We spent 2 great nights in Dera Mandawa. The owner and family are very welcoming and helpful. The room we stayed in was huge and beautifully done and there is a lovely courtyard. Breakfasts were delicious (especially the homemade porridge) as was the dinner that we had there. It's very eco-friendly - they have cows in the back who's dung... More

We loved our 2 night stay at this rather special little hotel. The location is perfect for exploring the old town. It's very central but very quiet and calm: as soon as you walk through the gates into the central courtyard and lush garden the noise and dust of the city just seem to melt away. Our room was very...

We only spent two nights here, unfortunately, the service, atmosphere, friendliness and rooms are without equal an we could easily have moved in for a week or so! We ate here on our first night in the courtyard with musical entertainment expertly explained by the host and really enjoyed the lovely atmosphere cocooned from the noise and bustle of the... More

Excellent situation. Central but very calm - in contrast to Jaipur! Mr Singh and all his staff were most helpful, solicitous and informative. Children enjoyed kite-flying from the roof. Particularly enjoyed tea brought to our bedroom and delicious breakfasts. Very comfortable room.

We stayed for two nights in February and found Dera Mandawa to be an attractive and calm oasis in the bustle of Jaipur. The welcome was amazing and the staff helpful and Mr Singh gracious and informative. We particularly appreciated the efforts made to introduce us to local cuisine. The resident musician playing in the garden in the evenings made... More

What a great experience, including the most hospitable greeting from when we arrived until we left, outstanding accommodation, very clean and emperor size beds. The food was very authentic and the staff were very attentive to all of our needs. We were fortunate to stay during Holi and experienced the colorful festivities offered by the management and staff during the... More

Being greeted by the patron of where you are staying is always a pleasant beginning. Couple that with great oversized roomswith all new fixtures and amenities and younhave a true gem. The staff was extremely attentive. I particularly liked how they brought you tea as a wake up call aheadof your breakfast. I had dinner there 1 night and the... More

We are currently travelling around India and stayed recently for two nights in a suite at the Dera Mandawa. Despite the unprepossessing street that it is on, you go through some gates into a large secluded courtyard filled with bouganvillea. Given it's proximity (5 minutes walk to the Monkey Temple), it is a perfect location and welcome respite from the... More
