The hotel is only a short walk away from the railway station, you can make it on foot even with a few luggage. But the street has a few shady spots and really bad smell, I would suggest an auto, don't pay more than 20, it really is a walking distance away.
We actually got a larger room than we booked for, so that was nice. But as usual with the other Indian budget hotels, this one had a tiny washroom, rather cleaner than most others though. The hot water is central and only available in the morning, so that is a BIG downside.
The room had a nice comfy bed, with a large sofa that is to be used as a third bed if needed. The lighting was a smooth yellow and there were two extra ceiling lamps for night/mood lighting, it was really nice. The room was very handsome to summarize.
There is a room service from the hotel's own restaurant. The food is reasonably priced for a tourist-focused area. Didn't try it though so can't really tell about it. There is a bar as well if you feel like it. There are two Dhabas (Indian eatery) in 2 minutes walk away. They serve pretty good veg food at nearly half the price offered in the hotel.
The local bus stop and city metro are both within 10 minutes walk from the hotel. There are always plenty of Autos (three wheelers) waiting for fair in front of the hotel. You can easily get a Uber, Ola or Jugnoo car called...

(You'ill have to carry your own soap and shampoo, which I always do, so I don't mind that they didn't provide any.. There was no towel in my room, but I prefer carrying my own.. So I am not counting these in cons)
Cons: 1) Needs deep cleaning.. The bathroom mat was dirty.. The entire flooring felt like it was mopped with a dirty mop.. The bed linen was not completely clean (I carry my own sheets so I didn't say anything).. The kamod also needs proper cleaning as it is becoming brown.. The bathroom light was dim, but all this was clearly visible...
There was no bucket & mug, and when I asked for one, they gave me a dirty one from the store, which the room service boy tried to clean with water.
The Restaurant & bar are NOT separate.. I walked in, as from the outside it looked separate.. Very awkward !! If guests want a decent dining experience, that's not possible; you'ill have to eat in your room..
I didn't try the food or use the A/c or T.V, So I have no clue about that...
Overall, suitable for...
Read more1/5 - Disappointing Stay at Hotel Holiday Home, Jaipur
I recently had the misfortune of staying at Hotel Holiday Home in Jaipur, and my experience was extremely disappointing. The hotel failed to provide even basic amenities and cleanliness.
Major Issues:
Unclean rooms and common areas Non-functional flush in the toilet No locks on bathroom doors Dirty bed sheets Outdated, poorly maintained rooms Subpar service from staff
Unacceptable Experience:
For a hotel claiming to provide comfortable accommodations, Holiday Home fell woefully short. The lack of attention to cleanliness and maintenance made my stay unpleasant. The service was unresponsive and unhelpful.

If you value your comfort and hygiene, I would strongly advise against staying at Hotel Holiday Home, Jaipur. There are far better options available in the city.
