The welcome is warm. Good value for money. Joli cadre. The terrace is very nice and the staff very friendly. The kitchen is good. In the old blue city away from the bustle. Good location.

The Cosy Guest House, in Jodhpur is actually a hostel, esp meant for backpackers primarily. It is a budget segment property and hence the facilities are accordingly offered. The view of their restaurant is wonderful.

We stayed here for 2 nights and had a wonderful time. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable and the staff are very friendly. The rooftop restaurant is excellent with views over the Jodphur and the palace. It got pretty lively here at night and everyone was so friendly. We had our 8 year old with us and she loved it. The food was great too. The guesthouse is in the main part of Jodphur but just away from the hecticness which was excellent. Would stay here again in a shot!!

The owner's assistant tried to cheat us several times within 24hrs. Pick Up Service is supposed to be free. Well, not actually. The assistant is a big liar. Do not book in this place. I strongly advise to look for a different house.

Cosy guesthouse is in a very quiet location, although you need to have good legs to walk up the hill. No rickshaw can go there, even motorbikes cannot. Therefore if your legs are weak stay further down the hill. The rooms in this guesthouse are tiny and so are the bathrooms (if you have an ensuite). I had and also paid for the extra comfort of airconditioning. What really made me upset over the 9 days I stayed there, was the constant turning off of my aircon. I was charged as if using it, but often I would sit inside my room and read or write and a staff would turn my aircon off from outside my room. At 45+ degrees, this is not funny. I soon discovered where to turn it back on again, a spot hidden outside my room behind a standing mattress, so I could help myself. Nevertheless I found it annoying - every day! The restaurant on the top floor, again, has a nice location. The views of the fort are probably the best from here, BUT go check out the kitchen. My gosh it is flithy. The staff sit on the floor and eat with their bare hands before chopping your vegetables. The whole place looks filthy and stinks of old food and standing water. I have lived in Asia now for 27 years and I like to rough it, but in this place I felt they could do much more to keep it clean. After all, cleanliness is not something India is known for, so why not surprise? The staff, who are basically doing everything from making beds to cooking your porridge, sleep on the floor and a sofa in the reception area with the same clothes on as they work in during the day. Their clothes are kept on the rooftop in the open air, right beside the restaurant behind a sari curtain. If you go to the restaurant at 8 AM, chances are high that no one is there except a staff sleeping on the seating cushions in full clothes too. Amazing Mr. Joshi (so called by LP), the owner, is a friendly enough man when you first arrive, but hardly ever afterwards seems to remember you (and I was there for 9 days). He never greeted once and his guesthouse was more expensive by quite a bit than Singhvi's haveli, a real little gem, just around the corner, where they bent over backwards to make their guests feel at home. their rooms were double the size at 3/4 the cost and with far more professional staff. Cosy guesthouse is not a terrible place, I probably sound very negative, but a place is made in no small part by its people - and that's where Cosy guesthouse is not making it. The biggest draw for me was the quiet location high up above the blue city. I would not stay again, especially during the hot months, but go to Singhvi's haveli.

