An oasis in the historic walled city of Jaipur, Samode Haveli is a traditional Indian mansion set in a glorious garden with apartments arranged around a series of courtyards. Built 175 years ago as a residence of the rulers of Samode, it is still occupied by their descendants, who have converted their home into a luxury hotel. Bedrooms are hidden all about the rambling building and are astonishingly decorative, covered in twinkling mirror work, with ornate paintings, tiny alcoves and soaring arches. Rooms have large beds and most have private terraces. The restaurant features a spectacular hand-painted dining hall which provides a special setting for dinner, and offers a choice of Indian food or delicious Asian and European meals. Guests can also take advantage of the hotel's spa, with sauna and steam room facilities, and a range of luxurious massage therapies offered by expert professionals.

The Samode Haveli is the most beautiful hotel, and the staff are fantastic. I was given a very warm welcome (and a G&T) in the magnificent reception room, and shown to my room, which was fabulous - large, airy, huge bathroom. I discovered the rooftop bar (open for a short period in the evening - well worth the wander through the slightly confusing web of corridors to find it!). The evening food in the restaurant was superb, and the two musicians played soft Indian music throughout the night. I also needed to see a doctor during my stay, and the reception staff were really efficient in calling him, and he prescribed medication there and then. I’d like to give a mention to front of house Simran, who was especially helpful, and kept checking that I was ok. I cannot recommend this hotel strongly enough for a stay in Jaipur - for solo travelers, couples and families.

Wonderful experience. Staying at an actual castle/haveli gives a nice insight into the royal lifestyle of ancient India. Friendly staff. Extremely clean facilities. Breakfast buffet was a good blend of south and North Indian food. Of course you have your choice of western food

The Samode Haveli is a charming, characterful hotel. It is in an old building so there are lots of steps everywhere, but this is part of it character. We particularly liked the courtyard gardens, and the restaurant was delightful. We also appreciated the on-site shops, especially Deepika Arts - Praveen Kumar is a very accomplished artist.

We had a wonderful stay at Samode Haveli. We came as a multi generation family - with parents and our children and the hotel were really accommodating. The rooms were beautiful, the restaurant made delicious food and the staff were very friendly and chatted to us to explain the history of the haveli. The bar was amazing! The swimming pool was fantastic and the hot tub also really good. Our children loved it! The flute player in the restaurant was incredible and played songs on request which was a delight! Thank you Samode Haveli for looking after us and making our stay in Jaipur so memorable!

We spent two days at the wonderful Hotel Samode Haveli in Jaipur. A real treasure in Rajasthan. The large hall you are led into at the beginning is impressive and sets the tone for this special hotel. The restaurant terrace is also particularly beautiful, where you can enjoy a very refined meal. Excellent food and very friendly and dedicated staff. The only downside is that the Black Tower Riesling on the drinks menu is probably the worst Riesling from Germany – there is room for improvement here. In any case, we all agree that this was the most beautiful hotel on our trip to Rajasthan, where we would love to just spend time.
