We stayed in Snehdeep from 18 to 21 Nov 2011.
Trip Plan - One of my friend who is going to be relocated to US within couple of months has planned this trip .I left all the travel arrangements to him and asked him to get a quiet decent hotel within our budget. He told me about this guest house 2 days before the trip .I looked at Trip advisor and found lot of good reviews but past experience with budget guest houses are not good so i was little bit apprehensive.Anyways i thought lets see .
Initially we had planned to leave at 4:00 in the morning to avoid day traffic on Delhi Jaipur highway but after some discussion ,it was decided that we should leave at 2:00 AM and reach jaipur before mad traffic comes out. But the problem is that ,we had already intimated Manoj (owner) about our 4:00 AM plan . Again we have called him in middle of night (at 12:30 AM i guess) and hoping that he would be agree to give us room before normal check in time . I was surprised when he picked up the phone at such odd time and said that you are welcome as the family room is empty and you can check in anytime after 6:00 AM .This gesture is not as usual shown by business minded hotels .When we reached there at 8:00 ,Manoj was there to welcome us .we stayed at first floor and booked Family room which is big enough for 5 people .Room was pretty clean and nicely decorated. Washroom was small but clean .
When we discussed what places to visit in Jaipur ,he prepared our 3 day itinerary. He told us about food joints and famous markets . I found him a very knowledgeable person who loves to share his knowledge with guests . Food was really good and homely not like typical restaurant types. Do not forget to visit terrace of snehdeep ,where you can sit and enjoy quiet view of mountains around Jaipur. Also ask Manoj to join you if he is free. He is a really interesting person and gives you lot of information about jaipur and rajasthan.Overall , i would recommend it to anyone who is looking for budget stay and want to spend good time in Jaipur .Next time i would be surely going to snehdeep only . Thanks to Manoj for all the hospitality and making our stay a memorable one .

This is a bungalow located in a quiet, residential area, with the extra rooms let out to guests. We were warmly welcomed by the owner, Manoj, and his family into their home. Our rooms, located on the second floor (which required us to climb up & down a bit), were clean, adequately furnished and reasonably priced. The staff is very friendly and courteous. They have converted their terrace into an open-air restaurant where a variety of scrumptious, home-cooked (by Mrs. Manoj) meals are served. Mr. Manoj even arranged for a taxi to collect us from the airport on account of our flight getting delayed. I'd definitely want to stay here again.

I stayed in Snehdeep in 2007 February for 2 days. Mr Manoj was very helpful. Being a first time traveller to Rajasthan with young children I was quite apprehensiv. However, after talking to Mr Manoj, we felt very relieved. He picked us from the Gurudwara bus stop , made us comfortable, arranged taxi and even arrnaged for our accomodation in a very decent hotel in Agra which is run by his friend. I found the food a bit expensive that time. Had problems with geyser but room boy arranged for hot water. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and I'd recommend to everyone-Thomas, Bangalore

I am just back from a 5-day trip to Jaipur to attend the annual Jaipur Literature Fest. Had great fun there and the stay was also pleasant because of my stay at the Snehdeep guest house. I found Snehdeep on the net and then looked it up on Tripadvisor. Although most of its reviews were good, I was slightly apprehensive because of just one negative review I read on this site - it's funny how we immediately factor in the negative to make a judgement.

However, my own stay there has been pleasant. Snehdeep is a family-run place. While the family stays in a separate unit on the ground floor, the guest rooms are on the floors above. I found my interaction with the owner, Manojji, helpful and non-intrusive. In fact, the whole family seemed really sweet. As a woman travelling on my own, it's important for me to stay at a place where I feel secure and comfortable. From my somewhat limited experience of solo traveling, I've found that budget hotels don't work many times - there's a big chance that I may stick out like a sore thumb amidst Indian families and business travellers. And the attitude of the hotel staff can also be a bit off - they usually don't know how to deal with an Indian woman travelling on her own. So, a place like Snehdeep makes great sense for me - it is run by open-minded people that are used to receiving guests from all over the world. In fact, I found that there is a Japanese woman doing her P.H.D. who has been staying at Snehdeep off and on - for months together - for the past many years.

One thing that I'd been worried about after reading the reviews was that Snehdeep's distance from the city centre might be quite large. But it didn't turn out to be so - although it's not bang in the middle of the citty, it's well-connected and I didn't find either the commuting or the actual distances any hassle.

This is a good place if you are travelling on your own or you want to stay with a local family and get an insight into how they live. Another plus is that Manojji is extremely knowledgeable about Rajasthan. In addition, he is a devoted conservationist and very well travelled. You can easily make this place a starting point for further travels in Rajasthan once you get an idea of what all is possible.

This is a great place for budget travellers and solo women travellers. Highly recommended!
