The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur

Truly magical experience, from the arrival and the beatiful garden with the peacocks, can’t ask for a better setting.

We had been on a tour of the Golden Triangle a few months ago and loved it so much but felt we hadn't had enough time in Jaipur and so returned last minute for six days over Easter and booked the Oberoi Rajvilas so we could both relax and enjoy the facilities and sunshine but also use as a base to visit the city itself. It was totally perfect! The hotel is stunning - the grounds and pool are beautiful with stunning peacocks wandering around. The restaurant and food it amazing and it's a wonderful calm and peaceful contrast to the fun and chaos of Jaipur city itself (which we did still up visiting most days!) What makes it stand out even more is the incredible service and the loveliest, kindest staff ever! Nothing was too much trouble but they also went out of their way to notice what the guests were enjoying and tailor meals, experiences, little touches etc. around those. Particular mention to chef Krishdeep who was so kind and loved his food and ingredients so much and created some really special dishes for us based on what we had loved the previous day... (he also kindly gave us his secret receipe/ingredients for the most sublime tomato soup we have ever had!!) Sandeep and Dev in the restaurant were just the best!!! So so lovely - we would come back to the hotel just to be served by them again - they were so happy and enthusastic and always went out of their way to think of things we might like that we might not think of ourselves - we were totally spoilt by them! I loved the amazing lac bangle man (Ehateran sp?) who visits each evening - he made me some stunning lac bangles and sitting there watching him work surrounded by cheeky peacocks and the sun setting was a really special experience! Also thank you as well to the incredibly kind and sweet Sneha who helped me on our very last day track down the suppliers of the lovely marble bulls in each of the rooms and around the hotel and somehow within a few hours had managed to source me my very own bull to bring back with me to the UK and helped with getting me to ATMs and packing it etc. - she was so very kind!

Incredible property in every way from meticulously kept grounds, the resident peacocks, well appointed rooms and excellent meals. The hotel associates truly show their appreciation and go out of their way to make your stay memorable

We have been home for a week. Back to work and stress, but we have wonderful memories to keep us going. The place is beautiful, the peacocks add to the sence of tranquility. The cleaners and grounds keepers endure things are kept immaculate. You are treated like royalty. Nothing is too much trouble. My Mum chose india for her 80th birthday adventure. She is coeliac but loves cakes and was totally spoiled my the pastry chefs, ensuring she had warm muffins and fresh bread every day and a lovely afternoon tea. I cannot thank all the staff enough but would like to say a special thanks to Sohan, the assistant manager, who really looked after us. And also our lovely waiters Sameer, Suraj and Samdeep. We hope to come again one day.

In every sense an amazing hotel. From the moment you arrive the whole team at the hotel make you feel as though you are royalty. Quite superb. Food, service, ambience, rooms, cleaning, laundry, gardens, pool, spa - all of these things were 10/10. I have travelled widely, all over the world, and nowhere beats this. Adding to all the above is the fact that Jaipur has a lot to offer the visitor. I must add, though, that the most amazing element was the standard of service consistently received from whoever was giving it - general manager, cleaning team, restaurant waiter/ waitress etc... Quite phenomenal. No one could do enough it seemed. Very humbling. Thank you for making my holiday a superb one
