We were looking for a quiet family homestay and found the perfect place at Madan Mohan Villas.
There are currently 5 rooms to rent. They are set around the courtyard of the family Havelli. It is only a few minutes walk to the Royal Palace and Jagdish Temple. It is set down a quiet side street, so away from all the traffic madness surrounding the main palace area.
The rooms all have new bathrooms with hot water, new AC and quiet fans. The Havelli has been beautifully restored with lovely decoration inside and outside the rooms.
The top floor has tables and chairs, with a view over the city. There are also seating areas within the courtyard.
Pradeep and his family were most welcoming. I don't think we have had a better host during our three weeks around Rajasthan. He replied promptly to my enquiries and was so helpful with planning trips and onward travel.
Nothing was too much trouble, and we started each morning with a complementary chai. Breakfast is available if needed for a small cost.
Take a look at his talented young daughters paintings. I persuaded her to let me purchase one, so I will have a permanent memory of our stay at Madan Mohan.
All in all you get a lovely room, in a great area close to the tourist sights, for a very reasonable price, with the added benefit of being hosted by a family.
