This beautiful hotel is a refreshing change from bland accommodations. The welcoming family and excellent staff make you feel right at home. I stayed in a deluxe room and wished I had opted for one with a balcony, but the peaceful location is just a 10-minute drive from the Pink City. The freshly cooked meals are outstanding, especially the substantial breakfasts, and I loved relaxing in the lovely reading room.

I had an amazing two-night stay at The Dileep Kothi last month. I stayed in the Executive Suite, and it was perfect - super comfy bed, a massive bathroom, and access to a lovely balcony.

This place is truly a hidden gem in Jaipur and definitely worth every penny!
