The Thikana Heritage

- The property is located in the heart of the old blue city, and is right under the Mehrangarh Fort. - Hosts were friendly, chatty, and welcoming. - The home-cooked breakfast was good.

- Access to the property is challenging and requires navigating small inner alleys that are dirty and infested with street dogs. - There were no support staff when we stayed at the property so all our requests needed to be directly handled by the hosts which might be a little awkward. - Wifi was poor.

Lovely family, beautiful property, great location

Location is central to Jodhpur. Property ambience is historic. Services are beyond exceptional ... beyond exceptional.

It was/is exceptional. World Class. Global luxury service accomodations within an historic property.

Le Thikana Heritage à Jodhpur est un magnifique haveli historique plein de charme et d’authenticité au coeur de la ville bleue. Dès l’arrivée, on est séduits par l’atmosphère paisible des lieux et surtout par la vue imprenable sur le fort de Mehrangarh, un vrai décor de carte postale. Nous avions pris les chambres standards et c'est déjà tres confortable, et très cosy. L'eau chaude marche très bien. La cuisine est tout simplement exquise, avec des plats savoureux et raffinés. Un vrai régal après une journée à explorer la ville. Les propriétaires et sa femme sont adorables, attentionnés et toujours disponibles. Ils nous ont donné de précieux conseils pour organiser notre séjour à Jodhpur et ont également pris le temps de nous aider à préparer notre départ vers la prochaine destination. On se sent accueillis comme des invités, pas comme de simples clients. Une adresse chaleureuse et élégante que je recommande sans hésiter.

Tout était parfait.

We stayed at The Thikana Heritage in the heart of Jodhpur’s old Blue City, and it was an unforgettable experience! The property itself is a beautifully restored historic haveli with character — you instantly feel like you’ve stepped back in time yet with all the modern comforts you need. The room was spotless, comfortable, and tastefully styled with traditional touches. The rooftop terrace offered breathtaking views of Mehrangarh Fort and was the perfect place for breakfast each morning. Most of all, the hosts treated us like family — warm, friendly, and always ready with tips on what to see and do in Jodhpur. They even helped with local insights and arrangements that made exploring easy and enjoyable. Everything from the cleanliness to the location, hospitality, and heritage ambiance was outstanding. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a special and personal stay in Jodhpur!

Vipin & team are welcoming & helpful. Sweet family run property in the bustling old town close to shops, restaurants & famous monuments.

Beautiful old building, nice to stay inside the blue city, shower got hot enough, room is decent size, secure

This should not be a hotel the location is far too loud you will not sleep do not stay here, room is very dark and the windows do not let light in if you want light you have to open the windows (no screens so more bugs) and the sound is even louder, there is a public gathering space just outside the hotel, locals park their motorbikes just outside the hotel so people are driving, parking, revving engines, talking, playing music and making noise ALL night, it was horrible, the woman owner seems empowered which I like but she oddly tried to take pillows and a towel away from my double bed (which I had booked as a double room), fortunately you CAN turn off the hideous blue lights if you don't want your room to feel like a club, don't know why they pencil scribbled "hand soap" all over the bathroom but couldn't be bothered to label any of the 20+ light switches, they kill the electricity during the day so you can't leave the fan on, the room was very dusty and I have no idea if the TV worked it was covered in plastic, the shower does get hot but finding a hot/cold temp balance is tricky and by the time you find it you have run out of hot water, rooftop has an okay view but it is not developed at all, just one broken chair and concrete, it's a quick walk to the back of the fort but you still have to walk all the away around the fort to the main entrance to buy a ticket

Hotel położony w historycznym, niebieskim centrum miasta z widokiem na fort. Jest to 300 letnia kamienica, która jest pięknie wystylizowana. Właściciele bardzo mili i pomocni. Smaczne śniadania na dachu z widokiem na fort.

Byliśmy w styczniu i temperatury wtedy w Radżastanie są niskie. Pokój niestety nie jest ogrzewany. Właścicielka dała nam dodatkowy koc, więc nie było źle. Piszę o tym, ponieważ trzeba być przygotowanym na chłodniejsze noce.

