Just fantastic - one of the best hotels we've stayed at. Beautiful, characterful common spaces, a great restaurant, excellent service, and all design/details beautifully thought out. We pride ourselves on being connoiseurs of the buffet breakfast... and this was a great one. Highly recommended! The two boutiques on site (and the one just next to the entrance to the hotel) were great too for last-minute shopping, including tailormade pyjamas etc. Highly recommended!

Honestly it was great! The bedrooms in the old building as more characterful than those in the new building so request hte former if you can.

The website and pictures simply do not do this place justice. The stunning historic property sits just outside the chaos of Jaipur's old city but conveniently central to all sightseeing. It's impecabbly preserved but with all of the modern upgrades (great water pressure in the shower, booming air conditioning). My room was HUGE with great high threadcount sheets and fluffy pillows. But the real star of the show is the larger property itself. After three days, I was still discovering little reading nooks, places to lounge, design details. We visited another MUCH more expensive hotel for lunch and it felt truly soulless in comparison to Samode. I was so thankful we chose this hotel. Truly charming. They also do a great job of helping to match you with the right activities, seamlessly arranging drivers and guides on the fly. It was nice to not have to plan too much in advance and be able to change up our schedule as we went. The vibe at dinner -- the live music, the lights twinkling beneath the ancient banyan tree, the incredible thali, just all around magical.

My only suggestion would be better poolside service - having staff come by to see what you might want or need rather than having to walk up to the pool bar would be lovely.

Rooms were big and the traditional feel of the hotel felt very in keeping with the wonderful old city location. We had rooms 126 (a really lovely twin (or king room) with a bath and shower and walk in wardrobe area ) and 111 which was a duplex suite. This room had a single bed downstairs with a bathroom for our son and a king bed and bathroom upstairs. Mr Rajesh, the concierge, is very helpful and where can will book drivers, expeditions etc. The grounds are lovely and the pool was much needed in the hot weather. Some of the best food we have tasted in Jaipur. A lovely buffet selection with hot orders for eggs etc for breakfast, and a delicious a la carte lunch and dinner menu.

Staff were good but not all were up to scratch. Beds could be a bit more comfortable and due to the hot weather the single air con in Room 111 struggled upstairs but it was fine when in bed!

We liked everything: Our Deluxe suite was nicely decorated, very clean with comfortable bed, a little terrace with garden view. The first room assigned to us was not of our 100% taste, but the supervising manager “saved” the situation and found a wonderful room for us. Thank you again! The hotel’s staff was very nice and accommodating. The welcome drink was a nice addition to this welcoming hotel. The location is perfect to explore the Jaipur. The wonderful outside pool ment a welcoming refreshment after a long sightseeing day. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel’s restaurant. Its breakfast buffet offers a good selection of Indian and Western food. On top you could order à la carte dishes and eggs that were included in the breakfast price. Our dinner à la carte was always delicious. To make long story short. If we ever go to Jaipur again (I hope so) Samode Halveti would be again our choice.

This is a very beautiful building, with lovely courtyards, courteous staff, and an elegant vibe. We were in an ENORMOUS and gorgeous room with a balcony. You could feel that we were in an old palace with it's thick walls, archways, and niches. The restaurant served very tasty food. After a week of eating Indian food, I was happy to have a nice pasta here. We enjoyed taking the guided morning walk to the flower and vegetable markets, the Hindu temple, and the street food vendors, that was recommended by the hotel.

We did not use the swimming pool which appeared to be only 1.05 meters deep, and thus a bit too shallow for swimming. I'm not a big fan of the old bolts and padlocks on the doors. They are a bit of a hassle to deal with and do not feel secure. The location of the hotel is horrible. You drive through FILTHY streets to get there and just when you wonder whether you've ended up in a slum, you enter the gates of the hotel and you are suddenly in an oasis. It is quite jarring. Frankly, Jaipur needs to clean up its act! I can't even begin to describe the amount of garbage in the streets. It is truly post-apocalyptic.

I had booked a garden view room. It had its own courtyard area. The room was gorgeous and had a well stocked minibar, a coffee machine and plenty of bottled water that was replaced regularly. The bathroom was up two steps so wouldn't be suitable for someone with mobility issues. The bathroom had plenty of towels, beautiful robes and complimentary toiletries. There was also an ironing board, iron and safe. The shower was very power and there was no shortage of hot water. There were two cocktail bars one being by the pool. I enjoyed a couple of cocktails in the one in the courtyard. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The restaurant staff were wonderful and I was well looked after both at breakfast and dinner. The food was very tasty and there was a good selection of dishes to choose from. Breakfast was a buffet offering both local and European dishes. I noticed they offered Kombucha and Yakult at breakfast for those guests who may have had stomach issues which I thought was a great idea. The swimming pool was a good size and clean. The gardens were well maintained and I saw staff walking dogs in the early morning and early evening. I would have liked a couple nights more at the hotel but unfortunately my schedule didn't allow it. Highly recommend a stay here and would stay here again

Sockets in the room need fixing/replaced done didn’t work with an adapter Fridge wasn’t cold WiFi was not the best as kept dropping off

Amazing hotel. All perfect, the food, the staff, the hotel is very luxurious inside. They can arrange a taxi for a full day trip if needed. They helped us with an early check out at 3am, and made us a breakfast box.

WiFi is slow and doesn’t reach all rooms (at least not mine). I had to use the internet from my phone, or go to the bar for good internet on my laptop. Some electricity plugs were not working properly, so I had to charge my phone far away from my bed. There’s not much to do outside the hotel facilites, so you need a driver to get you out to the main Tourist attractions

Great food and service at the restaurant. I particularly like they discourage individual tipping. All the meals we had were very nice, especially their coconut jaggery date ice cream. This is the second time we stayed in the Haveli and have always been impressed with their rooms. All in all two thumbs up and we will be coming back again.

The toilet seat cover was broken from the hinges which we took as maintenance issue that got missed.

The place is enchanting, and so are the rooms in the old part of the building although some may only have small windows. The rooms in the new building are also very good. The breakfast has a variety of food choices also suitable for vegans. The restaurant menu has many options. Very beautiful atmosphere in the bar and restaurant areas with music and nature all around. Good location to explore the city.

I would only suggest opting for refillable soap and shampoo dispensers in the bathrooms over bathroom amenities in plastic packaging

The room was absolutely stunning and the entire property was gorgeous. It was also very centrally located so we could avoid some traffic. Breakfast and dinner were good.

The restaurant felt pretty cold and even the waiters were wearing jackets and hats. Wish there was a heater. We tried getting a driver to Agra from the hotel but we were quoted 3x of what it should cost, which felt like we were getting lied to and ended up booking an external transfer.
