ITC Rajputana, Jaipur is ideal place for your stay in Jaipur. Friendly behaved staff. Play area for children, lavish reception hall, pool site. good for family fun as well as business stay. all this in reasonable price.

We stayed here while visiting Jaipur on a tour. The hotel lobby is STUNNING and gives you a false impression of what the rest of the hotel is like, frankly. The rooms are in need of an update - ours in particular smelled of mould badly. We were both getting allergies and returned to the front desk - they were wonderful at getting us another room on the same floor so we could be close to the rest of our party. Dining at the main restaurant was a joke, would not return. Breakfast buffet was much better, great service. Would not return unless they renovated the rooms.

The ITC has just had a major renovation of its public areas. It is a very impressive lobby and bar area. Certainly a luxurious welcome.

The basic rooms they first offered us were not appealing. The upgrade we finally got was excellent.

There is a nice poolside bar with live traditional entertainment in the evening. Unfortunately we were there during a cold snap so couldn't take advantage.

We had booked a non-smoking room with a King bed. The first room they offered us was a smoking room. Besides being a smoking room it was dark and unappealing. When we balked, they offered us a non-smoking room with twin beds. Only after we complained again did they upgrade us to a non-smoking room with King bed on a higher floor. Those rooms were definitely much nicer than the basic room we were first offered.

We dined in the lobby restaurant the first night. It was standard international hotel food to please the masses. The food was fine but unexceptional. The service was very spotty and slow. The second evening we dined in the Indian restaurant. We had no reservation so ended up at an uncomfortable small table near the kitchen. It was partly our own fault for not having reserved, but it was frustrating to see as we left that there were lots of empty tables for four. I guess they didn't want to waste them on just a couple?

The breakfast buffet was very good with a decent selection of Indian foods and pretty average western foods. Considering the one and only thing the service staff need to do is serve coffee or tea, they were surprisingly slow and hard to attract.

The hotel is about 20 minutes from the walled city, so a little out of the way.

This was our first stay at this hotel. It is very close to the railway station (a couple of miles away) and a 30 minute ride from the airport. The lobby is very impressive, the staff is extremely helpful and willing to take care of any thing that you might need. Our room at check in was not to our liking and we were immediately given another room, no questions asked. We chose one on the ground floor (room #1120) - it looked out on to a small private garden with a beautiful fountain and beautiful, green plants. The room was well maintained with the usual TV, coffee makers etc. - all in all it was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The other great thing was that we could get no outside noise in the room even though there was a busy road out front.

The grounds are impressive and there is a stunning outdoor swimming pool with spectacular landscaping. Close to the swimming pool was this small but fun area for children to play in, including a huge snakes and ladders board game painted on the floor! There are comfortable seating areas everywhere - near the pool, in the lobby and passage ways.

All in all this is a great hotel and we will certainly stay here if we come back to Jaipur again.
