Safe, Budget friendly & Memorable Jaipur Tour with Iqbal ⭐
Pros:

"We were 3 girls travelling in Jaipur and felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the tour. Our driver, Iqbal, was very polite, respectful and professional. He picked us up and dropped us safely near our hotel, Chitra Katha.
He also took us for shopping in affordable price ranges and guided us properly, which really helped us get good deals. We truly appreciated his honesty and support throughout the trip.
He made sure we reached every place safely including Chokhi dhani, Amber Fort, Nahargarh Fort and Hawa Mahal. Driving was smooth, time management was perfect and he never made us feel uncomfortable.
Highly recommended for girls’ trips! Thank you, Iqbal, for making our Jaipur tour secure and memorable."

Disappointed by Room Condition vs. Online Reviews
Pros:

The room that was given to me was terrible. The paint was old. The telephone was not working. The TV cables were tangled. One light had its switch outside the room, which made me feel a little disappointed compared to what I saw in the reviews before booking this hotel and what I felt after checking out.

The story time experience by Mr. Anshu is definitely amazing, fascinating and quite helpful. The aesthetics and attention to detail was remarkable. Is clearly value for money. Would 100% recommend.

A great stay!!
Pros:

My family and I had a great stay at Chitra Katha towards the end of 2025. The place offered us the quiet and relaxing stay that we were looking for. The building with its appealing yellow exterior, artistic interiors and located right next to Hathroi Fort sets the right mood for a Rajasthani vacation. The central location with most of the city-based attractions about 15-20 minutes away was a big positive for us.

The rooms that were allocated to us were clean and well maintained and equipped with amenities to make our stay comfortable. The terrace is probably the highlight and the most happening place of the hotel. The rooftop restaurant, a mini library, a view of the locality, the occasional bone fire and the host Anshu’s unique story sessions, provide a relaxing environment after a tiring day of legwork exploring the city. The restaurant offered a good variety of options with the Laal Maas dish not to be missed if you are a non-vegetarian.

Overall, we spent a highly enjoyable and relaxing few nights at Chitra Katha and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Jaipur and looking for a blend of comfort, warm hospitality, and a peaceful stay within easy reach of the city’s main attractions. A real value for money.

Decent stay but attitude wasn't hospitable
Pros:

Housekeeping and kitchen staff was good and prompt
Breakfast we took was good

Cons:

Attitude of the front desk folks;
Charging extra for one person which I had already included at the time of booking - since I booked through booking.com so not sure who to blame for this

Make sure you get a clean room
Pros:

Good location, near the railway station, good restaurants, and in the centre.

Cons:

So much molding in the bathroom on the walls, absolutely a health and hygiene issue. Cleanliness could have been improved. If you are checking in later in the evening, communicate in advance.

Pleasant stay and very interesting location
Pros:

We missed out the story bit of Chitra Katha as we didn't get enough time. This place offers a pleasant stay. It has a lovely decor and ambience. The food is good, tad expensive though. It is a standalone building, so no kids play area or anything. However, there is a lift so elderly people wouldn't face any issues.

There are different categories of rooms, from very small double room to four-bedded and six-bedded ones. Rooms are cosy and comfortable, however, for a place whose walls are adorned with classy Prabudhha Dasgupta photographs, the rooms could have been a little bit classier. Basic things such as electric kettle (the did provide after asking), tea/coffee sachets, face towels can be included in the room tariff.

The location is bang opposite Hathroi fort, very imposing. Our four-bedded room had an adjacent terrace , perfect for a group getaway. The staff is helpful and polite. They did fulfil myriad demands of our heterogenous group.

An interesting stay, with certain scope of improvement.
