The rooms are clean and have a geyser so always hot water available. The breakfast is also very nice. The location of the guesthouse is quite good. especially for... More

It is 100% a case of mistaken identity. We are sure this reiew is meant for some other hostel. The guest has erronously put thi review on our hostel. we have taken up the case with the web site and the reviewer to recheck and remove this review from our hostel. More

We have been in the Explorer's nest two nights and we really recommend it. The owner is a gentleman, the rooms are nicely decorated and clean. It is walking distance from the Pink City in a safe area and it is also very good value.

We stayed for two nights at Explorer's Nest, and found it a wonderful base from which to explore the stunning city of Jaipur. Arvind arranged for someone to pick us up from the bus station, which worked out perfectly, and we had a warm welcome when arriving at Arvind's home. One of us had the single room on the roof...

Arvind made us immediatly very at ease. The place is really quiet and clean and in the same time closed to the main places. We were there at the end of our trip, and it was a real pleasure to sleep quietly without noises !!!!! The staff is nice and friendly. We look forward to go back there

I sent an email inquiring about a room to stay with my family and received no reply. Time was running out and we were leaving the next day to Jaipur, so we called to check personally. This was the response: "We have no rooms and we don't accept children!" and with this they ended the short and quite rude conversation.... More
