Surwal Lake Tours and Activities

The Shakun hotel is well located in the city and just slightly out of the hustle and bustle of the main road; it's great for tour pick-ups and grabbing an Uber to dinner in the evening. The hotel is a little dated and perhaps not quite as grand as it once was. We travelled outside of peak season and it felt like the staff had been switched to a less experienced team who perhaps weren't as knowledgeable about service. However, they were always really friendly when we approached them. However, the restaurant food was great and the breakfast buffet was varied. Our room was big, spacious, really clean and attended to every day. If you're looking for a base while you spend a couple of days exploring Jaipur and aren't too worried about aesthetics of the hotel then the Shakun hotel, for the price, is worth it.

Wonderful 4 night stay. Could not have asked for more. Incredible service, friendly staff, and good wifi. What I loved most though was the food, lots of tasty vegetarian dishes. So much so that I ate at the hotel every night, which is unusual for me. Breakfast was also great. All in all, fantastic value for money. Some city centre sights are walkable but tuktuks are cheap enough anyway.
