When I travelled India in 2016 as a sole female traveller, one thing I wished I’d seen more of, was hostels to stay at, as it can be lonely travelling on your own and it’s great to meet like minded people who understand the experience. India is amazing but it can also be overwhelming to the senses and I personally needed some time to unwind in my accommodation after a day’s sight seeing. That’s what Blue Beds seems to grasp, the need for a place to come back to that’s relaxing and allows you to recharge by stepping back from the hustle and bustle of everyday India experiences. A Place with clean, crisp lines, minimal yet high quality decoration with that European feel so that you feel like your stepping out of the sensory overload of the magic that is India and you can chill out, take some time to reflect, charge your phone and laptop and plan the next part of your adventure and almost feel like you could be in your own home.
So what makes Blue Beds so different from other hostels? Well….let us tell you about Blue Beds and you can decide for yourself. Blue Beds is a new hostel here in Jaipur that’s had a complete make over and what’s been paramount in this revamp is putting the needs of our guests first and ensuring we equip our hostel with all the things we wished we’d seen in other hostels through out our own travels. We picked all the good bits from our stay in other hostels and put them all under one roof! We realise the need for good air conditioning so the building is air conditioned through out, perfect for these hot Indian summers. We’re not here to provide you with a cheap bed at minimal quality, each room has been well thought out and has that fresh modern feel to it that you’ll find in many Western hostels.
We live in a digital age so we know how important having fast internet connection is and that we all have many gadgets we need to charge and so at Blue Beds in every room we’ve ensured there are plenty of sockets. In the air conditioned dorm rooms, each bed has its own socket, small reading light so you can still lose yourself in a good book and a small shelf to put your essentials on. There is plenty of lockable space too for all the worldly goods your travelling around. We’ve even taken into consideration the types of beds we have so that you can get a good night’s sleep with us, from having invested in good mattresses to ensuring our beds are a longer length to meet the needs of our taller guests. No one ever likes that long queue for the bathroom on a morning and so for example, in our ten bed dorm we’ve ensured you don’t have to wait any more by providing two lavatories and two shower rooms in there.
Seeing as we are blessed with so much sun in India we figured you might want to soak up some of the morning sun by relaxing on your balcony with a good book. There’s no point though, to a hostel without that common space to meet and get to know your fellow traveller. You can escape the heat in our air conditioned comfy cosy area, with plenty of charge points for the laptops and places to relax and plan your adventures with new friends. Remember to check out our notice board with all the latest going ons in Jaipur or stop and ask one of our members of staff who will happily share their local knowledge with you from the best places to eat to local hidden gems. Don’t forget to sample the chai in our kitchen for guest use or check out our products for sale from local NGO’s supporting women and children. There’s lots on offer in Jaipur and we’ll happily help you find it.
