Diggi Palace is a heritage haveli in the city, run as a family-style heritage hotel. It is a mid-range choice for travellers who like old buildings, garden courtyards and a quieter pace than the main tourist hotels. The property has a cultural, event-hosting reputation in the city, which gives it a bookish, relaxed feel. Rooms are set around courtyards and gardens, with traditional decor and a mix of standard and heritage categories, and the hotel offers an on-site restaurant and a lawn that suits an evening drink. It is not a luxury palace and does not try to be: the appeal is the character, the space and a friendly, informal atmosphere at a fair price. Because it sits a little outside the walled city, it offers more green space and less noise than hotels in the bazaar lanes.
Location and getting around: the haveli is in the city near the old walls, a short auto-rickshaw or taxi ride from City Palace, Hawa Mahal and Jantar Mantar. Walking to the bazaars is possible but not the main reason to stay here; most guests take short rides and return to the gardens. The railway station and the main road network are easy to reach.
Rooms and facilities: rooms vary in size and style, from simpler categories to larger heritage rooms with more decoration, and the quality can be uneven in an older property, so read recent reviews and request a room that suits you. Expect air conditioning, courtyard views and a mix of modern and traditional touches. Breakfast is usually served in the garden or dining room in pleasant weather.
Who it suits: travellers who want character at a mid-range price, families who like space for children to play, and people who enjoy a quiet garden after a busy day. It is a good value alternative to a palace hotel and a more relaxed option than a hotel in the middle of the bazaars. Booking in advance is wise in the winter season, and if you want a large pool and a full spa, look at the bigger hotels.
