350-year-old golden sandstone sensation
Anytime you step off a bus into a new town in India, it's always intimidating - it is boiling hot and you and your backpack are forced to fight off all the touts offering accommodation. So it is always a relief to get a price negotiated on a rickshaw and get to your guest house, especially when the staff is as great as it was in the 250-year-old Haveli Guest House, where I stayed in Jodhpur. The interior was mostly marble, including my private bathroom.
Haveli Guest House is so good you should beware of commission-hungry rickshaw wallahs who may take you to one of three imitations. Ours is a five-storey, 350-year-old golden sandstone building... Rs200-Rs800.
meals: Breakfast Rs95. Lunch Rs125. Dinner Rs150.
