Raghunath Haveli - A Boutique Homestay

I traveled alone to Jaipur and thought I might feel a bit lonely, but staying at Raghunath Haveli - A Boutique Homestay was a perfect decision as it is an incredibly warm and welcoming place. The family running the hotel greeted me with such kindness that I felt like part of their family from the very first moment! The owner, Madho, is a delightful person, always willing to engage in interesting conversations. I enjoyed watching him in the mornings on the terrace, soaking up the sun and meditating, which created a peaceful and serene atmosphere. His wife, Alka, is extremely sweet and welcoming, and their grown up son Mohit went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. He even gave me a ride and purchased my train ticket for my next destination in India, which greatly eased my travel plans. The family’s generosity didn’t stop there—they patiently accompanied me to buy a new suitcase and later took me to try a delicious rose ice cream—an unforgettable experience! When I asked for a hairdryer and they didn’t have one available, they went out of their way to get one the same day for my convenience. I was truly grateful. Breakfast was simple but always prepared with care, asking what I would like to eat and serving it with affection. The room was cozy and well-equipped. The entire building has been beautifully renovated while preserving the charm of the local architecture. They have a lift which is very convenient. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to major attractions. Even the two young men responsible for the maintenance of the place and the lady who assists in the kitchen are amazing people. May God always bless them! I I can't put into words how special this stay was. Honestly, I enjoyed the hotel and the wonderful people I met there EVEN MORE than the city of Jaipur itself! Without a doubt, I would love to return to Raghunath Haveli. It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience!

A genuine and luxurious homestay experience. The family and staff who own and operate the homestay are super friendly, kind, helpful and social. The interior of the building is a traditional near palace-type experience. The inner courtyard is beautiful, quiet and peaceful (and cool!). It’s located in a great area for access to tourist sites and is a quiet oasis once you’re inside. I fear that booking a room in the future might receive ‘sold out’ for many dates as this gem becomes more known.

The place felt like home for the nights that we stayed there. The courtyard was quiet and clean, a good hideaway from the bustling outside. Our room was spacious with decent air-conditioning and the beds were extremely comfortable. We had some water pressure issues but they were quickly addressed. The owner and his family are very hospitable and prepare excellent (vegetarian) breakfast and dinner--including home-made chapati.

The host is a very warm and welcoming person, also the sons ensure a lovely homestay. It’s literally a gem in this neighborhood, such a beautiful and well maintained architecture. The rooms are nice, the breakfast is very good. They are always offering help and hospitality. I highly recommend this place and when I come back to Jaipur I will book this Homestay again. Don’t miss out on this experience.

We are a family of 4 (traveling with 15 and 17 year old girls). We stayed at this lovely Haveli for three nights in February 2025. We loved everything about our experience. The rooms are well restored and clean. The property is in a great location, within walking distance from most attractions such as the city palace and markets. The family running this Haveli are genuinely kind souls who did everything to make us feel welcome - and our stay memorable. This included cooking class one night as they prepared dinner, a Jaipur walking tour to hidden spots including the spice market, the artisan quarters and an unexpected monkey adventure. A henna artist came in one night, and we had two dinners which were both wonderful. Yoga mats were provided for sunrise yoga on the rooftop. Madho loves his home city and shares that with guests. Alka made the best parathas for breakfast and is one of the most generous people I’ve ever met. Their sons are also very helpful and involved in running the Haveli. This was the highlight of our trip - we feel we were made to feel part of the family during our stay. Thank you!!!
