One of our favourite hotel stays ever. An oasis in the middle of Jaipur. Mr Durga Singh was the perfect host, greeting us at the train station, telling us all about the interesting history of the hotel and joined us for dinner to tell us tales of his fascinating family and life. The breakfast was excellent and we also enjoyed a Rajasthani thali in the evening. The rooms were spacious and clean with a huge bed and divans that the children loved.

Nothing. We only wished we could have stayed for longer

Superb stay - so helpful staff who met us on the rail station platform at 6 am in the morning after an overnight train from Jalandar! Able to access the rooms early with no extra charge. Rooms were super clean and spacious and tidy and helpfully could share a room as a family. Food was simple but service superb and the hotel arranged a guide and transport for Jaipur. Good restaurant recommendations too and nice roof terrace. It’s in a busy area but super quiet and peaceful so ideal location. Thank you for a great stay!

Staff welcomed us in a cosy environment, really transporting you back to the old fashioned colonial atmosphere. Nice breakfast freshly served every morning . We loved some environment friendly arrangements . The room was exceptionally big and the sleeping was sound.

Nothing really that we didn’t like , but would suggest some refreshment of the furniture, especially the curtains , and the refurbishment of the bathroom.

Great staff, family owned hotel providing good breakfast and sharing the history of the building. We had a welcome drink and could attend also puppet show. It is really a quiet oasis in the middle of the frenetic and loud city. The room was spacious with beautiful furnitures. Again the staff was very attentive and helpful, we felt very well welcome.

This is a magical place, right in the middle of Jaipur. It's an oasis in every regard. Mr. Singh, third-generation owner of the haveli, was magnificent, as was his staff. The home-cooked Rajasthani food (breakfast, dinner) was delicious. Dera Mandawa is a true gem, and not to be missed. We loved it!

What a special place to stay in Jaipur. We loved the style and personal service at this hotel, we were made to feel so welcome - like one of the family! We also did the cooking class and watched the puppet show - both were brilliant. A special mention has to go to Mr Singh who was the heart and soul of the place. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Personal, friendly and helpful haveli. A sanctuary in busy Jaipur. Good homecooked food and we also took part in a cookery workshop with a trip to the market first which was great fun and delicious. The host, Durga, had many stories and anecdotes that made our trip.

Beautiful building and setting in a great location. Each room was stunning and we all felt like royalty. Mr Singh, the owner, is always on hand, dedicated to providing an excellent experience for his guests. Breakfasts are plentiful and delicious all served in a courtyard filled with gorgeous trees and birdsong. Highly recommended!

My stay at the haveli, was absolutely beautiful. The paneer and his family is so welcoming & truly was the best part of the experience. They were very corporative & treated their guest like family!
