Hotels near Shree Gopal Ji Ka Mandir, Jodhpur

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.

The hotel and the stay were amazing comforting secure and relaxed. The hotel was very clean, and the stall was extremely polite, friendly, and respectful. They have amazing and wonderful staff. The place is exquisite it is very, very close to mehrangad fort. There is breakfast, lunch, and dinner provision in the hotel, too. I must tell you the food is fantastic, tasty and completely homely. They use fresh vegetables and serve hot food. The restaurant, which was on the terrace, gave a fabulous and mesmerising look of mehrangad fort. You can see the fort from the terrace itself as close as possible. The chef made really delicious and amazing food. They even served tasty Daal Batti Churma, which was homemade and authentic. The staff of restaurant was also very polite and they were really helpful and nice people. The hotel even provided affordable rickshaw service, and the rickshaw uncle(Harun Pathan) was very nice and cooperative, and he explained the whole culture of rajasthan, showed us every small small tourist spots and told us small small details and information. He made the trip memorable by showing us the galliyas of Blue Jodhpur 💙 which we enjoyed the most, and took authentic and pure sweets, namkeen, and purchased bangles and traditional rajasthani items. The hotel and every person associated with it is very nice.

It’s a modified haveli, with a touch of ethnicity and urbanism. The location is interior of old city, and you can only take auto, bike or walk. Clock tower and famous markets are nearby. They also provide auto for city tour and a helpful guide for heritage walk. The property is very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

We had an excellent stay at Umaid Bhavan this past weekend. Right from the moment we entered for check-in, we were escorted warmly all the way to the time we left the property. I don't think I've been fed like this for a while! Kudos to the chefs & the team for such a wonderful dining experience. The room upgrade was something we did not expect & it blew our mind. A big shout out to Swaroop Singh, Rajveer & Malvika for their detail to attention & wonderful hospitality. The spa & pool facilities were top notch. We left very special throughout our stay. The last day was made extra special by handing us the local delicacies like Mirchi vadas & Pyaaz kachoris. Thank you very much for such a memorable stay! We hope to return again soon.

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.

We went to Jodhpur for Staycation and this Royal Palatial Property made our stay Ecstatic. We stayed mostly in the property as it has many things to explore right from beautiful swimming pool, lake view sitting, stables, mini golf experience and what not.. Someone who loves nature, birds, etc should definitely plan a stay as. A mesmerizing experience of extremely humble staff, good food, nature & impressive palatial room with Antiques. Do plan a visit.

The hotel is located on the west side of the airport, some distance from the old city and the new city, but it is very convenient to call a car. Just opened for 5 years, the facilities are very new. The small suite I stayed in was less than 700 including breakfast, which was very affordable. Cleanliness is good and the bed is comfortable. The lighting is good, and the Internet speed is fast for Indian hotels. Sound insulation is acceptable. The air conditioner is powerful, and the living room and bedroom are controlled separately. Put 6 bottles of drinking water directly in the room, no need to ask the front desk. What needs to be improved is: the small suite does not have a bathtub. The breakfast is vegan, not even eggs. Although the meals are good and there are ***y choices, I still feel uncomfortable. The service attitude is very good. In addition, the lobby bar is very affordable. A large piece of cake only costs 120 rupees, which is cheaper than outside cake shops.

The stay was lovely. The hotel and its services are truly amazing. The rooms were in good condition and the food was excellent. However, their restaurant service is quite slow. The staff was polite and welcoming. Located in the center of the city, it was one of the best options.

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.
