The Property — Hill View
Hill View is a solid three-star with a terrace that gives you exactly what the name promises: a broad view over Jodhpur’s blue rooftops towards the Mehrangarh Fort. The lobby is small, tiled and functional, with a reception desk that doubles as a tour booking point. Rooms are clean and basic — think cool stone floors, firm beds and a bathroom with good water pressure. This hotel suits pragmatic travellers who want a reliable base with a killer view rather than boutique charm.
Chronicles of Jodhpur
Jodhpur was founded in 1459 by Rao Jodha, a Rathore Rajput chief, after he captured the hill on which Mehrangarh Fort now stands. The old city below, painted in indigo blue to keep homes cool and repel mosquitoes, earned Jodhpur the nickname ‘Blue City’. Its architectural evolution moves from the massive fort to the elegant palaces and stepwells of the Marwar period, with later British Raj additions such as the clock tower and the sprawling Umaid Bhawan Palace. Today, Jodhpur is a busy commercial and tourist hub, famous for its handicrafts, spice markets and the annual Marwar Festival.
Best Time to Visit
Full Jodhpur guide →Best months
November to February: cool, dry days (20-28°C), clear skies and low humidity. Perfect for exploring the fort and old city without heatstroke.
Peak / festival surge
March and October: warm weather and the Marwar Festival (usually October) draw domestic and international crowds. Hotel prices rise 30-50% above shoulder rates, and March can feel crowded at major sights. Diwali (October/November) also brings extra visitors.
Budget shoulder season
September and April: decent weather (30-38°C, but dry) with far fewer tourists, hotel discounts of 20-40% and a more relaxed experience. Avoid July unless you’re fine with high temperatures and possible rain.
Weather & packing
July is the monsoon month in Jodhpur, bringing afternoon downpours and 33-38°C humidity — a sticky combination. Pack a compact umbrella or rain jacket plus lightweight cotton trousers and sandals that dry fast; leave denim and leather at home.
Live City Briefing — Jodhpur
- Jodhpur Airport is undergoing a terminal expansion to handle more flights; expect minor delays or increased taxi times through July 2026.
- The Mehrangarh Fort Museum has introduced a new audio guide for the Zenana courtyard, launched in early 2026; worth adding to any visit.
- Construction has started on a new pedestrian bridge near Toorji Ka Jhalra stepwell, which may cause some street diversions in the old city centre through late 2026.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hill View, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Room 301 or higher, as they are located on the third floor and above, which means you'll be away from the street noise and lift traffic. These rooms also have natural light and a decent view of the surrounding area.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms 101-200, as they're closer to the street and might be noisier due to the busy Jodhpur streets. Also, the lift only goes up to the third floor, so if you're staying on lower floors, you'll have to use the stairs.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address in Jodhpur doesn't have a direct view of any major landmarks, but you might get a glimpse of the surrounding cityscape from the higher floors.
