Excellent place, just few min ride to the old city, but feels like a villa with gardens outside the city, amazing pool, very clean, feels like a real royal summer palace (partly true by the way), very friendly and helpful stuff, a bit of a British aristocracy ambiance and attitude :)

I was nervous about traveling to India as a single female since there has been so many problems publicized in the news lately, but the owner emailed me several times putting my fears to rest with all of his help and advise. It is a family run business and everyone makes you feel so welcome. The food is great too... More

We reached Jodhpur after a long self drive so naturally were a bit exhausted. But the moment we were recieved by the courteous staff of this beautiful hotel, all our tiredness was simply gone. Everybody had that 'so-happy-to-serve-you' smile and this attitude filled the entire ambience with so much charm that it eased out all our exhaustion.As we booked late... More

Very nice hotel, we only stayed one night there because of our express tour of Rajhastan and wished we stayed longer because it was a very relaxing place and wonderful environment: large pool area, outdoor restaurant, and very calm and spacious rooms.

Enchanting, enchanting, enchanting ... The small historic hotel with an intimate guesthouse appeal, has a magical setting and aura. 3 kilometres from the Clock Tower and market area of central Jodphur, Ratan Vilas is set back from the road in glorious gardens. Brijraj and his wife Namrata opened the doors on the 1920s polo playing (stables and style) home 15... More

Why Ratan Vilas is the best stay-option in Jodhpur: 0.0> Value for money. At this price (between INR 3000/- to 4000/- for deluxe , 2500/- to 3000/- for standard, 2000/- to 2500/- for basic rooms), getting a stay at a heritage complex in a tourism hotspot like Jodhpur and getting all the good amenities is a huge bargain in itself...

My husband and I stayed at Ratan Vilas for three nights and really enjoyed our stay. The property is absolutely lovely. It's more of a mansion, than a guesthouse (though, the owners do live in a portion of the house) and overflows with history and charm. Our room was comfortable and clean, and the air-conditioning worked perfectly. The pool was... More
