Hotel Arya Niwas
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is one of the easiest bookings in Jaipur for travellers who want a calm, well-rated base near M.I. Road at a low price. Light sleepers should bring earplugs, because guests report thin walls.

Independent travellers and couples sightseeing on a budget will get the most from it. The score is 8.8/10 from 2,199 reviews, and the reference price was 77% below the sample median. Guests like that it is set back from the street and quiet outside.
Skip it if you sleep lightly and noise inside the building bothers you. Guests say the walls are thin and sound from neighbours and corridors carries. Skip it too if you want five-star facilities; that is what our Luxury pick is for.
Location and getting around
The hotel is behind Amber Tower on Sansar Chandra Road, near M.I. Road. Guests describe it as a short ride from the Old City, and the location score is 8.8.
Hawa Mahal is 2.3 km away, about 29 minutes on foot. That is walkable for many people, though it is a long walk in heat. Jal Mahal is 5.6 km, around 70 minutes, and Amber Fort 8.6 km, around 108 minutes. Both are far, so use a taxi or public transport. Walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
Guests value the quiet setting away from the street and the easy access to the Old City. Staff are described as friendly, polite and attentive, and helpful with requests.
The recurring complaint is soundproofing inside. The street side is calm, but thin walls let in noise from neighbouring rooms and corridors. Asking for a room away from the lift or stairs is worth a try, though we cannot confirm which rooms are quieter.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Our reference check for 10 to 12 November 2026, 2 adults and one room, showed about €49.88 per night against a sample median of €212.78. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
Hotel Pearl Palace Jaipur, our Budget pick (3 stars, 8.5/10), was about €22.74. The Leela Palace Jaipur, our Luxury pick (5 stars, 9.2/10), was about €306.01 and is far from the centre. Arya Niwas costs about €27 a night more than the budget option and scores 0.3 higher, while staying much closer to the sights than the Leela.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 16 eligible properties in Jaipur. On review score alone, Arya Niwas shares tenth place, so it is not the highest rated. It won the Best Value slot because it balances a solid 8.8, a large base of 2,199 reviews and a price far below the median.
That balance is the point of this category. It is not the cheapest hotel, and it is not the best rated, but it is the one where the numbers line up.
