The Property — Metro View
The Metro View is a straightforward, budget-friendly hotel overlooking the railway station and the city wall at Jaipur's busy eastern edge. The lobby is clean but compact, with a reception desk staffed by efficient, no-nonsense clerks and a small sitting area where guests wait for taxis. Its main draw is location: a 10-minute walk from the walled Pink City's Badi Chaupar gate, and about the same to Sindhi Camp bus stand. This is a no-frills base for independent travellers who want a safe, affordable room and don’t mind the constant soundtrack of train announcements and autorickshaw horns.
Chronicles of Jaipur
Jaipur was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, who moved his capital from Amber to a grid-planned city on the plains. The entire old city was built in pink stucco to mimic red sandstone—a colour scheme famously fixed in 1876 to welcome the Prince of Wales. Its architectural identity is a blend of Rajput fortifications and Mughal-influenced havelis, with the Palace complex, Hawa Mahal, and Jantar Mantar observatory as centrepieces. Today, Jaipur is a bustling state capital and the gateway to Rajasthan’s tourist triangle, balancing heritage tourism with a booming IT and trade sector. Street life remains chaotic and colourful, with bazaars spilling out of every old-city lane.
Best Time to Visit
Full Jaipur guide →Best months
November to February: cool, dry days (20-28°C), clear skies, and major festivals like Diwali (late October/November) and the Jaipur Literature Festival (January) add cultural buzz; crowds are manageable outside Christmas week.
Peak / festival surge
October to March is the official peak, driven by ideal weather and winter holidays (Christmas, New Year). Hotel prices in Jaipur double or triple in this period, especially December-January. The Kite Festival (Makar Sankranti, 14 January) and the Elephant Festival (March) are specific draws.
Budget shoulder season
September and April offer the best balance: September sees the tail of the monsoon with lower humidity and fewer tourists; April is hot (35-40°C) but quiet, with significant discounts (30-50% off peak rates) on hotels and flights.
Weather & packing
Jaipur in July is hot and humid with daily monsoon downpours, often in the late afternoon. Pack light cotton clothing, a sturdy waterproof jacket or umbrella, and sandals that dry quickly—avoid suede or leather shoes.
Live City Briefing — Jaipur
- The Jaipur Metro’s Phase 1B extension (from Chandpole to Badi Chaupar) is expected to open in late 2025, improving access from the railway station to the walled city; currently, the line ends at Chandpole, a 15-minute walk from the hotel.
- A new flyover at the Ghat ki Guni junction (NH-48) started construction in April 2025 and is causing major delays on the road from the airport to central Jaipur; expect 30-60 extra minutes at peak times.
- The Hawa Mahal facade restoration project, funded by the World Monuments Fund, completed its first phase in mid-2025; the landmark is fully open but scaffolding may still be visible on its rear side.
Your Perfect Room

Rooms to avoid

Top Attractions in Jaipur
💡 Enter from the Chand Pol (main gate) and walk straight — the free area includes the museum's outer halls. Avoid guides offering to show 'hidden' parts for a fee.
💡 Go early morning (6–8 AM) when it's cool and busy with joggers and yoga groups. Carry water — shops inside are overpriced.
💡 Visit on a weekday evening — the gardens are less crowded and the building is lit up after dark. The camel rides outside are cheap (20 rupees) and popular with kids.
💡 Visit at sunset for the best light and fewer touts. Keep your camera ready — the water reflection is striking.
💡 Go across the road to the wind café on the top floor of the building opposite for a rooftop view without paying entry.
