The Rohet House

Rohet House in Jodhpur is lauded for its exceptional hospitality, cleanliness, and well-designed rooms with top-notch facilities. Guests appreciate the cozy, spacious, and beautifully decorated rooms.

Staying at the Rohet house was a delight. A small hotel with lovely gardens and pool just off a busy road. A true oasis. The decor is excellent if somewhat surprising in that it is refined and restrained. The food however and the accompanying service, led by Om is exceptional- if they realise you are adventurous they will bring added treats to introduce you to their cuisine and culture. All the staff are faultlessly friendly and efficient. A lovely place.

So we stopped by the hotel to check it out since we had stayed in Mihir Garh which is owned by the same family. We wanted to just see it because I remembered seeing it online but couldn’t remember why I did not book it. So we stopped by when we were going for dinner and it was also very close to where we were staying and my wife and kids really liked it at once. We had one day in Jodhpur when we were going to stay the day before departing. Before we could book it, the manager had to call the owners son to check if he knew of us since we had stayed at Mihir Garh. Upon asking him why he needed to make so many calls for a booking, he said that the hotel had a no child policy (which is why I had not booked it before). Since we had stayed with their other hotel they allowed us to book a room here. So we decided to book a room there instead of staying at Club Mahindra Jodhpur. They had shown us the double bedroom but considering we had kids, they asked us to book a suite which we did without seeing it. The family has converted a bungalow of theirs into this hotel and have kept a certain portion for themselves which they probably use even now. The hotel has only 8 rooms or houses as they like to call them. Upon checking in to the room, we were pleasantly surprised because the suite was huge. The bathroom actually has a small passage in it. It is designed tastefully, the bed, beddings and sofas were really really comfortable. The only downside was the fact that they gave us a extra mattress instead of an extra bed. However, the overall experience of the suite was simply too good for that to get in the way. The mattress itself was very confortable so as not to lead to any aches or pains. The biggest problem we found with the hotel was that they have a very fixed and limited menu which isn’t to everyone’s tastes. Surprising because Mihir Garh despite being a remote location had a much bigger and better menu. Also, you have to inform them 1-1.5 hours before what you’re going to eat. In a city like Jodhpur that should definitely not be the case. Since we did not find the menu appealing and appetising enough for us, we ended up going outside for dinner. The breakfast however, was really sumptuous and more than made up for the dinner shortcomings. They make pretty much whatever you want and it was really tasty. All in all, I wish they did not have the no child policy and wish we could’ve stayed longer, much longer than just a day.