Beautiful place, bakelite switches and so much of history haveli was just amazing. Hosts were too friendly treated us like a family members. Location was very convenient. Everything was clean. We highly recommend a stay at Thikana!

Entering the room one feels like a queen! The care that the owners took in the renovation of the Haveli is top notch. Our bathroom had modern touches and was super clean, one of the nicer bathrooms we’ve experienced in all our travels at this price point.

I understand they have a no outside food policy, however I can’t understand why one can not have tea or coffee in their room in the morning. Adding a kettle and allowing one to have tea/coffee in their room would have made the experience of staying here a lot better for us.

The hosts were friendly and went out of their way to make sure we saw all the best parts of Jodhpur while we were there. The building was an amazing piece of history to stay in in part of the old blue city.

The hotel is located in obscure corners of the city, you need to walk which should have been fine but the roads are not built so it's not an easy road to walk to, plus it's unclean with garbage dump right outside the hotel and doesn't seem safe either. If you are travelling with luggage then even worse to carry it. The couple who hosted us were the owners, didn't have any staff. They will charge you extra like only 1 complimentary bottle for the entire stay and not inform you if the same. The food rate at the hotel is obnoxiously high and the quantity is less. They also don't allow Zomato or swiggy delivery. The breakfast is at the rooftop and is very tough to climb if you have old folks with you. There is no concept of room service and they will not allow you to have any meals in the room.

The hosts were super nice and friendly. Everything was clean. The room was very cool. View from rooftop was phenomenal during breakfast time. Highly recommend it. Location was very convenient away from the bustle but walking distance from all the sights and beautiful murals everywhere.

Keep in mind if you have lots of luggage that you will need a tuk tuk from the clock tower to get there for the last 1km but was super easy to organise and do and we are a family with 2 kids (1&4 yo) and wasn't an issue.

Incredible heritage hotel. Steeped in history, enchanting views and beautiful interior.

Nothing

Good place to stay... haveli Morroco lane/ photography point just behind the location. 15 mins walk along stairs to the fort.

Access to the point a bit difficult due to narrow lanes. If you want to explore places,better be ready to walk a lot. You can avoid the guided tour...a bit high on pocket....you do some google research It's a home stay..no in house restaurant available.

Génial ! Je recommande

Perfect cleanliness and an unbeatable location in the heart of Jodhpur, yet very quiet with no cars or tuk-tuks. The building is unique, with a beautiful rooftop terrace and amazing views. The food prepared fresh by the mother was excellent and individualized, and she shared great knowledge and tips about local cuisine. The family was incredibly kind and helpful, making us feel truly at home.

An unforgettable stay! The room was amazing, set in a 300-year-old house directly beneath Mehrangarh Fort, it truly feels like living in a castle. The owners were so kind and communicative, happily sharing stories about life in India and offering lots of helpful travel tips. Owner’s wife cooks incredibly delicious, fresh homemade meals and prepares whatever you like. A very special place with wonderful people, highly recommended!

Only one hairdryer in hotel :)

Loved that the place was 350 years old!

The breakfast was too spicy for me, but my husband liked it

Comfortable bed Clean bathroom Nice Rajasthan interior design Friendly and helpfull staff Nice view on the rooftop Good price/quality No more restaurant in the hotel, so we can't comment on that

Breakfast starts quite late (8 am), especially if you want to make an early start. Breakfast at 8 also means: things start being prepared at 8, the breakfast is not ready yet. Maybe start preparations earlier? The room is quite small (but to be expected for this low price) Lots of (difficult) stairs tot reach the rooftop Noisy outside (temple behind the corner and on the square) In a back alley, so you need to carry your bags through some smudgy alleys (we were lucky our tuktuk driver assisted to find the hotel and carry a bag)

Die Lage ist super, sehr nette hilfsbereite Besitzer, sehr gutes Essen… rundum ein schöner Aufenthalt

El hotel es espectacular, la habitación enorme, los detalles muy cuidados y el personal muy agradable. Las vistas desde la terraza son inmejorables

Por poner algún pero, la terraza no estaba, en cuanto a decoración, lo cuidado que está el resto, un poco desangelada

This is an amazing, very very old house. The room was absolutely beautiful. Boho chic. The breakfasts were amazing - very plentiful and varied with home-cooked food. Nice rooftop place to eat with wonderful views of the fort. Location in the very heart of the old city. Hosts were very informative, helpful and friendly.

