We stayed 4 nights at the Samode Haveli for the Jaipur International Writer's Festival.The Samode was a devine and a most beautiful retreat to come 'home' to after the busy traffic and exciting festival. I just loved the beautiful gardens, courtyard with fountains and birds singing, trees festooned with paper kites which sailed up and inside from children playing outside... More

We stayed 4 days in this wonderful haveli in Old Jaipur. Very well maintained with the owners living on the property. Charming well appointed rooms. The service and food were very good, and the dining room and public spaces warm and welcoming. More

We booked the hotel for a stay of three nights including the New Year celebration. The hotel has no spectacular driveway or image from outside, but once inside it is simply very very perfect nice. We enjoyed the hotel extremely much, as it is a calm and quite and lovely place in a city, which is burstling and full of... More

We spent 1 night here and so take my review with that in mind. We arrived super early at 6am. Check in is usually at noon or later but they kindly let us have our beautiful suite at the new wing at the back of the property close to the pool. Perhaps because we checked in so early there was... More

The haveli is a heritage building with courtyards, narrow passages and water features. The staff were great. The breakfast/dining room is sumptuous and the food is excellent. The thali is superb and includes 12 dishes (I think). The pool area is a relaxing space. We walked outside and promptly got lost - the locals were friendly and showed us the... More

Whilst comfortablke enough it really is a little decayed and expensive for the cost. One tip - when entering some rooms in the quadrangle, beware of headroom - I and my son both cracked our heads badly on the frame of the door. Really painful. Food was good, except breakfast, and service good More

We enjoyed two nights at Samode Haveli, as part of our 3-week Indian honeymoon in Dec 2010. Our room was on the ground floor of the property, at the back of the property, near to the pool. The room was beautiful with so much space. The staff were wonderful and very attentive. We enjoyed a feast of a dinner in... More

This is the 3rd time I have stayed at the Samode Haveli. It is a beautiful and peaceful place, with a gorgeous pool area and lovely public spaces. We were initially given the Sheesh Mahal - the maharajahs bedroom, which was jaw droppingly gorgeous. However, returning to our room late in the afternoon we could hear hammering and drilling which... More

This beautiful property is tucked away on a nondescript street, but delightful surprises wait for the discerning traveller. The reception staff facilitated a relaxed but professional service and we were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to suites, which were beautiful with divine beds and huge bathrooms with great showers and bathtubs. Staff members were courteous and obliging from the ones... More
