Guest Tips

Considering the very mixed reviews of this hotel, an important tip would be to manage your expectations from it and be more reactive upon arrival. When you check in, don't hesitate to ask to be shown the room before bringing your luggage all the way up. Just make sure firstly that the air conditioning is working, the lights are working, check the bathroom fixtures are all in order, and see if the cleanliness level is up to your standards. If you are unhappy, as soon as possible ask for a different room. It’s a simple step that can make a huge difference in your experience.

This is a very smart way to enjoy your stay; use the hotel just as a convenient and inexpensive place to sleep, spending most of your time and money on enjoying the city. One of the best assets of the hotel is its fine position near the train station. This is just so convenient to be used as the launching pad for day trips, such as catching an early morning train to Ajmer City to visit the famous Dargah Sharif shrine.

Dine out from real highly acclaimed restaurants at Bani Park. Advice is to take an auto-rickshaw to Handi Restaurant on M.I. Road – it’s very well known for its Rajasthani and North Indian food, especially the ‘laal maas’. For A More Casual And Modern Feel: Visit The Fashionable Cafes In C-Scheme.

To get a hang of the local culture, one must visit the crowded bazaars in the Pink City. The best way remains hiring an auto-rickshaw for a few hours for a personalized “bazaar tour.” Just tell your driver to go through Johri Bazaar (for jewelry), Bapu Bazaar (for textiles and leather goods and Chandpole Bazaar (for handicrafts and marble carvings) and you are ready to have a great ‘bazaar tour’. It’s also a great way to experience the bustle in the heart of the city and maybe grab some beautiful authentic souvenirs while you are at it.