We didn’t mind that there wasn’t a TV, but this should be made clear on the booking.com listing. I had trouble adjusting the shower temperature but I did eventually learn how to do it. My partner had no issues with the shower at all. He found the internet an issue but I didn’t.

Supernette Inhaber mit vielen Tipps. Eine wirkliche Heritage-Unterkunft. Sehr gutes individuelles Frühstück auf der Dachterrasse mit einem tollen Ausblick.

Nichts - es war alles excellent.

Such a beautiful building with lots of history, so great to see it so well kept. The husband and wife duo that run this home stay were so welcoming, accommodating and lovely to talk to. Would highly recommend The Thikana Heritage!

Очень радушные хозяева. Помогли с организацией трансфера от вокзала и после в аэропорт. Сам отель очень камерный и бесконечное удовольствие расположиться на террасе за завтраком и смотреть как просыпается город. Однозначно рекомендую к посещению.

Узкие улочки, часть пути надо нести чемодан на себе

A 400 yr old property with amazing hosts.

As the property is old and right in the middle of the city , so its basically surrounded by buildings and reaching here with lots of luggage might be some difficulty .

Hosts are good and nice

It was too much expensive. not value for money. basic amenities were not there .like-wifi, tv were not working. no kettle, tea amenities. water was given just one day. they said it allowed only once which could not be done.

The Thikana Heritage couldn't be a better choice of stay in Jodhpur. Location wise, it's in the heart of the old Blue city, right at the foothills of Mehrangarh Fort. Rooms are extremely clean and cozy. Beds are comfortable. The room keeper is an extremely nice and knowledgeable person who will help you with any sightseeing questions. Overall, 10/10 and I really couldn't emphasize enough how amazing my experience has been.

We liked staying in large villa with a lot of history and atmosphere. The staff took great effort to provide us with everything we wanted. Our room was small, but clean.

The accommodation is located within the Blue City of Jodhpur with it very narrow streets and intense liveliness. This can be bit intimidating at first, but both the staff as the inhabitants of the Blue City soon gave us a more comfortable feeling.

Amazing staff. And the haveli is marvelous! At the heart of the blue part of Jodhpur, in a quiet street far from the honking.

Manju and Vipin are very good hosts, good English, good local knowledge, Manju is an excellent cook who can explain everything to do with food. Vipin knows the history and politics of the area. Aiadan the housekeeper was very friendly and energetic. The location is just under the huge rocky outcrop which holds the fort so great views of the fort and the blue city from the rooftop, and a short walk up many steps to the fort. The Haveli is beautiful and hitoric. the rooms are beautifully decorated, and I didn't need air conditioning even in the extreme heat. A few barking dogs, but we felt it was a very safe neighbourhood.

The Thikana Haveli is located at the end of long maze of alleyways inaccessible to cars or rickshaws, so we definitely needed google maps to find our way home, especially in the dark. The haveli is quite a walk from the closest restaurants so eating out is a bit difficult, but Manju was on deck most nights, and Aiadan is also a good cook. Order your beer in advance so it's cold and ready when you need it.

The ancient hotel building and the rooms are beautifully decorated and it has a spectacular view on the Mehrangarh Fort and the city from its rooftop .

The owner wheter was kind and gentle never exitated to ask for payments as soon as I arrived and also while I was taking a shower ...I got a phone call asking me to pay a little extra the day before the check out . They asked for an extra fee for card payments but they said soon after to go at an ATM to pay cash . Plus they asked me money as well for a late check out that I had asked which I didn't accept . The hotel was almost empty so would have been possible to give me a couple of hours more . The room was small and the bathroom almost unaxecible, and I was alone in a double room .

