Excellent service provided by the hotel staff. Especially the staff from 24/7 where we had our lunch & dinner we had excellent food with an excellent service. Me and family really liked the hotel, the rooms were well maintained with comfy beds. Will recommend my friends to stay here if they are visiting Jaipur.

FabExpress Nest
I had a very good stay. The location is excellent — close to many places of interest and very well connected. The room was super spacious, which was a big plus. Some things were a bit basic or worn, but overall, it worked fine for what I needed. The staff was kind and helpful. At first, the bed felt a bit firm, but I ended up sleeping really well, so it wasn’t a problem in the end. Overall, I’m happy with my choice and everything went smoothly.
FabHotel Kzar Select
Decent stay... Value for money... Room was okay.. Location wasn't great as the approach road was narrow. Near Park street yet so far. Didn't expect much from service but people were generally nice.. Mostly ate in Park street.

FabHotel The Hastings Club
Room Condition: 1/5 Despite booking a premium room, the overall condition was very poor. The first room I was shown had a terrible odor, and even among the three “premium” options shown to me, one was clearly below average—raising doubts about the quality of the rest. Bed: 1/5 The bed quality was extremely disappointing for a premium room. It lacked comfort and felt neglected. Bedsheet and Blankets: 1/5 The bedding was in poor condition and did not reflect the standards expected from a premium stay. Bathroom: 5/5 The only saving grace was the bathroom—it was clean and the geyser worked perfectly. Basic Amenities: 1/5 There were no basic amenities provided like a water bottle, comb, etc., which are generally expected, especially in a premium room. Location: 5/5 The location was excellent and convenient. Overall Experience: It seems the only benefit I got from booking a premium room was access to a clean bathroom. I can't imagine the condition of the standard rooms given this experience. The AC also wasn’t functioning properly initially but worked after room service set it to 16°C. Very disappointing stay overall.
