Our family stayed here for two nights. Briefly, it was difficult. Since there is no hotel sign and the streets/alleys extremely narrow and unnamed, our driver and we had a hard time locating the place. Stopping people along the way to ask didn't bring much help. When we did find it, our reception was odd. Phil, the owner, emphasized that... More

We (4 women friends)stayed here for 3 nights and would have moved in if this would be possible. In the middle of the old town we found this lovely oasis. We chose to stay here because of reviews on Tripadvisor, and we were not disappointed! Phil, the owner and staff couldn't have been more welcoming. We also decided to have... More

We stayed here for a week and had a great time. I was travelling with a friend and we had a room each in our own part of the Haveli which was great. The courtyard garden was a real bonus after the hustle and bustle just outside the door. The manager Phil, is a fountain of information both about things... More

We arrived in Jodhpur by train, met by Phil and it was magical to get out of the Tuktuk, walk up the lanes and then find the peace and civilisation of the Bristow Haveli. Phil was excellent at guiding us around the city and environs which meant that we really enjoyed ourselves and came to no harm despite being relatively... More

This is the perfect place to stay in Jodhpur for an authentic experience in the ancient city of Jodhpur. Look no further if you want great location, fantastical architecture, an endless supply of what's needed for a fuel up breakfast and the gentle and accommodating Mr. Phil. His heart and soul was put into a multi year restoration stone by... More

Location: The Haveli is in a quite lane, right in the middle of the old city of Jodhpur, 15 minutes walk from the Mehrangadh Fort. When you arrive there for the first time, make sure you get picked up by someone from their staff at a place called "Manak Chowk". There are no name boards and hence finding the place... More

We stayed for 3 nights in December 2012, reserved 4 months in advance via email. This place was full during our stay and as we left as well. There is no sign leading to Bristow's and even the Lonely Planet map is confusing. Best to keep Bristow's number ready and arrange pick up once in Manak Chowk, especially if arriving... More

We've been picked up for free at Jodhpur airport by Phil Porter, owner of Bristow's Haveli who came by tuk tuk and took us in his beautifully restored Haveli located in a very quiet side street near Manak Chowk (the old town) and the noisy Sardar Market bazaars. Bristow's is a rare gem and we had at our disposal a... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bristows Haveli. Everything is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. We also really liked the location, an easy walk to the clock tower and market. The staff were friendly and helpful, and they prepared an excellent dinner for us one night. The only (minor) negative was that the owner seemed a bit cranky during several... More

We stayed at Bristow's over the New Year period (26th - 28th Dec 2012). It provides a unique experience with 'old world charm' and a homely atmosphere. If you are looking to get a traditional experience of the 'blue city' then this is a super base - as you are bang in the middle of it. The coffee is just... More
