Hotels near Nagana Rai Temple Shri Ram Colony, Jodhpur

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. WORST EVER EXPERIENCE WITH STAFF & MANAGEMENT of this HOTEL. I had booked two Superior Class Rooms in this Hotel for my family(incl. Sr. Citizen Parents, 1.5 and 5 year old kids) through Goibibo website on 9th Nov, 2023 and got booking confirmation on same day. Duration of Stay was between 28th & 29th Nov. I was travelling from Jaipur to Jodhpur on 28th Nov and I called to this Hotel at around 12:30 PM to inform that I am travelling and will check in late evening and the receptionist said OK. We reached at Hotel Reception around 8:30 PM in and told receptionist about my booking, he said rooms will be ready in 10 minutes and asked us to wait. After few minutes, another staff member came there and he informed us that due to some electricity issue rooms are not available at their Hotel and they have made rooms available at another Hotel(Named as Megh Niwas or Clarks Inn) which is 1 to 1.5 km away. We then moved to that Hotel with Staff but noticed that Hotel was located in very small lanes and which was 3 km away and not on highway location like City Square. The Manager of Citi Square By Keymagic Hotel was already present at that other Hotel. He told us that due to some Technical Issues they are shifting all their guest to this Hotel which is Heritage Property and Rooms are of similar or higher category than those booked by me in their Hotel. After looking at the rooms in this Hotel, I felt that we are cheated by Staffs of City Square. Rooms were not cleaned, there was no ventilation inside room, some kind of bad smell was coming from rooms as it seems those were NOT Cleaned for several months.(See the attached photos clicked in Bathrooms) I told Manager of Hotel City Square that we did not like rooms and we want rooms in their Hotel itself. He denied saying he can not give rooms in City Square as no room available there and can not help us. It was around 9:45 pm in clock and I then called customer care of Goibibo to informed them hardships faced by me and my family. I informed Goibibo representative that Staff Members of Hotel City Square lied with me several times and did not keep their commitments towards customer. I asked the representative to contact manager of Hotel and request to make room available at City Square only but again Manager did not agree. Then I told Goibibo representative that I can stay in Hotel Megh Niwas on condition that Hotel City Square should refund 50% of amount paid by me as compensation because quality of rooms in that Hotel was below average. But this proposal was also rejected by Manager of the City Square. As I was with family and kids and it was already 10:30 pm I did not want to do follow up more and hence told Goibibo that I will check in Hotel Megh Niwas. I moved towards reception area of the Hotel for check in & suddenly Manager of City Square told me that I CAN'T CHECK-IN now as my booking has been cancelled by them. I was shocked to hear it. I understood it quickly that because I as

Super nice hotel great hotel. Everything was nice. Me and my family would surely choose it again next time we visit. Great location, friendly staff. Good value for the money. Very comfortable. Would definitely recommend thank you”

Location of the hotel is good. Walking distance from the Railway Station and about 5 km.away from the Jodhpur Airport. Prominent tourist places are in close proximity. Very well maintained hotel. Stayed for three nights. Very cooperative staff. Food quality is excellent. Would like to stay in Kalinga Hotel should I get to visit Jodhpur again.

You never quite know what you may be getting when you stay at a small, locally owned hotel. Sure, you can read reviews and look at pictures, but you never *really* know until you get there. I’ll get into the hotel itself in a moment, but the main benefit this place has going for it are its owners. They are kind and chatty, and aren’t just concerned about you having a good stay at their hotel, but a good stay in their city. They’re more than happy to sit and talk about where you should go, and are very interested in helping you understand the culture of the place you’re in. One of the owners said he’d come and sit with me at the restaurant on the roof while I ate, and he did. He even offered to go walking around one of the neighborhoods with me. I cannot emphasize how important this is. When you’re in a place like India for the first time, it’s absolutely vital that you have helpful people to lean on a bit. I don’t mean that in an “India is dangerous” kind of way, but in an “India can be completely confusing and difficult to comprehend” way. I would regularly come back with questions about things I saw while wandering, and not only were the owners willing to answer them, but they seemed genuinely excited by the opportunity to help me understand the culture of their city and their country. As for the hotel itself, it’s clean and comfortable. One thing you have to understand is that this is an old building, in the old part of the city — and those are GOOD things. Yes, there are more “western” style hotels in newer buildings in Jodhpur. There’s even one that’s under the Marriott umbrella. But if you want to stay at a Marriott, you can do that at home. And more importantly, those hotels are not in the old city, and that’s where you’re going to be spending your time. The Kings Retreat is right in the midst of it, and it was helpful to just be able to spend 15 minutes walking back to the room to take a shower or rest for a bit. As I said, this is an old building. It’s what’s called a “haveli” — typically an old mansion with a central courtyard you’ll find in many cities in India. So yes, there are some quirks like old doors or having to turn on a water heater and wait a few minutes before you take a shower. To me, this is all part of the experience. And the owners have done a great job with modernizing the building. I’m sure there’s a lot of regulations when it comes to making changes to a historic property, and I was a bit concerned at first when I walked into the room and found it hot — but let me tell you, that air conditioner is ice cold and blows like a tornado if you want it to. Yes, you’ll probably have to switch into a tuk-tuk with your luggage when you get close to the building, as the streets are quite narrow. I promise you, this is totally fine and normal. And yes, there’s no elevator, since this is an old building. But I was upstairs and it made no difference. There’s a guy there who’s very used to carrying bags up the steps.