Excellent hospitality

We really enjoy our stay at The Thikana Heritage. From the very first moments the owners and Staff were very helpful. The building is a historic building, very beautuful and well maintained. There is a terrace on the rooftop with the view on the fort and the blue city. The location is inside the old city, very close to most of the attrations. I really recommend it, as it was one of the best hotel experience that we had! Thank you:)

Nothing:) everything was great!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Thikana. The service was excellent, the location super (short walk to the fort and clock tower) and the building fabulous. So much history! We highly recommend a stay at Thikana

Beautiful building

On the roof top were only very hard chairs. You can put some flowers and make it more attractive.

In general terms I liked the hotel. It has a good location: It is located within the blue city in Jodphur. The view is spectacular, you can see the Mehrangarh Fort.

Its ok

Good Service and very elegant rooms. The food was tasty. The view from the terrace is amazing true feel of jodhpur city. The connectivity is good for Blue heaven( navchokiya) and other city attractions. The rooms were clean and tidy. You can explore the real city.

The hotel is absolutely stunning, both inside and out! It really feels like stepping into a castle. The rooms are super spacious—ours even had a third-person bed you could reach by going up some cute little internal stairs. They also offer dinner, and let me tell you, their homemade Indian food is incredible. We loved it so much, we ordered it two nights in a row!

The Wi-Fi was a little spotty, and there were some unique neighborhood sounds like dogs having a bit of a tussle, bursts of loud music, and the occasional religious ceremony. But honestly, none of that could take away from our overall positive experience!

The place doesn’t have parking, the vehicle can not reach to the hotel, you have to pick up your own luggage n climb the narrow stairs if you are allotted the top floor room, staircase are very dangerous, place is very poorly lit. We reached late in the night which was told to owner but they didn’t care to provide us food at that hour, there were 2 kids with us. One fell sick the next day so we asked owners to give some food as the kid had to take medicine. They refused saying that the order had to be placed previous night. Overall the price they charged was of 5 star n service provided was of lodge

The old architectural building truly resembles the name "Heritage". The building is a couple of centuries old and will fascinate someone who is interested in history.

The property is totally authentic and a wonderful piece of Jodhpur’s history

It was great for us but you definitely need to be comfortable with climbing stairs!

Incredible old building if you are into that sort of thing like us, do not expect luxury. Very nice lights in the rooms. Great location. Amazing views from the rooftop and good food for dinner. They also have beer which was a big plus.

Temples outside are very loud and there is zero noise cancellation from outside in the rooms. Breakfast was not great. Also not allowed to have any food in the room even when my girlfriend had a food poisoning and could only stay in bed.

After careful considerations and a few references we booked our stay at Thikana Heritage for our Jodhpur trip. We had a few initial apprehensions, but going by the other reviews, we were expecting a pleasant stay. Since the cabs cannot reach the hotel, one has to either walk or use a rickshaw. Their trusted rickshaw driver picked us at the famous clock tower with a very warm welcome. The ride to the Hotel was an experience as it is situated in the old city of Jodhpur where history, tradition and architecture are at it’s best. A stone’s throw away from anything you want to see and visit in Jodhpur, Thikana Heritage has the best access to the iconic Mehrangarh fort, the blue city, the popular sweet shops which are all in and around the stay. The assigned room was incredible, different and one of it’s kind. The hospitality, knowledge and guidance of the hosts Vipin Lunker and Manju will make you feel at home and the stay at Jodhpur complete. A special mention to the food that was served, truly authentic and sumptuously delicious. Kudos to the team and hosts of Thikana Heritage. Thank you for an amazing stay.

The haveli was extremely beautiful and the hosts were so helpful and kind.They answered all our questions patiently,gave us a lot of information about the city and where to find delicious local delicacies too.

The travel to the stay needs to be done in a tuk-tuk through narrow lanes and is a little tiresome with all the luggage but this is not on the owners, it's pretty common throughout the city but it was just something that I didn't like.

I absolutely loved my stay at Thikana Heritage. The Heritage building is beautiful and super unique compared to other places that I’ve stayed in India. The couple running the hotel were so lovely and I ate home cooked meals every night that were delicious. The location is in the heart of the old city within a 5 min walk to the fort and a 10 min walk to the clock tower. I typically don’t do reviews but I can’t recommend this place enough!!

None

Very courteous owners of the property. Takes care of the guests very nicely. Well maintained property. Very helpful and supportive to the guests. They made our short stay a memorable one.

