Jaipur Jantar

This sparkling, spacious and relaxing hostel comes from the folks at Arya Niwas, and is adjacent to another of their concerns: Jai Niwas. There's a kitchen for guest use, and courses, such as cooking, are available. It has a shoes-off policy inside, but there are lockers – and shoe covers if you want to stay shod. Book direct for a discount.
