Singhvi's Haveli

IDEAL RATING 3.5. We were a group of 6 (4 adults + 2 kids). Jodhpur was our interim halt on the way to Jaisalmer, for a night's stay. Our intercity travels were by train. The hotel is located in the Jodhpur old town (blue city), with buildings huddled around the Meherangarh fort. Approach lane is very narrow - TAKE AN AUTORICKSHAW INSTEAD OF A TAXI/ CAB if you are landing up at the station and carrying lot of baggage. The lanes are too narrow for a taxi/ cab to reach the hotel, and the lanes are quite dirty for a walk. THE GOOD PART (why rated above 3) - The stay was comfortable, rooms were spic and span. The hotel immediately provided rooms on our arrival (we arrived at ~5am, but did not have to wait for check-in). They have very nice decor of a typical haveli and fantastic city and fort views. Excellent carpeted fooding area with low mattresses and cushions where you can relax, grab a book or simply chat while enjoying your food. Food was good. Staff was very well behaved. The fort is at a walking distance. THE BAD PART (why rated below 5) - First, the narrow approach lanes. Second, some of the utensils in which food was served had spider webs at their bottoms, hence not properly cleaned. Next, there was load shedding in the middle of the night and the rooms (standard room plan, ground floor) given to us did not have any power backup. We got up startled while sleeping and had to keep our torches switched on till the power resumed.

Very lovely people and attentive service. It seems that many of the men who work there come from Nepal, work the season, and then return to their families until the next season. The room was quirky and highly decorated, but comfortable. (As is common, there was no place to hang clothing.)

The best property in town Visit once to feel the experience The hosts are ever so welcoming and friendly The staff is helpful The property itself is beautiful with so brilliant spots for photography
