Ours is a heritage homestay located close to the city centre. It is a colonial mansion built in the 1940s with green lawns surrounding the building. It is ideal for guests who are looking for a place with clean, beautiful rooms(some have attached balconies to lounge and read) and home cooked food. The rooms have marble flooring and a few have large french windows to usher in the sunlight and a view of the lawns.

Detailed Reviews
My first visit to Jaipur on my own, I wanted a safe and comfortable, non fussy place to stay, well located, clean, and close to main attractions. I got all this and more at Barwara Kothi. Deepali the owner is herself warm and very welcoming, prompt on email/whatsapp. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious. Bathrooms have extra space for paraphernalia. Ground floor rooms open up onto a pretty garden where you can spend a relaxing evening over a cup of tea or snack. Breakfast is wholesome and ample...Indian breads, poha, meusli, juice, cut fruit, etc. Lunch and dinner can also be had if Deepali is intimated in time. Staff is very courteous and eager to please. Dont hesitate to ask for Mr.Babbu if you want a reliable car service ..Deepali has the number. Definitely my first choice going forward.

I stayed at this homestay as they call it in india. Compared to the noise and tumult of any indian city, this is a haven of quiet and calm. There is a garden providing greenery, flowers and a fountain, many lovely works of art, lovely indian food for breakfast and lunch and the opportunity to meet interesting people from all over the world who seem to come back time after time.

We stayed at Barwara Kothi for two nights on our last visit to Jaipur. This is a well maintained, clean and quiet home stay. The rooms are large and comfortable. The bathrooms are very clean .The breakfast is sumptuous and healthy. The service is really good. The house has a majestic feel. It has a very nice garden and is well located. Deepali really took personal care to see that we were comfortable and made us feel ‘at home’. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good, clean, economical, peaceful home stay in a chaotic city like Jaipur!

This handsome heritage home is located in one of the toniest neighborhoods in Jaipur. The house itself is gorgeous, filled with old family photos and antique furniture. The front lawn is well-manicured, with staff sweeping up the fallen leaves every morning.
Our room was located on the ground floor, off the side of the house. We recommend it, as it had its own entrance, plus a private sitting room and bathroom. It was nicely appointed and very clean. Multiple fans kept everything cool, although it was also equipped with an A/C. The shower stays hot, but the stream is hard to control (wet bathroom floors, however, are typical in India). We were grateful for the in-room tea-making facilities, electronic safe, and ample storage space. WiFi worked fine in the room, but it was a little slow in the evenings (8-11pm). I can also recommend the laundry service: The turnaround was quick and everything came back in perfect, immaculately pressed condition.
Other reviewers have made much ado about the noise, but this is India—if you can’t handle near-constant horn honking, you probably shouldn’t be here. Yes, you can hear the trains leaning on their horns as they pull in and out of the nearby station. But the far greater annoyance for us was the neighbor’s dog barking its fool head off for hours on end. Bring earplugs.
FWIW, the owner checked in with us daily to make sure everything was going okay, which was a nice gesture. I would’ve rated Barwara higher, save for these key missteps:
—Upon arrival, it would have been nice to receive a quick tour of the grounds: "Here’s the sitting area, here’s where we take breakfast, here is the private part of the house that is closed off to guests," etc. Alas, we arrived around 7 p.m. and were directed straight to our room, then over to the office to do passport paperwork, and then back to our room. We weren’t even sure where to take breakfast the next morning. A brief walk around the property with the hostess would’ve made us feel more welcome.
—Considering how undrinkable India’s water is, I expect hotels and homestays alike to provide complimentary bottled water. Barwara provides guests with one 1-liter bottle; anything beyond that must be purchased. For two people staying four nights, one bottle isn’t even enough to brush your teeth.
—I’ve noticed a number of other reviewers here complaining about breakfast. It’s fine. A bit repetitive, sure, but this is a small operation. The yogurt and bread were both homemade and tasty. My bigger issue is that they offer French press coffee on request, but only have one small French press. This means that if more than one guest wants coffee at a time, they have to wait their turn to use the French press. Why not just invest in a second and/or larger French press that can serve more than one person?
—Sad to say, but we cannot recommend eating dinner here. The food itself is good but too expensive (650 Rs. per person) compared with the many decent meals we’ve eaten on the outside. The experience is also a bit uncomfortable, as the staff watches you while you eat. And yet, if you actually need or want something—like a drink, even water—you have to ask for it (sometimes twice). Then the second it seems like you may be finished eating, they rush to clear away all of the dishes. It’s very obvious the staff wants you to hurry the heck up and eat, so they can go home for the night. No lingering over coffee and dessert, no sir!
—The information packet in the room refers to a young man on staff as “the boy,” i.e. “give your laundry to the boy.” Perhaps this terminology is acceptable in caste-obsessed India, but it made these Western travelers feel rather uncomfortable. Surely “the boy” has a name, or at least a slightly more dignified title?
—When we went to settle the bill at the end, the credit card machine kept reading “invalid card.” We tried two separate cards, both of which are paid up and used all the time in our travels (including for online bookings later that same day). No dice. We had to pay the bill in cash, which of course is an inconvenience.
In summary: This place has good bones, and I believe the hostess means well; she wouldn’t check in with guests as often as she does if she didn’t care. I truly believe with a few small improvements, she could easily make Barwara Kothi a four- or even five-star property. Little things like bottled water and a credit card machine that work go a long way.