Clean and pleasant hotel conveniently located for step well and clock tower and restaurants. Offered a nice breakfast and panoramic view of the fort and other city landmarks on rooftop restaurant. We were the only customers at dinnertime as we came off season so there was not much happening but I can see that this would be a popular hotel during tourist season. Staff were all really friendly and we enjoyed our stay here.

I thought it was a bit pricey for a dormitory, but since it accommodates up to 4 people, it would be a good choice if you have a lot of people traveling with you. Otherwise, I think a single or double room would be a better choice than a dormitory. Representative places worth visiting include the unique style well, clock tower, Mehrangarh Fort, Pachetia Hill, and Kim Mohan Restaurant, all within a 20-minute walk at most. It was a street. There are a lot of cheap accommodations around the castle, but this one is also an attractive accommodation. (I only took pictures of the door of the accommodation, but not the bed. There were two bunk beds stretched out against the wall and a bathroom. The hot water was great and the air conditioner was working well. It came out well, it was spacious for two people, but I feel like it might be a bit narrow for four people)

This is the second time I have enjoyed staying at Jee Ri Haveli. Hi***shu and his family were lovely hosts. The Haveli is outside of the old town but the views of the fort from the rooms and rooftop restaurant are spectacular. You are within easy walking distance of everything including the excellent Sardar Market. The rooms are comfortable but not ***y luxuries but this doesn't matter as the beds are comfortable and hot water in the shower!! The food in the restaurant is excellent as well accompanied by the aforementioned view - see photo . They can arrange cars etc for arrival and departure if needed. Hi***shu took us on a wonderful walk through the old town - the blue city- and took us to visit the Jaswant Thada mausoleum and the superb Mehrangarh Fort. We really enjoyed this as he took us to places we never would have discovered on our own , we saw some wonderful murals and we ate the most delicious local sweets and found out the next day we made the local paper! Highly recommended and I would very happily stay here again.

Nice stay food was good no issue at all First visit was winderful, staff with heldfull in nature, nice hospitality by all staff highly recommended to all my guest, nice welcome plus service is very good spend quality time with wife. Food was good.

We were celebrating our parents’ 50th wedding anniversary and we zeroed into Umaid Bhawan Palace as an ideal venue. We were a group of 11 including our parents and 5 kids and we planned our stay from 2nd to 5th Oct 2024. We had planned an elaborate ceremony for the event on 3rd October evening and it was meant to be a surprise for our parents. And it turned out to be far better than we could ever imagine, the experience was simply ethereal. We had a warm ceremonial welcome and were thrilled to know that all our three rooms were upgraded to Royal Suites. After we were comfortable in our well appointed rooms, Rajnandini and Sikander Singh Bhati gave us a very detailed overview the activities in the palace like a curated tour of the palace, a treasure hunt across the palace, peacock feeding, horse riding, cookie making, mocktail making and all amenities for sporting and liesure. Sikanderji gave us a personal tour of the palace & museum, explained the history and shared a lot of trivia. He and his team took special care of us during our entire stay there. Now coming to the elaborate anniversary ceremony which was planned and executed by the hotel staff. It started with a ceremonial turban tying for the gentlemen and chuniri for the ladies in the Heritage Room. Narendra Singh did a fabulous job and the 9 metre turbans were outstanding! This was followed by a royal carriage ride for our parents and the 5 kids happily hopped on. Then we had a ceremonial welcome by Malvika into the palace and our jaws dropped when we saw that the entire palace lawns were decked up only for our event! We then proceeded to the pool side for a vedi ceremony where our parents renewed their vows in a traditional wedding pooja. The entire setup was heavenly and my parents were simply overwhelmed with emotion. After this we proceeded back to the palace steps for a varmala ceremony which was immediately followed by a 30 seconds fireworks show. We then walked on a red carpet which had royal ceremonial guards on both sides and fireworks at every few steps. The Baradari (a white monument with 12 marble pillars) in the center of the palace lawns was decked up for our dinner. This was accompanied by a rajashtani folk music and dance performance. The meal was a sumptuous traditional thali but had four menus – one vegetarian, one non vegetarian, one vegan and a special meal for our father. The entire ceremony lasted for nearly 3 hours and we were pampered by the entire team of Umaid Bhawan Palace. It was a truly royal experience and we actually felt as if the entire palace was decked up only for the 11 of us. Simply unreal! During our entire stay we had some fabulous meals especially local delicacies at Risala. Thanks a lot to Jabar, Narendra Singh, Khanchand, Dhirender, Bhupendra Singh, Hukum Singh, Chef Kush etc. Apologies for missing out mentioning the other members of the staff but the service levels were simply fantastic. One can imagine how pushy 5 kids

Hotel service is very good. I left the laptop in the hotel. I found the computer disappeared the next day in Udaipur. After two or three days, I contacted the hotel and found it. The hotel found a car to drive from Jodhpur to Udaipur. Give it to me (of course, the cost is our own and it is higher than the cost of finding a car outside, but still let the hotel find a solid, after all, is a valuable item), hand in hand to find the package is very good, the driver is also very responsible. Special thanks to the hotel's service staff. The location of the hotel is indeed too far from the city. Ola is about 260 rupees to the main scenic spot. We have a car at the time of the call, but it is so uncertain whether it is always a good car.
