We wanted to experience staying at a real Rajasthani haveli and Khatu Haveli worked pretty well for us. It is a old haveli built in 1860s, has multiple courtyards, very quiet despite the usual street noise outside the compound. The room comfort was good: very clean, with AC, free water bottle per day, kettle, shower with good hot water. The TV in the room has some English channels: 1 movie channel, 2 nature doc channels, and apparently some news channels (which we didn't watch). The food options are good: breakfasts were included and had several continental choices (eggs of any kind, toasted bread, butter/jam, juice) and a few Indian dishes; the menu for the latter changes daily. Buffet dinners are available at 8pm for an extra fee, and include: rice, lentils plus 3 Indian dishes (which also change daily). You would have to sign up for a buffet dinner ~3 hours in advance to give the staff the time to cook. Some dishes were excellent, others a tiny bit greasy but still quite tasty. There are about 4-5 staff working in the haveli, all very professional. The owner lady lives there and visits the dining area during breakfasts and dinners so you might have some interesting conversations. Apparently this haveli has been in the family for 6 generations. The neighborhood is OK. It's an easy 5-7 min walk to the Pink City street with its colorful bazaar shops; and then about 30 min walk to places like Hawa Mahal (you will need to brave crazy traffic at street crossings a few times).
