Jodhpur Heritage Haveli Guest House

This is a beautiful heritage property in the quiet area of Jodhpur. The rooms are beautifully decorated and individualised. They all have A/C and fans and are set around a courtyard. Best room I stayed in in India for sure. The rooftop terrace is special with great views over the whole city and also the fort. We enjoyed sitting up here for dinner (one night), breakfast and just drinks, but we did also use the place as a base to explore the rest of the city. It's all very walkable - from the fort to the city, though we did get a tuk-tuk from the train station which stopped just short of the property due to the narrow lanes. The staff are lovely and although English is not always available (depending who you speak to) we always got by and they made us feel very welcome. They also arranged a taxi to Udaipur for us - and then even negotiated the price down for us! I'd stay here again in an instant and we were sad to leave.

I stayed at Jodhpur Heritage Haveli for 2 nights. It was really nice, but not perfect – which kinda added to the charm, to be honest. The family that runs it (from Nepal) was so kind, always checking on us to make sure we’re okay. Felt like staying with relatives, in a way. The haveli itself is super traditional, like it has that old-world vibe, and the rooftop view of Mehrangarh Fort was something special. Rooms were clean and big, but the hot water wasn’t always working properly – a bit annoying, but we managed. Food was homestyle, very simple but tasty. Breakfast didn’t have many options, but it was fresh and filling. The family gave us tips on places to explore in Jodhpur that weren’t overcrowded, which was really helpful. If you want a stay that’s more about the people and the experience than luxury, this is a great pick. It’s not perfect, but it’s very warm and real.
