This four story residence of a former ruling family, now functioning as a character hotel, is centrally located in a quiet residential street and close to the pink city. Our room on the ground floor was furnished with beautiful traditional Indian style furnishings, including twin beds with firm, comfortable mattresses, writing desk, carved overstuffed chair, A/C and ceiling fan, and marble floors. The rather basic bathroom with a shower, no tub, with minimal toiletries, no Kleenex or hair dryer, was spotlessly clean and well lit, as was the room, and all equipment was in working order. Wooden shutters in place of glass windows, which when closed to run the A/C or for privacy, made the room rather dark.

Breakfast was served buffet style in a tranquil little garden, with a minimal choices but sufficient to get one's eyes open. We did not use the restaurant learning in the afternoon upon coming back after a day of sightseeing that a refreshing beer was not available on the premises. A metered toktok taxi took us to The Park Plaza hotel for excellent evening dinners.

The building is beautifully decorated on the outside, and inside rooms and suites convey the life of a bygone era. Admiring the family heirlooms and family pictures in the library led to a chance meeting with the owner, the son of the widowed queen who lives on the top floor. A marble swimming pool was a treat after a day out in 35-40 degree heat. The staff was ever helpful and accommodating. A tip jar at the front desk eliminated the scrambling for tip money at every turn.

All considered, the Madhuban offers and Indian Experience for budget minded travelers,

Both myself and my wife stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of October and I can honestly say, it was one of the best hotels I stayed in, during my 3 weeks in India.

The location is great in a quite suburb of Jaipur, but yet very central.

The rooms are large, clean, bright and with all the trimmings, (TV, fridge, air con etc.)

The service is second to none, without being intrusive. The staff are friendly and full of local knowledge and advice.

We only had breakfast in the hotel, which was very good and can be had in either the restaurant or the magnificently kept gardens.

Facilities are also very good; internet, safe, swimming pool and lovely terraces and balconies to relax on in the evening.

Outside there are very reputable and good auto rickshaw drivers, (namely Ally, who we used for 3 days at a cost of 500 Ruppees per day and this included pick up from the restaurant at night).

One point to note is that the hotel does not serve alcahol, so if you want to relax with a beer in the evening on the terrraces - bring your own.

All in all a wonderful experience and highly recommended at a very reasonable price.

Excellent oasis away from the chaos. Clean and comfortable rooms with character. A very friendly staff and a pleasant breakfast experience.

I have read the negative reviews which seem to complain about how the Singh family doesn't gush over them when they are present at the property. What a silly complaint. If you want the owners of the hotel to be in your business 24 hours a day this is not your hotel - go somewhere else. I prefer to stay at a place where the rooms are nice and the service good and the owners leave you alone unless you need help. That's definitely the case here.

The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. We arrived at 10pm after our journey from New Delhi and the hotel had arranged a plate of biscuits and sandwiches for us and helped us order takeout for dinner as we were famished and the restaurant was closed. You can't get better than that, and after the hotels we stayed in previously, there was no better value for our money.

Our stay in the Madhuban was one of the best we had in India. This peaceful hotel in a quiet part of the city (but nonetheless a short rickshaw ride to some of the main sights) has a pleasant garden, lovely nocturnal-lit pool and spacious, airy rooms.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Out of all the hotels we booked online this one was by far the best for communication through email. We booked a super-deluxe room, but were given the suite for the same price as we had booked so far in advance. This room had spotless marble floors, a delightful 4-poster bet and good sized bathroom. The coving and detail on the walls throughout the hotel is exceptional and everthing is kept freshly painted and in tip-top condition.

We got free pick-up from the railway station. The auto-rickshaw driver who picked us up ended up being our guide for 3 full days and I HIGHLY recommend this. We didn't have to constantly check guide books and we felt we really had seen the best of the city, with almost no effort at all. His name was Mohammad and I'm sure if you choose this hotel they can put you in touch with him.
