We didn't check other places. So we have nothing to compare with in Jaipur. But after two months of travels in India we realized that it was overpriced. Real price for this kind of room shall not be over 400Rp. Because room is tiny, cold (at least in february))). It was problem with the shower, the flow was very veak.... More

Arvind was extremely accommodating to us! He arranged a complimentary pick up from the train station and allowed us to check in late and leave our bags when we checked out for the entire day until our midnight train. He even let us hang around for a beer late that night. Breakfast was served every morning with a veg option... More

This is a great place in every respect! The atmosphere, cleanliness, and location are very good. In particular, the owner Aravind Grover is most helpful and knowledgeable about the area, and his 'explorers den' is wonderful.

Arvin was an excellent host. He helped me book bus tickets and made several recommendations for places to eat and things to see in Jaipur. He setup a great sight seeing your for me as well. I had a very nice experience at The Explorers nest and would definitely stay here again.
