1.MI Road

MI Road is a commercial hub of Jaipur. It is also an arterial road that connects the western part of the city with central areas especially the tourist areas. Most hotels in and around MI Road are mid-segment hotels. The rooms are smaller in size with no garden. There are a few exceptions though like a few hotels on Sansar Chandra Road. A big advantage of staying on MI Road is connectivity. The railway station and Bus Depot are at a few minutes drive. Fetching transport is easy and so are the options to eat. Public transport is easily available. There are many good hotels on MI Road, Jaipur like Radisson, Golden Tulip, and even ITC Rajputana which is slightly off near Jaipur railway station. All these are closer to 5-star hotel category on MI road.

2. C-Scheme

C-scheme is residential cum commercial area. Very few hotels have come up during the recent years because it is one of the poshest localities of Jaipur. This area is central and well connected with most places. Hotels in this area are mid to premium segment. Another advantage of staying here is the presence of a large number of cafes and restaurants to choose from.

 

3. Sindhi Camp/ Central Bus Station

The hotels in this area are huge in number. Most hotels in Sindhi camp caters to the budget segment. One must expect chaos and clamor here. The advantage of staying in this area is the easy availability of transport and inexpensive food options. The Metro connects Sindhi Camp to the walled city area of Jaipur too.

4. Kukas, Delhi Highway

Kukas is a hub of luxury hotels in Jaipur. A large number of resorts and international chains are present here. You can be assured of tranquility and a peaceful environment here. On the flip-side, traveling to the city requires significant time and planning. Ola and Uber taxi services are not available in this location.

5. Jaipur Airport/ Jawahar Circle

Hotels near Jaipur airport are mainly international business chains in the 4-star category. It is best suited for those looking for a peaceful stay with a short commute time from downtown area. Jawahar Circle & Malvia Nagar are fast developing as a cafe and restaurant hub too. Only certain locations in this area are well connected with public transport. There are a couple of international & national chain hotels near Jawahar Circle like Jaipur Marriott, Radisson Blu Jaipur, Jaipur Lalit, Sarovar to name a few.  Patrika Gate is synonymous with Jawahar Circle which also has a garden by the same name.

 

6. Vaishali Nagar/ Ajmer Road

It is primarily residential but fast developing into an upcoming commercial center. Staying in here entails significant commute time and money to tourist attractions and shopping area. It makes little sense for tourists to stay here. The hotels here cater to mid-segment.

Bani park offers a great alternative to Sindhi camp with a variety of hotels to choose from budget to mid-segment. This area is well connected with both railway station and bus depot hardly a kilometer away. It is one of the best place to stay in Jaipur for the tourists. The only sore point is the traffic congestion during peak hours in certain areas.
