A severe bout of food poisoning ruined the last few days of our trip. There was no way that it could have been caused by anything but the hotel cooking. A beautiful property being horribly mismanaged. The manager is an officious martinet who seems to think that travelers pay for airfare and exorbitant hotel prices just for the opportunity to... more

Wonderful setting, great rooms and lovely amenties - but staff who are more interested in getting you out of your room to shovel the next lot of guests in; the idea of customer service does not live up to the settings and environment; also dont be surprised if you have to carry your own bags up and down the steps... more

Our second trip to Rajasthan and we stayed again at the wonderful Samode Haveli in Jaipur and were not disappointed. This is a charming and delightful place, a haven of peace within the chaos of the city. Friendly and attentive service, a lovely outdoor dining area (doubles as the restaurant for lunch and dinner) and beautiful gardens with a stunning... more

We stayed here two nights as part of a custom tailored tour of India. Our suite was #107. To get to the room, we had to go up a small stairway to a private landing. Rooms are locked with old brass padlocks. The suite included a sitting room with TV, and a large bedroom separated by pillars. The walls were... more

We stayed 3 nights here in March and the setting was perfect. We stayed at a couple of heritage hotels around Rajasthan and this was the best in terms of setting, cleanliness and service. Also very convenient inside the walled city so if you want to visit something, you can easily walk or take a tuc-tuc. more

When the driver told us we had arrived at Jaipur but the Samode Palace would be another hour - we decided to improvise and head to the Samode Haveli in the town center and I'm very glad we did! One would never know such... more

Samode Haveli is a true gem, a fabulous maharajà palace in Jaipur. We chose it because it's the only great haveli (=palace) inside the Walled Pink City of Jaipur: our plan was to have a convenient place from which walking around in Jaipur city centre. We discovered it wasn't exactly like that because the inner (walled) city of Jaipur is... more

The Samode Haveli is a charming hotel; we had a very pleasant stay there and found it to be good value for money. more

An excellent hotel right in the old city of Jaipur. Lovely grounds, courtyard, swimming pool. Feel like you are in the heart of the city, but at the same time can lounge by the pool. Rooms are great, and the suites are huge! Breakfast included in our room rate and set us up - good selection of western food and... more
