“Great Place to Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 3, 2013

I stayed here for a couple of days and highly recommend it for a great value stay. I was met at the train station for a complimentary transfer to the hotel which is built into the fort. Steep stairs lead up to the bedroom level then another set of stairs to the reception and the rooftop cafe area. The rustic... More

“Beautiful rooms and View”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 20, 2013

If you are staying in Jaisalmer, you must stay in the fort! We were offered two gorgeous rooms, and choose the room with the larger balcony. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and well decorated. The location is fantastic, part of the fort and near all the shopping. The restaurant was nice and convenient, and a beautiful...

“Good points and bad points”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 8, 2013

I stayed here in February with my 9 year old daughter. This was the cheapest room of our trip at 500 rupees a night, so this does make it a little difficult to review with no comparison. I will just list what I feel to be the good points and bad points and let other judge for themselves if the... More

“An oasis of peace in Jaisalmer”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 4, 2013

We loved staying at this hotel for many reasons. We found Raj and his staff to be so friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and comfortable with its own fabulous stone balcony jutting out from the fortress walls. The balcony had mattresses and bolster cushions to lounge on whilst looking out at truly spectacular views. The only drawback was... More
