This is a good budget option for those interested in staying in the heart of the old city. This family-run guesthouse offers hospitable service. The vegetarian rooftop restaurant has excellent views of the city, and you'll be close enough to hear evening aarti (a Hindu prayer service) at the temples near the clock tower. The rooms are basic and unpretentious, and don't have bathtubs: but what the hotel lacks in facilities it more than makes up for in convenience by being so close to the sights. Excursions for village and camel safaris can be arranged. The hotel provides a handy map in English that includes non-auto-rickshaw fares to common sights—a good tool to avoid getting ripped off. Pros: enterance on quiet street in the otherwise bustling old city, impressive facade, Internet on site. Cons: no pool, multistory building with no elevator.
