A bit hard to find, but the owner offers a free pickup from the bus station, so not an issue.

Very friendly owner. He recommended us a tuktuk for 1 day to see the activities slightly outside of the city. Close to the bus station, walking distance. Good price quality.

Bathroom needs a revamp but I believe there are already plans in place for this :)

Bana was simply amazing and was always on hand to assist with any questions / advice on where to go in Jaipur. We even went to the market with him & he haggled down the price of some trousers for us. He planned the Holi event and everyone had the most wonderful time. His family were incredibly welcoming & the breakfast at the hostel is delicious and cheap. There were fitness weights and a garden space to workout. The room we stayed in had a large window and was light and airy. This hostel is exactly what you pay for + we highly recommend. Thank you for having us :)

Comfy room with the nicest family in a calm area not far from the metro. Would definitely come back :)

Loved the atmosphere, the staff were friendly and made the stay. Loved the solo traveller vibes with the social atmosphere in the living area downstairs

Jwala Niketan felt like a home during my stay in Jaipur :) the location is perfect to get away from the craziness of the streets of Jaipur but is at the same time only a short Tuk Tuk ride away from the main attractions. Also there are nice rooftop bars right around the corner where one can enjoy some great food and cold beers in the evening!

Felt very comfortable as a female solo traveller. The owner is incredibly kind. Property is very clean and bed is comfy.

The bathroom could’ve been a bit cleaner and sometimes struggled for hot water but not an issue at all.

Bana the host is the kindest and most caring soul and will do anything to ensure you have a comfortable stay. I was sick and he went above and beyond to care for me. He will help you with anything you might need and made my stay in Jaipur. There is a lovely community/family feel to the homestay, eating breakfast with the other guests and chatting with the family. Such a gorgeous comfortable place to stay and cant recommend it enough!

Bana, the owner, made us feel very welcome and at home at Jwala Niketan. He offered us guided tours and a choice of rooms! Very thoughtful, smart and kind. Delicious food! We arrived needing a rest & wished we could have extended our stay. He introduced us to our kind and efficient Tuk Tuk driver, Shebaz, who took us in a magical 10 hour tour of Jaipur! Highly recommend Bana's hotel. And his driver contact, Shebaz, for good energy & enthusiasm. Thank you!

Very nice stay in the guesthouse. The hall being small thus cosy, we have met some people there and it was lovely. The family of owners is really lovely too !

Amazing location—close to bars and restaurants yet very quiet at the same time. Bana was a great host; he picked us up from the bus station and let us check in early since we arrived on the night bus. We had a small mishap—another guest accidentally picked up our clothes from the laundry and left for Delhi. However, Bana really came through for us, contacting the guest and arranging everything so that our clothes were delivered to Agra a few days later.

Lovely friendly staff. Good food at reasonable prices, and a great central location

I think perhaps some glasses, an electric jug and cups in your room would be great.

Bana and his team were amazing hosts. The room was big and spacious and the balcony was a welcomed bonus. Breakfast had a lot of choices and was great value for money. Nothing was to far away with the metro a few minutes walk. Bana was always there with a solution to any questions and his walking tour was well worth doing. Kia Ora my friend

All good for the price.

Helpful staff, free translation service courtesy of Bana when your booking something else. Nearby mall helpful for Airtel sim and early morning coffee. Walking distance to metro etc. Even free weights in the garden if you're missing the gym;)

Bana is the best host you could ask for. He is so helpful and friendly and creates such a lovely atmosphere for all his guests. His family are so kind and helpful. The guesthouse is in a nice quiet location but easy to get to the main sights via tuk tuk or metro. The rooms are really spacious - we loved the direct access to the sunny terrace from our room. Beds are super comfy too. We absolutely loved our stay here and decided to stay longer!

My room had a a door to the main balcony but no windows (no natural light), different from the photos but it wasn’t really a problem

The property is in good condition, has a home feeling as it’s run by a family. The breakfast was delicious and Bana the manager is very helpful with information about activities and transportation.

Bana is a great host he makes you feel really welcome. I really recommend the walking food tour you get to experience food you may not try by yourself. The food at the hotel is really nice too! And the location is really convenient. Overall a really good place to stay ✨

Nothing in particular.

The Jwala Niketan is an exceptional hotel situated a short walk from the centre of the city, the metro and the Old Town. Banna, his mother and sister, are very welcoming and as a guest you are treated as a member of the family. Banna was very helpful and informative and arranged a tour of the town and visits to nearby places of interest. Jaipur is a fascinating city with much to see, and it was also a bonus to meet and talk with other guests who stay at the hotel regularly. There is a washing/ironing service available and it was good to be able to have dinner at the hotel in the evening. I would definitely stay there again.

Bana is absolutely the best person ever!! He is friendly, funny and always ready to give you the best tips about India! The place is very simple but there is all you need, plus the food was so good! I couldn’t recommend this place enough! Thank you Bana I hope you all the best and see you next time 💚

Great value for money, bed was comfortable, breakfast was very good and staff were very helpful. Location is good, a quieter road than lots of other places.

It's not something that we didn't like so to speak but we did have trouble with the plumbing of our toilet when we first arrived but Bana got straight onto it and when the plumber couldn't come because it was a Sunday, he did it himself. He is also in the process of redoing bathrooms and giving the place a little make-over!!

Bana was the most amazing host for our stay in Jaipur. He is so knowledgeable not only about Jaipur but also surrounding cities and destinations. He was even able to help us out when another company cancelled our car transfer from Pushkar to Delhi at very short notice and over the Christmas- new year period. He organized a new driver and helped us get the payment to the new driver without any hassles. He then also checked after the journey to make sure we had arrived safely back in Delhi. The beds are also super comfy and the property has a fantastic view from the rooftop. I one day hope to return to Jaipur and will definitely being staying at Bana's place again!!!!

The rooms are old-fashioned and very simple, but the hotel has a fantastic and warm-hearted owner who makes up for all the minor imperfections. We truly felt at home during our stay here. At the end of December, we noticed it was quite cold, but we were given an extra blanket. There was hot water, towels, and soap available. Overall, it was a very good experience. Thank you!
