We had a wonderful stay at Rajputana paying guest house. Honestly what made the stay was Preeti, the manager and owner, and her wonderful parents. After a very frustrating experience in Agra, we came to Jaipur convinced that finding accomodations in Rajasthan would be impossible to do without a good number of cab drivers trying to take us to hotels with the best commision, or booking rooms in advance to be surprised with a completely different room when we arrived. On our first day at Preeti's guest house, she took our list of cities we wanted to visit, made some great suggestions for other cities we might enjoy, and gave us a great idea of how much time we would need in each place. She then found a stack of business cards for us of guest houses similar to her own that she recommended. Not only did she give us the suggestions, she called up each guest house, booked the nights for us, and then arranged our transportation for our whole time in Rajasthan. She did this all in a matter of minutes too-- she clearly has a lot of experience and connections. Our stay at the guest house was filled with delicious home cooked meals and great sight seeing (the guest house is in a great location-- far enough to avoid the sound of old city, but close enough to access it by a very quick auto ride). As for the rest of our tie in Rajasthan, Preeti really planned us the perfect trip-- every guest house we stayed in was wonderful (having wifi and hot water, our two requests, and staying within our 500-600 rupee budget) and the driver she set us up with was the nicest man, who was totally flexible with our schedule and was also an excellent tour guide in each city we visited. A stay a Rajputana guest house is a must, and if you arrive in Jaipur unsure of what your plans are in Rajasthan, talk to Preeti, she's the best!
