"The hotel is located in Civil Lines, a posh locality of Jaipur and approximately a kilometre away from the railway station. The hotel is situated in the vicinity of the residence of the chief minister of Rajasthan. The whole area is very peaceful, very clean and very green. The security in and around the hotel is good. When you enter Hotel Hari Mahal, you get the feel of entering a big but old house and not a hotel. Throughout the stay you feel the same. As per the reccommendation of MakeMyTrip we had taken a Royal Suite. The room was so big that it could have accommodated several families in it. I felt that the air conditioning as per the size of the room was inadequate. Our stay as a whole at Hari Mahal was comfortable. The food quality is good. It is value for money, especially after the discounted price offered by MakeMyTrip. My only reccommendation to the hotel would be to procure a license to server liquor. "

"It should be centrally air conditioned. The toilets do not have soap dishes placed near to shower or anything made to suit the need. The food hall next to the park had flies in it and the breakfast could be improved. However, the staff were friendly and extremely helpful and the room with its four poster bed was tastefully done up."
