Jaipur The Lodge B&B

The outside of the building is deceiving, but the Lodge is a B&B with a hotel like-feel. It's a great stay for tourists as the location gets you quickly to many attractions and there are several places nearby. The rooms and balcony/restaurant area are a highlight. The room was exactly as the picture, spacious and with great furniture. The bathroom was clean and came with all the amenities (towel, toilet paper, soap, shampoo & conditioner). The room was also pretty sound proof to the noise outside and between the rooms/rooftop. The upstairs area is good to hang out, get some work in and socialize with the owner and other guests. The plants on the balcony are the perfect touch and break from the bustle of they city below. They also provide laundry services but can be inconsistent of when they return it. I would advise to use it if you have at least 2 days before check out. The breakfast and dinner were healthy and delicious, it is an additional charge. Overall it was a good stay and worth the value!

The property only accepts cash payments which can be very inconvenient. They tally up everything at the end such as using the laundry service, or price of meals so keep track of how much you're spending. My first day, the staff came to my door in the middle of the day with a man to check the bathroom. It was a weird and awkward experience and wish I had been given the heads up. If I wasn't there at the time, I wonder if they would have just entered the room without me knowing. Twice I was told my laundry would be done at a certain time and date and it wasn't. I'm glad it wasn't the day I checked out or that would have been stressful. Honesty is the best policy.

The view the company and the good breakfast

It is located in pink city, which is walkable to some of the tourists spots and close to the bazaar

It was overall great

The location was okay. The rooms initially look very nice. Not the worst cleanliness given the price.

The rooms were to a poor standard after the initial impression. Finish was poor and cleanliness could be improved: lots of hairs in the bathroom and crumbs and a few hair in the bed plus the towels were very stained. The photos are also definitely misleading. Also, we were unequivocally told at check in breakfast was at 8 and by 8:25 when we had to leave there was absolutely no sign of a breakfast. We assume it is not actually provided. No hot water but this seems to be the norm.