The approach road leading to the property which is beyond the control of the property owner.

We loved every bit of our stay. The hotel was clean, we had everything we needed in a beautiful family house. But most of all our hosts were welcoming, helpfull, smiling and caring. You will find the house after going through tiny roads, away from the noise of the streets, go there eyes closed, it's perfect.

What a beautiful place, sensitively restored. Our room was palatial. Breakfast was awesome and done to our requests. The owners are lovely and justifiably proud of the Haveli. Don't get me started on the bakelite switches, awesome! Would definitely choose this again.

I can't think of anything.

From our check-in to check-out, our stay was wonderful. Manju & Vipin, the owners, are wonderful hosts and took great care of us as if we were their family. We had room #7 with a king bed and a queen bed on the mezzanine. The room was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults & 2 kids). The decor of the heritage hotel and the rooms gives you a unique experience as if you go back 300 years when the building was built. The room has good AC, comfortable beds with a modern bathroom. The hotel is very well situated in the blue city, 2 minutes from the fortress and a 10 min walk to the step well and clock tower. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Authentic,beatiful ,comfortable and clean place. Arranged smooth pick up from the train station. Breakfast on the roof with a nice vibe...

We wished to stay one more night 🙂.

This Place is simple amazing. How often does one have the Chance to stay in a 350 year old haveli in the middle of the blue city at the foot of the fort. The interior was lovely and classy and the beautiful decorated bedroom invites for a good night of sleep. The only modern thing is the well equipped bathroom. The view from the rooftop terrace is breathtaking with the fort on one side and the city at the other side. Location is perfect, the clock tower only a 10 minute walk away. The best however were the warm and welcoming hosts.

the architecture of the haveli and the view from the rooftop is amazing The couple who own the place is just fantastic they treat you like family and with an incredible hospitality They make this place even more special

Nothing

Location was ultimate ,just nearer to the fort Mehrangarh and blue city. Breakfast served was too yummy. Fantastic view of old heritage.

The Thikana Heritage was a great find for us. We had booked a room in a soulless hotel and could only stand if for one night and then found Thikana and moved there. An old havelli in the heart of the blue city, it could not have had more soul. All carved stone with beautiful jalis throughout. Vipin and Manju were great hosts. Manju is a great cook. Breakfast was full of tasty surprises and evening meals were available and were so good.

A really amazing heritage property in the old city of Jodhpur. We were wonderfully looked after by everyone at the property, good breakfast on the roof, walking tour booking and given so many recommendations. Could not recommend this property more 😀

Manju is a wonderful cook and we enjoyed her breakfast feasts and had two of the best Indian veg meals of our trip in two evenings

Good location with fort view and tasty breakfast

nothing

Friendly staff.

Overpriced for what you get. No hair dryer. Breakfast was only from 8:30am and despite the hotel not having many guests, the hotel wasn't flexible to serve the breakfast even 10-15 minutes earlier.

Very quaint and authentic. Has been fitted with modern plumbing and electricity while retaining the charm of the heritage building. Located in the blue zone, it is very close to the fort. The hosts and staff are very hospitable and go out of their way to ensure comfort. The food was excellent home style food and a welcome change after restaurant meals.

The lanes surrounding the property had a lot of stray dogs and accompanying trash. This however would be common to all similarly located propeties.

Old haveli, really nice rooftop with a cool view. Room clean.

During the night there was realy a lot of noise from outside. Breakfast was not so good.

Hospitality by Owner himself , Very very Clean Room & washroom too ,

All fine

Authentique stay in a very well-maintained and clean Haveli, right in the middle of the old Blue city. If you're looking for a true experience then this hotel merits your stay.

We were a bit disappointed with the food as it advertises delicious food but both dinner (brought in from elsewhere) and breakfast where not really what we were hoping for. We also didn't manage to find the Fort by foot from the hotel as there are no clear directions available (or maybe we overlooked them). The noise at night can be bothersome if you are not used to it but that is part of the Indian experience.

Amazing old haveli in the centre of the old blue city. The most helpful owner, who helped us make the most of our very short stay in Jodhpur.

