Dera Mandawa

The owner is super helpful. Pet friendly. Nice decorations. Clean rooms. Good location. Staff was super friendly. Food was good. Puppet show was also nice. Nice collection of activities even though we didn’t do much as we only stayed for 2 days. Super clean bathroom. Hot water. Feel like home and safe because of Bagheera.

A wonderful place to stay in Jaipur! My husband, daughter and I had two rooms sharing a veran*** and opening onto the central courtyard. Both rooms were very well-appointed, large and airy. I am a very light sleeper and had no noise disturbance at all (quite unusual for me, particularly in India). We were made to feel extremely welcome. I admired Mr Singh’s peacock cushions and he ***aged to source some for us so they will soon be back in London. The staff were all very attentive and the children of one staff member taught my daughter how to play some traditional Indian games. It got quite competitive - India won the best of three. It’s quite the experience to stay here - this is one of five hotels booked for our trip to India and our favourite so far. There can’t be ***y places one can discuss comparative religions over breakfast with the owner. A real pleasure to be here, we’d love to return.

I am lucky to of had some amazing adventures and stayed in some equally amazing places so I feel I can speak with some authority when I say Dera ***dawa is about as good as it gets. From the moment we were greeted we were made to feel special and when we saw our rooms it blew us away. Not ventured in to Jaipur yet but if it is half as good as this place it will be very special indeed

An amazing building in which we had an extraordinary room - huge, with stunning decoration, two floors and a huge comofortable bed. The courtyard is lovely and full of birds and the location, tucked away just outside the city gates, is excellent. The staff and owner are all great. My only reservation is that the menu is limited and the food not great, and considerably more expensive than in hotels of a similar quality and style.

We stayed 3 nights at the Dera ***dawa as part of our tour of India. The hosts were most welcoming and explained everything to us. We stayed in Room number 1, which is massive! The room was spacious and very clean. We ate in the hotel on two evenings and the food was fantastic. The staff at Dera ***dawa do all they can to make you feel welcome. There was a puppet show and because it was February a fire in the court yard at night. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dera ***dawa.

Charming and comfortable beyond all description. Worth the trip to India just for this. And no TV in the rooms, a rare blessing! I don't need to say any more but for some reason TripAdvisor insists on200 characters minimum so I'll just fill space unti

We stayed at a different hotel, but went to Dera ***dawa for the cooking class with the owners who were both lovely. Some of the guests at this class were staying there, but others were like us, having been driven there for the evening. It was great with about 5 other couples, each of us participating with Durga Singh and his wife being exceptional hosts. It was an informative, entertaining and delicious evening.

This place was a joy. From the greeting with a brief history of the building, to the location, bedrooms, meals and entertainment - we loved it. If you're looking for something a little different and a home from home fee, then Dera ***dawa is a great choice

The hotel was rather “quirky” and fantastic as well. The owner and family were really hospitable and helpful. The suite we had was truly Indian.. two levels, pillars, internal drapes, and of course slightly odd plumbing! The food for breakfast and dinner was simple but very tasty. And a lovely courtyard to relax in during the evening. Overall very pleased with our choice.
