We had a very warm welcome for our one night stay in Shanti Home. After our conducted tour around the home we were amazed at all the quirky items of furniture and fab art work. We were given the 'Bollywood' room which was decorated accordingly. Our evening meal was taken on the rooftop terrace, again we were warmly welcomed by... More

I can see why Shanti house and Gouri who runs it have received so many good reviews, because they are worth it. Apart from the rooms, which are basic (bucket wash and Indian toilet) but beautifully decorated with good beds, the point is you effectively get the chance to stay with an Indian family, a rare opportunity. You are eating... More

Shanti is definitely the word for this lovely hotel, conveniently situated in the heart of the old bizarre area. The friendly hosts were incredibly accommodating and made us feel nothing other than welcome during our stay. Our room was neat, tidy and tastefully decorated with a great balcony area - a great place to chill out during the hottest part... More

Thank the Gods that we bumped into Gouri outside the railway station. He helped us book trains and find buses/tourist information and only mentioned that he had a hostel when we moaned about ours. We'd already booked into the scummy, cockroach infested Evergreen, but the next day we moved into the lovely Shanti house. A big, quaintly decorated airy room... More

I haven't slept in this place, I only ate here. The food was really good, really good price! I've had the jeera rice with aloo gobi, and I returned the next day for fried dhal with jeera rice. They give a very nice personal touch to the diner! Gouri and his wife are the nicest persons of Bikaner.

My fiance and I had a positive experience at Shanti house. Its a nice place to hang out with fellow travelers. We also felt quite at home with Gouri, Tara, and Cormelika- their adorable daughter. When we became ill at their house, Gouri and Tara were very caring and concerned for our well being. They helped us a lot when... More

Lovely guest house run by a most hospitable couple. The free cooking classes (just buy the ingredients) are a nice touch. It is well located and Gouri (the owner) used to be a travel guide so he can help you with just about anything you need for your trip.
