Must-see hotels in Eastern Rajasthan

  • Hotel Spoonbill & Restaurant

    Bharatpur

    The original Spoonbill has a variety of different rooms, all good value and clean, if a bit worn. The place is run by a businesslike retired major and his…

  • Sariska Tiger Heaven

    Eastern Rajasthan

    This isolated place about 3km west of the bus stop at Thanagazi village will pick you up from the village's bus stop (₹200). Rooms are set in stone-and…

  • RTDC Hotel Tiger Den

    Eastern Rajasthan

    Hotel Tiger Den isn’t fancy – a cement block fronted by a lawn and backed by a rambling garden. Its best feature is that it is very close to the reserve…

  • RTDC Hotel Teej

    Jaipur

    Set in a pleasant garden, Hotel Teej is marginally better than the average RTDC hotel. The unexciting rooms are spacious, with high ceilings and TVs,…

  • Royal Tents

    Pushkar

  • RTDC Hotel Khadim

    Ajmer

    This RTDC option is more welcoming than many equivalent state-run enterprises, and is convenient to the bus station. It has a decent restaurant and bar…

  • The Mellow Cafe & Hostel

    Jaipur

    A very basic hostel of four-, six-, and eight-bed dorms, each with a hot-water bathroom (towel and soap provided) and air-conditioning. The garden and…

  • RTDC Hotel Swagatam

    Jaipur

    One of the closest digs to the train station (100m down a rather grubby lane), this government-run hotel has helpful, friendly management and a neatly…

  • RTDC Hotel Meenal

    Eastern Rajasthan

    A respectable option with tidy yet bland and tired rooms typical of the chain. It’s located about 1km south of town on the way to Sariska, so it’s quiet…

  • RTDC Tourist Village

    Pushkar

    Various permanent huts and semipermanent tents, set up near the fair ground, are usually booked out by tour groups well in advance. Full payment must be…
