Jewel Palace Haweli

The hotel is set in a really beautiful haveili which is decorated beautifully throughout. There are many areas to sit and enjoy the shade, or the fantastic view of the fort and blue city, all of which are wonderfully designed and well maintained. The view of the fort from the upper terrace is probably the best in Jodhpur. The A/C kept the room very cool.

Despite there being a sign saying you can pay by card, the owner told us we can't. This is normal for India so make sure you carry enough cash. Most service in the hotel and restaurant is carried out by the two young sons of the owner. This is sweet, but could be a little frustrating if you are in a hurry as some requests took quite some time to answer! Because this is a traditional haveli, some of the doorways are very low so mind your head!

As we arrived late in the night, the hotel staff showed us to our room quickly and allowed us to go through the check-in administration the following morning. Food order was also available round the clock.

Haweli location on Google Maps was not accurate. Nonetheless, hotel staff was quick to respond by call and texts to help us locate the Haweli.

The staff was kind and friendly. The food is good. The atmosphere of the hotel at night is lovely. Good location.

The room and the common areas were very dusty.