I absolutely loved this place. Even from before our trip Deepali was really friendly and helpful. Our room was lovely and our friends was too, with a traditional Indian feel and very luxurious. The staff cleaned every day and changed the linen, nothing was too much trouble. We had home cooked vegetarian food every night , although there was no pressure to eat there. I loved the food and the chef came to see us to ask if everything was too our taste, and it was.
The Hotel is in a central location and I would definitely stay here again, a real gem.

Barwara Kothi is an excellent place to stay. It offers a historical perspective, excellent accommodation, great breakfast (other meals optional), helpful and accommodating staff, and easy access to restaurants and historical sites. My daughter and I spent 3 days at this beautiful guest house and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Many thanks Deepali for your kindness.

this was our second stay after almost 7years and things have improved!
i was surprised to find a rain shower in my bathroom.
Miss Deepali Singh Was a perfect host and her trained staff took care of all our needs.
Having tea in the sit out was lovely, and the Ambiance was old world charm!

We loved our recent stay at Barwara Kothi. It offers a comfortable and elegant respite from the bustle of Jaipur. A small, intimate family run business, the staff are excellent and all of our needs were promptly answered. Our room was spacious and very well appointed and our favourite aspect were the home cooked meals offered in an intimate dining room. This place is truly a find!

My husband and I stayed at this historical property for 3 nights in February and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Deepali made us feel very welcome and it was a pleasure to meet her and her family. We stayed in an elegant and beautifully decorated room on then first floor with a balcony overlooking the back of the property. The large bathroom was well equipped with a great shower and ample hot water. Breakfast included a good selection of healthy and delicious dishes and the home baked bread was a treat. There are several good, well priced restaurants nearby and of them, The Spice Court is highly recommended. We were sad to leave and wished we had booked for a longer stay.

We stayed at this wonderful homestay for one night on our Golden Triangle Tour. Not only were we impressed, our driver went out of his way to get leafletes so he could use the place for future clients.
Where do I start, it was such a wonderful experience! We arrived late afternoon and were shown to our room by the staff member, he did not ask for our reservation or any confirmation, he told us the owner would be along later and would deal with it, he just made us feel welcome and at home.
The room was large and airy, and had all you could want, a large en-suite, a/c, telvision, fridge, balcony,marble floors. Oh! and a wi-fi second to none. The gardens were large and well kept, we felt a little like the aristocracy.
We asked to have dinner that evening and we were asked when we would like it! We went across the road to the Spice Garden Bar and Restraunt and had a few beers in very pleasant surroundings and wondered if we should have in fact ate there, we were glad we didn't.
When we went to dinner at the homestay, we found ourselves to be the only guests. The three course (buffet) dinner was out of this world, freshly cooked and tastey. We were introduced to the cook and later on in the evening the owner dropped in to see if everything was good, it was perfect. The cost 500rp each (about $10US).
Breakfast was also wonderful, all buffet, with cereals, fruit juice, fruit, omlets and Indian food.
The home was a beautifully presented building with artifacts, comfort and history, a truely memorable experience. The staff so friendly and attentive and the owner so rightly proud of her business!
If you are ever in Jaipur you cannot go past this, the price was approx $70US, worth a lot more. Our only regret, we didn't stay for longer. Thank you so much.
To top all of this off, the place was spotless.
