The Arch Boutique Home stay

Lovely place, large and nice boutique-style rooms.
The attached restaurant (Sam’s) is quite expensive though (on the 2nd glance: tax and service charge)! But there are some good and inexpensive places just around the corner.
If you have some time left, book the guided walking tour with Mayank at the hotel’s reception. He does a great job and explains a lot!

I bet you cannot find a better homestay for your Jodhpur trip! I have no words to describe this place! Check-in yourself and experience the magic of this place! I had an amazing stay!!
Thanks Shantanu!

Atmospheric & friendly guesthouse in an excellent location next to the amazing Stepwell and an easy 15 minute walk to the Mehrangarh Fort. The rooms are spacious and comfortable - recommended!

This hotel is set in a historical building, on an amazing location and the price will just astonish you. From a Dutchie to the world: I highly recommend!

PS. They offer the fair Google Updated exchange rate as well for your euros vs. Rupees. Something I highly appreciated!

We had the privilege of exploring Jodhpur with an exceptional tour guide of the hotel. Our guide Mayank was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate when it came to introducing us to the history, culture, and sights of this fascinating city. Please ask for him if you need a guide through the city.

He led us to the hidden gems of Jodhpur, imparting the stories behind the historic buildings and monuments and patiently answering all our questions. His enthusiasm for the city was infectious, making the tour an unforgettable experience.

Furthermore, our guide was extremely accommodating and flexible to ensure that we had the best possible experience. His commitment to our satisfaction was evident, and it was clear that he loves his craft. We ate a few sweets that was in incredible tasty too!

If you're visiting Jodhpur and seeking a top-notch tour, I highly recommend this tour guide. He exceeded our expectations and made our trip truly special. Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

The hotel was fascinating and very good too, we had a very good time here overall.

Amazing experience of stay of 2 days

So central to Fort Eateries Clock Tower that one can just walk.
Owner brothers are friendly.

Mayank gives very informative walking tours from the homestay.

Staff from.Nepal and local helpful.

Home style food and other veg international cuisines in the very arty cafe

The bathroom can have exhaust fans and more easily accesible.switch points (marked).near bed sides.

It was a great stay at The Arch! Mayank and his team were very friendly and helpful. The location was great, near the Fort and the city centre. The room was beautiful and very peaceful. If you have time, do the city tour with Mayank, it was a nice way to discover Jodhpur.

We visited in September, before the peak season. Even then the rooms were very clean and well maintained. The AC was in top condition, cooling the room pretty quickly. The step well is literally next door. My taxi dropped me off a little far away from the homestay, the staff helped us getting it to the room as well. Expect a little disturbance and honking from two wheelers till 11 pm. It gets really quiet after that for a peaceful sleep.

If you have enough squeeze room in your budget, do NOT miss out on staying here!
We got our room for a fairly cheap rate because we visited during the off-season. Sadly, we only had one night here.
The staff is friendly and courteous and the rooms are spacious, clean and beautifully decorated! Also, well equipped!
They also have an amazing art Cafe alongside the stay where they continue to surprise with the decor. Also, some of the display items are for sale! Reasonably priced menu and again, warm customer service.
Furthermore, if you have time in the evening don't forget to go for the walking tour, also available at this magical place!

Right next to the stepwell, Sam introduced us immediately to everything Jodhpur has to offer. He was extremely helpful and contactable.
Mayank one of the blue city tour operators who works at the hotel was also excellent

Super, unique 200 year old hotel! And for less than €15 a night is crazy value!

It was a great experience sleeping in a room with so much history. The hotel is artistically decorated with old antiques and local art. The rooms are clean, with comfy beds, air conditioning and beautiful lighting.

Staff was also great and we went on a walking tour with Mayank which was really cool as we seen lots of little streets most tourists don't and learnt lots about the blue city and Jodhpur's history. Not only that but it was a really personable experience to walk and talk with Mayank, and chat about all sorts or subject.

All in all a wonderful hotel experience.

This is the coolest place we have stayed at in India. The rooms are tastefully decorated and have unique original features. The staff were exceptionally good. The lad who helped us check in, Mayank, is one of the friendliest and most helpful people we have met in a hotel. Without a doubt the best place to stay in Jodhpur, not just for the decor but for the amazing value for money.

