My first brush with this homestay was not a pleasant one. I had called up to ask how far it was from the railway station. The person who picked up was very annoyed and disconnected the phone after telling me not to bother him as he didn't have time. Funny thing is, I never got to know whom I had spoken to as all those I met at the homestay itself were quite friendly and helpful, be it the owner Mrs Joshi or her staff. This is a very old (they claim 500 years old) haveli that has been tastefully turned into a homestay. All the rooms are unique with vintage decorations and furniture which add character. Before you ask, the bathrooms are modern with most amenities available! The rooftop restaurant gives a good view of the Mehrangarh fort while you enjoy your food. However, the stairs are very steep and since there is no lift, it's better to avoid this property if you have problems in your knees. Mind that the streets outside are really narrow (as it is located in the old city) and you cannot take a car there. The only way to get to it is by auto or on foot. But staying in the old city has its own joys, especially of the gastronomical nature! Jodhpur's famous Chaturbhuj Rameshchandra, which makes the most delicious Gulab Jamuns, and Moolji Sweets, known for its snacks and jalebis, are less than 500 metres away. You can shop till you drop for sarees in the close vicinity of the hotel and there are quite a few reasonably priced handicrafts shops also. In fact, once you shop here, the touristy market at Ghanta Ghar seems overpriced. You can walk to the Mehrangarh Fort in about 20 minutes from the hotel. Though some may consider it a bit overpriced, Juna Mahal is an amazing place to stay if you wish to experience the old Jodhpur.