Our train was (typically) two hours late. When we arrived, I called the guest house to see how much a rickshaw to there should be, as I had made reservations for a room for 350R a night for two people. He was very rude to me on the phone, stating in an accusatory tone that I was supposed to have gotten in earlier that afternoon. Then he said "30 rupees" and hung up on me. We get there, and I get further rudeness about us supposed to be in earlier, and he tried calling my cell phone but my delhi-based mobile number apparently kept on giving him an out of service message. This was somehow my fault that my phone was bouncing calls when it was roaming. He then tells us that the only room he has available is a room for 675 a night (either he gave our room away in that two hour window or he pulled the usual "put-you-in-a-more-expensive-room-your-first-night-but-you-can-move-your-second-night" scam). Tired, we take the room and head up to the restaurant for dinner. What we should have done at this point is left - but Cosy is so far from all the other hotels that we didn't want to pay another rickshaw to take us back and we were tired. You can't pay cash for your meals if you are staying there, but the owner told me that we could pay our bill every morning if we liked. He also said that we could move rooms at 10 am the following morning to the room we had originally reserved. At 10 am, we couldn't move our rooms (we did so an hour later) and the man at the desk wouldn't let us pay for the night before. Throughout our stay, the only staff member who knew anything about anything was the owner (Josy?) who was rarely there and when he was he was unpleasant to deal with. For example, there is no posted curfew. I don't have a problem with curfews, they make sense in a family run guesthouse. But when I asked at almost 11pm at night if there was a time the doors closed (we were going to head out to another guest house with some friends we had met at the restaurant) the response was not, "yes, it's 11 o'clock." The response was, "They're already closed. We can't wait up for you all night." Other than the rudeness of Josy and the lack of knowledge of the staff: - The village safari was not multiple villages - it was two villages where they spent five minutes talking about the craft half heartedly before asking if you want to buy anything and a third that was the driver's house where his sister in law fed you. Not really what we were expecting, though I suppose we should have lowered our expectations. - I know for a fact they do not clean the sheets in between guests, because we moved to the room next door to our original room and they hadn't cleaned the sheets for the guests who took our room after us (not that surprising for Indian guesthouses, really). - There was a 300 rupee discrepancy between what our calculation said our bill was and what they said the bill was, but our option was fight it and wait for Josy to show up or leave and be done with that place. We chose the latter.
The highlight of our stay was actually our dinners at the nearby Amar Niwas guesthouse - the owners are some of the most friendly people I've met in India (I'm living here) and the food is fantastic. If we had discovered them earlier, we would have moved to that guesthouse instead of putting up for Cosy's for all three nights.

We stayed at the nearby Evergreen backpackers coz cozy was (what a surprise) booked full. They were willing to arrange us a room later but we found evergreen good for sleeping. We visited cozy's restaurant often, food is great and wi-fi forks fine.

Cosy was great. I arrived early morning on the train from Delhi, but my room was ready by 9.30am and I was happy to drink chai on the roof until then. I have no idea which (if any) of the guys was Joshi, but they were all friendly, service was prompt and they were very unobtrusive. No-one tried to sell me a tour, or anything else once. I loved my room, the water was hot, and bathroom spotlessly clean. The food was good, and they have beer, though it's not on the menu. It takes about 25 minutes to walk to the clock tower through the old city, which was a great walk.

Really? this is a high ranking place on trip advisor? Sure the view is great, and the restaurant did do some fantastic food. But the rooms are small with jail cell like steel doors on them. One room we looked at looked like it was a closet, the bed was wedged in and there was a dark void past the end of the bed which was "a store room". Our room which was near the office was not very quiet. We could hear neighbours talking constantly, and at one point (around midnight) the staff were having a conversation outside our room (albeit not loudly and although they were trying to keep their voices low, sounds travels really well due to there being not real doors) not as quiet as i had hoped for. As for its location it is too far away from anything, besides being in the middle of the old area. There are zero other restaurants or even street vendors around so unless you want to walk 20 or so minutes towards the clock tower area, you really have no choice but to eat at the Hostel (which does have nice food). It was an okay place, but definitely not the best of what is available, and it also isn't the only guesthouse with a view of the fort. Nor does it have the best view of the fort. Every single guesthouse near to the clock tower also has a rooftop restaurant and they all have equally amazing views, and are much closer to the actual entrance as well.

We planned a road trip to rajasthan, jodhpur was one of the places, i called cosy guest house to inquire about the room and parking space as we would be travelling by car. Joshiji said there is parking space and told us to book the room on his website,we did as told. But when we reached Jodhpur and called him to ask directions he told us to park the car at the entrance of the hill and than take an auto to the hotel, but when we reached there with great difficulty found that there is no parking space everything was full,so we were really irritated and left the place.he did not help us out with anything nor did he call us back.But when i asked for the refund he plainly refused to give.Very disappointed with the reviews, i found about this place.
