Babylon House Reviews

Description

Located in the heart of Pink City, Babylon House is for trainees/ students/ volunteers/ travelers/ backpackers coming to Jaipur for internships, volunteering, studies, work or travel. A place buzzing with people from various nationalities who immediately help you get accustomed to the area and take you out shopping for groceries from the nearby markets, teaching you bargaining skills, planning weekend trips with you, going out sightseeing, cooking for fellow inhabitants of the house, introducing you to the local heritage and culture, taking you out for parties, sharing stories from their cultures... the warmth and the love of this place is what brings them back ever again.

Very central, University of Rajasthan is about a kilometer & the main bus and train stations are about 7 kms from the house. The major tourist attraction, the 'Pink City' is 5-7 minutes by an auto rickshaw. You can always ask about the approximate idea of rickshaw prices from the landlord of the house. Never forget to bargain though!

The rooms are neat and furnished with beds and cabinets. There is a big open balcony on the outside of the rooms which is THE PLACE where most of the cultural exchange happens in the house. Used by the guests as a common space, this balcony is imprinted in the hearts of hundreds of people who have spent endless nights chatting with other guests, socializing and sharing meals. There is also a massive roof which the guests use in hot summer nights to have gentle conversations.

The rooms range from private (doubles and twins) to dorms with access to common bathrooms with hot showers. Linen is included, and there is also the possibility of renting towels and a laundry service. A kitchen is provided to guests with all basic things like fridge, gas, stove, dishes etc

One can always ask the landlord about advice on what all to see in the city, the best restaurants, museums, historical places, bars and clubs. The house offers a small bookshelf which has books from different languages, magazines, free maps and lonely planet books which can be used for referrals. There are also a few board games that this bookshelf houses.

We have free Wi-Fi internet access available throughout the building.

The house is governed by certain rules and so the owners expect their guests to follow and respect keeping in view the neighborhood and the culture of the country.
