Every now and then a guesthouse earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, The Pink Nest - Backpackers Abode, in Jaipur, is one of those. The strong location score reflects what guests actually feel on arrival, barely a stroll from the centre of Jaipur, with the kind of rhythm a city traveller tends to want. Rooms feel modest; the touches travellers mention most are on-site parking and reliable wi-fi, and the comfort feedback has been uneven. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, around 450 reviews, scoring strong on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €3 a night, a strong-value entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. Whether The Pink Nest - Backpackers Abode is the right fit depends on the trip, but it earns a place on the comparison shortlist for Jaipur more often than not.
