The only aspect that fell short was the breakfast buffet, which could benefit from more variety to match the otherwise high standards of the property. Nonetheless, the dedication and professionalism of the staff ensured that this was only a minor setback in an otherwise splendid stay. Overall, Bal Samand Lake Palace offers a unique blend of history, charm, and warm hospitality. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a serene and royal escape in Jodhpur, and I would highly recommend it to anyone planning a visit.
The property itself is beautiful, and the service standards, especially of housekeeping and F&B were gold, as always. Felt maintenance and cleanliness of the grounds could have been better. Not being able to use a Taj Voucher that was gifted to me was a disappointment - what's the point of people buying and gifting Taj Vouchers, if Taj properties refuse to honour them? Food was good, but things like Eggs Benedict for breakfast, which I've had at every Taj property, was apparently not an option here. Overall, takes away from the Taj Experience.
We enjoyed 2 nights at the guest house and from the moment we arrived the owner, Ranveer and his family, made us feel extremely welcome. The room was prepared at short notice for us which was really appreciated. The rooftop restuarant has stunning views across Jodhpur and we spent many a hour eating and drinking here whilst being tended to by the staff who were all very friendly. The food was delicious at both breakfast time and in the evening. Ranveer was able to help with organising our tuk tuk to/ from the guest house. Thank you so much Ranveer for your kindness you are a wonderful person.
This beautiful small boutique hotel was very homey and comfortable with a king comfy bed, large modern bathroom and two stories that included a sitting / den area and outdoor porch on the upper floor and fantastic views on both floors of the Mehrangarh Fort. At night the grounds are magical with candles lit throughout and beautiful landscape lighting. There are 2 restaurants with friendly and attentive staff and excellent food and views of the fort. We highly recommend this hotel and would gladly go back
SSiddhant04Fantastic place to stay in Jodhpur. It’s my 5th time and Jodhpur and my 5th time at Kings . I just cannot emphasise enough how great this quaint little place is , you need to experience the charm of this wonderful boutique hotel that overlooks the majestic Mehrangarh Fort . The rooms are wonderful and the interiors are done up beautifully with local decor that makes you spend time in the room . The hotel has a fabulous terrace café that overlooks the fort , the food is excellent and they also serve a great wood fired pizza .you can sit here for hours after dinner and just soak in the vibe of the city . Now to the best part , the staff here are probably the best I’ve ever come across , if you find the time do get a meal with the owners if they are around , they are the best storytellers around , they will share incredible stories of the city of Jodhpur and also take you around the city .
ゲゲストThis was easily one of our favourite stays in our 2-week trip of Northern India. We stayed at some much more expensive places but this was very authentic being an old haveli. It has charm and the staff were so friendly and helpful especially the manager. We felt completely safe here and Jodpur and Varanasi were the highlights of our holiday. Amazing views of the fort, fantastic rooftop restaurant called Indigo. Stay here!
Having stayed at over 14 Zostels across India, this has been one of the worst experiences in terms of service. The staff here are highly commercial, prioritizing upselling value-added services over genuine hospitality—this applies to both the reception and café teams. In particular, the receptionist with a moustache (whose name I can’t recall) clearly lacks the training required for the hospitality industry. A notable instance was when a guest requested a room change due to excessive noise from the first-floor rooms caused by the staff’s constant shouting. Instead of addressing the issue with courtesy or instructing the staff to be mindful, the receptionist dismissively replied, “Sound toh aega.” This lack of empathy and professionalism reflects poorly on the Zostel brand. Unfortunately, this has been my worst experience with Zostel staff and service to date. And before my stay at Zostel clock tower, I stayed at Zostel Ratanada and the staff behavior and support was top class
