I've been travelling in India for 2 months and this hotel was the best hotel I've stayed in so far. The room was slightly more expensive than I've usually paid (Rs 400), but it was definitely worth it. The rooftop restaurant is BEAUTIFUL, the staff friendly and the room was clean and actually fairly elegantly decorated. They also arranged a... more

PROS Nice looking room with nice Restaurant sevice Views of the fort Not staying into the fort because of the water problem CONS People in charge of the hotel are very much into trying to sell stuff to you (like the tour). It is a very toursitic thing... Not really worth it. more

My friends and I had booked Shahi Palace for when we arrived to Jaisalmer on the night train. They picked us up at about 4am which takes the stress away from getting a rickshaw especially at that time! Our rooms weren't ready that early so they took us next door and put us up in equally nice rooms so we... more

Myself and friends arrived tired, unwashed and hot...the norm of a backpacker in India. We got picked up from the train station and were taken to the hotel. We were greated and shown a variety of rooms to choose from. The staff were welcoming, funny, relaxed and helpful. Although cheaper rooms are located on the bottom floor we opted for... more

We had planned the trip well in advance. Our daughter had found the hotel via internet searches and we chose to stay at shahi palace on 29th & 30th sept. We reached jaisalmer from delhi by train 3 hrs late. just near the gate we found a gentleman standing with a placard with our names. The man was Swaroop, the... more

The owners of this hotel understood what their (most non indian) guests want: perfect location, perfect rooftopterrace where you can sit and drink coffee all day, friendly staff and good camel safaris. We liked it here very much. We also booked a 2 night camelsafari which was good value. The best of this hotel is the terrace and the atmosphere.... more

The service is great, the location is great, 2 day 1 night camel safari they arranged was outstanding (1700 Rupees), but... the main thing I want from a hotel is a good nights sleep and in the two different rooms I stayed in 34 and 37 both 1400 Rupee rooms where just too noisy. One room the A/C was right... more

This hotel is excellent value, clean and the food in the rooftop restaraunt is superb. We were in the annex up the road and our room, one of the more expensive, had a magnificent view of the fort. Dev and his brothers have even purchased their own piece of desert and their own camels so their desert trips are free... more

We booked about 5 months in advance asking for two 1850 INR rooms which were the highest price they had, and were told they were confirmed. When we arrived they only had 1 room at that price and the second a smaller room at 1500 INR. They told us that someone got ill and didn't leave. Well, perhaps they should... more