Location is with Heritage Look Just beneath the Fort of Jodhpur … the morning view was heart taking !!!

Home like living room experience in an royal style

The guest house is very nice and heritage built. The view of Jodhpur from the rooftop is so beautiful that it cannot be expressed in words. Very clean environment and efficient staff.

It is very interesting heritage building right in the heart of Jodhpur near old city. Rooms are well-equipped and spacious, there is a roof terrace with good views, where breakfast is served. Staff is very friendly, helped us organise an old City tour and driver for our next location.

Our room was on the first floor, right near the reception - so starting from the morning we could hear all the noises from the street and in the hotel. Also, somehow main power switch for our room was outside of it, and from time to time someone was just switching off all power in the room. Not a big deal, but would be nice to avoid it.

good

The hotel is located in an area that is difficult or impossible to access by tuk tuk or car, the streets are very narrow, dirty, it is not pleasant to walk there. There is also a lot of noise in the neighborhood.

The property is magnificent with beautiful interior and exterior. The rooftop has a wide view of the blue city. The food is very good and delicious.

This was not suitable for family with little kids. Floor was uneven. My daughter who is 5 tripped over and bumped her head on the table. Room was congested. There was space for one person to sleep up in the room, which was unsafe for a kid to sleep as mattresses, which was single bed, was same level as boundary wall. No complimentary tea or coffee given. TV was covered and was not in use. We booked king size room with balcony. Balcony was not accessible as it was covered with mesh. The owner asked us to pay 1000 rupees more as we had kids for extra bedding which we didn’t ask for and included kids when we made booking. This place not accessible by car, even auto rickshaws can enter the streets, too congested.

The owners are a lovely couple, extremely helpful and kind. They arranged tuk tuk and tours for us, which we thought was really helpful. The location is right in the blue city and very close to the Fort walking path. The rooms are lovely from inside and decorated with an authentic heritage haveli feel. Nice rooftop area.

The entrance to the hotel passes through an alley which was extremely dirty with piles of garbage. It would be great if the hotel mgmt could try to proactively maintain that area cleaner. For westerners, we thought that the breakfast options were quite limited, pancake and fruits. Any loud conversations in the reception area can be a bit disturbing, especially if you're planning on sleeping till late, as sound proofing in almost all havelis is generally absent.

Owner is quite helpful. He arranged all site seeing pretty well.

A very unique hotel in that it's a heritage building. Very rustic and cosy. Manju and her husband are such warm and welcoming hosts. Would stay again.

Nothing

Very beautiful room (and whole building) that gives you a feeling that you are back in medieval times. Very clean. Great view from the rooftop. The owners are very kind and helpful. They can also arrange tours and airport transfer for you. Good location close to the clock tower, blue city, and the fort.

Small improvement point: breakfast should be served a little bit earlier.

Stunning place, great rooms, very clean, friendly staff.

The breakfast was amazing. I liked the rooftop very much and the hosts too were very comforting and hospitable. The building is very beautifully recreated and well decorated. The lighting at night gives it even a little more great touch.

The vibe and the location which was right below Mehrangarh fort. It offers good views of the blue city. The staff is helpful and most importantly the bathrooms are very clean! So thumbs up for that

The Masala Tea

Sympathetic redesign of the building for lodging.

Although the noise levels outside are out of anyone's control, a double leaf door facing the street in the standard room is very inadequate - being constantly disturbed by people coughing, shuffling on the street kept my parents awake all night. The single glazed windows are just not good enough for keeping the noise out even on the first floor. We could not wait to leave after two nights of poor sleep, late breakfasts, and the littered streets on approach. Unfortunately noise travels internally as well; historically accurate internal doors and windows are not par for 'paying' residents. While again no fault of theirs, the chatting among the staff who sleep at the entrance of the building can be heard very well on the first floor rooms. The charges are a bit cheeky, 2 bananas for Rs 30. Refillable bath and shower gel containers are great for sustainability but not if they have solidified. Both rooms had the same issue. Discrepancy with credit/debit card charges as against noted on booking.com page. Never have had to pay charges for paying by debit card anyway where else in India, except here. All in all, for the price point, this falls way below expectation.
