Fantastic value for money, this small hotel really deserves it no.1 rating. I relied entirely on other TA reviews in selecting this hotel and I'm glad I did.
The only downside was that the room decor was dated, but other than that I have only good things to say. The welcome received by all the staff and especially Mr Singh the owner, the receptionist, and Rocky, a waiter, was extremely warm, friendly and helpful. Mr Singh's booklet about Jaipur was very useful and is a nice souvenir of our stay. I really felt that the staff were willing to go the extra mile, for instance it is the only hotel in India which we stayed in that was happy to give us small change each morning before setting out for the day - very helpful!
For £10 a night we couldnt have asked for or expected more. Obviously you dont get luxury for that price but it far exceeded our expectations. Our room and en suite was immaculately clean, the communal areas of the hotel are cheerfully decorated and the rooftop restaurant is fabulous and again exceedingly good value for money. Unusually for us we ate in the restaurant for all 4 nights of our stay. The food was delicious and varied and the setting superb. Unfortunately the beer supply ran out on our last night. I hope that wasnt our fault! The overall feel of the hotel is very relaxed but it wasnt the backpacker joint I was expecting for the price, there were quite a few families and business people there too.
In terms of location, the pink city is about a ten minute auto rickshaw ride from the hotel, so pretty handy. There is usually a gaggle of drivers outside and they are pretty reasonably priced if you haggle a bit. It is worth asking at reception what the going rate is for your destination as this will help you to haggle and someone will generally pipe up that they are prepared to take you for that price.