The old world vibe here will transport you! The attached cafe has excellent espresso and conveniently great meals. Room was spacious and authentically decorated. The location cannot be beat, so easy to start exploring on your own by foot. Most of all the brothers who run this homestay are amazing! They helped us prearrange our airport pickup as requested. We had a fun and adventurous walking tour with one brother, and bought some beautiful antiques from the other, who went out of his way to arrange delivery. My friend also left her phone in a taxi and they went to great lengths to retrieve it. We had perfect lattes each morning. The whole experience was nonstop hospitality and authenticity. In every way each of the hosts went above and beyond to make it a fantastic time in Jodhpur!

Arch Boutique Home stay is a wonderful place to spend a few days in Jodhpur. Location is just superb, being close to the happening places in the city. The spacious rooms and common areas have a vintage interior design style as well as lighting and staying there is indeed a unique experience. Bathrooms and other fittings though are very modern and contemporary, so that tourists get the best of both worlds. Shantanu is a very gracious & caring host and helps you with your travelling/adventure activities etc if needed. The Sam's Art Cafe on the ground floor, run by his elder brother also serves delicious multi-cuisine food which is lip-smacking, reasonable priced and with generous portions. Not to be missed, highly recommended

Family owned business in the most beautiful period building with so many original features in the heart of Jodhpur. Very clean, comfortable mattresses, little extras provided and amazing hospitality. I was a solo traveller but have been looked after since my arrival.
I wanted to see Jodhpur with a local’s eyes so I asked Sam, one of the owners if anyone could take me around. Mayank works there and he is part of the extended family. For a fee (of course) he shares his passion for his city and took me to the most incredible places, including a hang out for locals in the evening. He explained in detail everything I was seeing
Next door a beautiful traditional cafe with delicious food and coffee.
Thank you everyone! Memorable trip. Keep up the good work and I will see you again next time I will be in Jodhpur
Love

The staff was really helpful, amazing manager. Room was clean, spacious, we felt charming atmosphere there and it was memorable stay. Food is possible to get in cafeteria at the ground floor. Unfortunately during our stay there was electric outage, no power for couple of hours, but not a big deal.

Excellent hospitality and Architecture. The homestay is located quite near to Toorji ka Jhalra(30 Seconds walk) and offers an amazing view of the mighty Mehrangarh fort from its rooftop.

They have a cafe which serves really delicious food and beverages and a rooftop restaurant with a fort view.

Shantanu is a great host and helped me with last minute transportation in a very impartial manner.

The homestay has quite an aesthetic look with interiors made from local Jodhpur Chittar stones. The rooms are quite spacious,
with good lighting arrangements, mine was having a balcony as well.

The local market is at a walkable distance and the homestay is also attached with a historic walkable route to the fort (15 mins walk). Overall my stay was excellent and would love to visit this place again and would definitely recommend it to my friends.

We are 3 friends traveling India 6th time. And choosing this place in Jodhpur for 2 night stay was like the gift we received. The location, the house, the decorations, the food..everything was perfect. But the most and main gem of this hotel are people working here, everyone was so friendly and welcoming, we felt like between good friends. Want to say special Thank you to manager Mayank whose advises about places to visit, to eat, to shop were very very valuable. He also helped us to solve pretty serious problem we had that time with some traveling issues. We suggest this place for anyone who want to expierence the hotel with beautiful mood.

Would recommend? Highly, yes.

We found Arch boutique through online search when we were exploring authentic Jodhpur Heritage home stays.

Spoke to Shantanu who is both clear and courteous and made our bookings in advance for the Diwali stay.

We spent 3 nights in this absolute heart of the city delight.

Right from their hospitality, soft spoken and eager to help staff, to clean and spacious well decorated haveli rooms, our stay has been above par.

It was a stay with all moden facilities in a completely authentic 200+ year old haveli.

Sam's art cafe inside the heritage property is a foreign tourist hangout.

I would highly recommend the entire range of food here- the original flavours and herbs used- right from italian to continental to indian food.

Great attitude. Great rooms and property. Great memories.
