As soon as we walked into our room, we were delighted---a gorgeous royal couch lay on one end of the room, a large comfortable bed on the other, eclectic and colourful lamps were set on the walls and on the side tables, and the room was so clean it was practically gleaming. It was the decor that really caught our... More

Chitra Katha – A good place to stay and an absolute value for money. I was here with my friends for four nights and I enjoyed my stay.

Folks at Chitra Katha were very inviting. Decor was a pleasant surprise. It gave a good feel of Jaipur!!! The dawn roof top chais were memorable moments. Rooms were very clean. And it was very easy to get to other places in Jaipur because of its location. I would definitely recommend Chitra Katha!!!

I stayed here for two night, arrives late at 10pm, the staffs make me feel welcome and very professional. The room is very clean and well ventilate, although the bathroom is share, due to the location of my room (201), they is hardly anyone else using the bathroom, again the bathroom is well maintain and spotless. The food at the... More

Limited comments as I was only here for one night. What I enjoyed about this hotel was having breakfast on the rooftop restaurant with a view over a crumbling fort. There is quite an extensive menu and the food I ate was good - Western food was passable (very good toasted sandwiches) and Indian food tasty. Room was clean, but... More

Thanks for such an honest and articulate review. We really wait for these. These are the ones which really point at the things that get missed by the management in the course of daily fire fighting. It’s nice that you took the time out to respond. As a policy we try to make sure that the drivers have the basic... More

we arrived at hotel pearl palace only to find there were no available rooms, and Chitrakatha was right opposite of the street. The room and service are quite worthy of its price. they make delicious Indian and continental food at the rooftop restaurant, which is also a great place to hang out and meet other travelers at night.

Thank you for such kind words. We are glad you liked the property and the staff. Such appreciation certainly motivates them to perform better. As far as the water heaters are concerned, we’ll definitely put a sign in the bathroom saying; “It’s advisable to use buckets in winters. In case you wish to use the shower, please reduce the flow...

There are a couple of hotels at the Hathroi fort road (Kalyan, Maya Niwas, Pearl Palace and Chitra Katha). I checked the rooms of Kalyan and found that Chitra Katha had better... More

Could be the bonhomie, genial behaviour, fabulous food, crisp aesthetic paintings / motiffs, and a homely atmosphere. In a nutshell, it was truly a beautiful experience. The whole place is eclectically done and is evolving further. Neighborhood to Hathroi Fort gives the place an authentic ethnic flavour. It connects you to the Rajasthan of the yore. Clean, neat and well... More

We stayed here for two nights due to a recommendation from a friend. We thought our room was one of the the best value rooms we found in India.
