Juna Mahal Boutique Home Stay

I travel many years in India and prefer Homestay, because of the feeling of being in a family, their friendliness and support. Mostly very good. This homestay: EXCELLENT. If When. I arrived in the swall streets I had a moment I thought this would be a disaster, but when I entered the house, its was like coming into a different reality. could rate I with a 20 instead of 10, I would do it. Very antique and decorated rooms, good food, amazing view on the 3 terras floors, quiet. Usually I stay one noght, now I did 2 and returned after a weel for me more nights. I feel like part of the family and being a friend.

My friends and I enjoyed a wonderful stay in the heart of Jodhpur's blue city. This haveli is hidden between narrow streets and alleyways of the oldest parts of the city. The haveli's entrance conceals a beautiful interior and several floors of rooms, artefacts, and interesting adornments. The rooftop view at sunrise and sunset is lovely, and our favourite spot (apart from our room) was the dining terrace with the umbrella - we monopolized that space during our stay. The owner, Joshi, was very responsive to our group's inquiries and helped us arrange a tuktuk the evening we arrived (despite our train being significantly delayed). Joshi's son greeted us and checked us in at the haveli and Arjun helped us with our luggage. All staff were friendly and immensely helpful. Joshi's son advised us on the worthwhile sites to explore, helped organize a tour of Bishnoi village (highly recommend), and arranged laundry services. Arjun was at our beck and call for all mealtimes, ensuring we received our exact order and a delicious spread (shoutout also to the chef!). Arjun's infectious smile made us feel especially welcome and was a highlight of our stay. The manager of another haveli owned by Joshi gave us an amazing and informative tour of the blue city - can highly recommend as he knows every alleyway and the long history of the area. Joshi also helped one of my friends send a package home (too many lovely things to buy and not enough space in her suitcase), and I felt everyone went out of their way to help us - no matter what it was.

While traveling with friends through India we spent three wonderful nights at the Juna Mahal. The hotel is very nicely furnished with an eye for details and from the roof top you have a good view over the city. The hotel is centrally located so you can explore the old town and the Mehrangarh fort by walking. One morning we also did the blue city walking tour organized by the hotel. The tour is highly recommended as the great tour guide will show you many things you might probably have overseen and provide you many background information. On the roof top you can also enjoy delicious food freshly cooked. Arjun will make sure that all food wishes will be fulfilled.

Very good stay quiet place in the middle of the old city. The food is very good Lal Singh the cook is very suit and always helping or doing things to make you stay enjoyable. I recommend the place if you are looking for a simple place clean with nice people making your stay a good souvenir.

Our family of five spent four nights at Juna Mahal. Location in the old town was stunning - rooftop views of the fort and city. It was a haven compared to the hustle below. Yes, you do need to take a tuktuk to get into the old city, but it is so worth it. The rooms were authentic and beautifully decorated. We had breakfast each morning which were simple but quality. The bathrooms were a little hot, but the rooms had great air con. Stairs are steep so don't imagine great for small children (ours were teenagers). Our hosts were friendly and super helpful in lots of ways.
