I recently stayed at Samode Haveli, Jaipur, and honestly, it was better than I expected in every way. From the moment I entered, it felt like stepping back into history while still enjoying all modern comforts.
Location & First Impressions:
Tucked inside the old city, the Haveli immediately gives you heritage and palace vibes, with intricate architecture, grand arches, and peaceful courtyards. It feels like you are in a hidden oasis in the middle of Jaipur.
Rooms:
The rooms are beautifully maintained, and each corner reminds you that you are staying in a palace. The decor, antique furniture, traditional artwork, and high ceilings made me feel like royalty while still being extremely comfortable. Every detail, from the brass fixtures to the carved wooden doors, was thoughtfully placed.
Food:
The food was another highlight. Whether it was breakfast by the courtyard, lunch by the pool, or dinner under the stars, every meal was delicious, with a mix of authentic Rajasthani flavours and international options. The service was warm, with the staff going out of their way to customise dishes to our taste.
Swimming Pool & Bar:
The pool area is beautiful, surrounded by bougainvillaea and heritage walls, making it a perfect spot to relax in Jaipur’s warmth. The pool bar had a good variety of drinks, and sipping coffee or a cocktail there was one of my favourite parts of the stay.
Ambience & Vibe:
Every corner of Samode Haveli feels like a photo spot, yet it doesn’t feel commercial or crowded. It is peaceful, with birds chirping in the morning and soft lighting in the evening, keeping the royal aura intact.
