The location was fabulous, I really felt that I was inside the fort, not looking at it from afar. There are many places to stay around Jaisalmer but only 16 or so small hotels and guest houses inside the fort. I was lucky chose what I think is the best of them. I came in May, and even the locals were complaining that it was too hot (which of course it was). But the heat was dry which made it bearable, and there were refreshing breezes from the rooftop of the guest house in the mornings and evenings. Inside the fort the maze of small lanes reminded me of San Gimignano or one of those medieval hilltop towns. It was 'zero season' so almost no western tourists around. I walked along a path inside the perimeter wall and saw the boulders which were still on the parapets to drop on intruders. But I felt most welcome, mainly due to the proprietor of the guest house who organised my berth in a sleeper train to Jaipur at the end of my stay. It's a 13 hour journey but the airport is closed in low season. He also arranged a trip into the desert to see a half-forgotten temple complex at Kiradu dedicated to Surya the sun god. The whole thing was a magical experience which I highly recommend.

Our stay at Desert Haveli was truly so easeful. On arrival we had someone in a tuktuk meet us at our bus stop and take us to the fort. Then a staff member met us to take us to the haveli. Our room was cosy with the comfiest bed I've had in India! With great Aircon and quiet room. Breakfast each day was prompt and delicious. Biggest thank you Vimal! What a legend. He took us to an incredible antiques shop and a textile place. Very helpful, attentive and wanted to ensure we had a great stay! Highly recommend a stay at Desert Haveli guest house!

Because it's still off season the common area isn't as beautified as the images but that's normal at this time of year in India! Would love to come back during peak to see it in its full glory!

The host Dushyant was extremely warm, hospitable and helpful. In fact he organised my Sand Dune camping trip too right from the transport, safaris, boarding lodging etc.. The location is fantastic right in the heart of the Fort area . Dushyant also arranged for a very good guide named Saawan who explained the history of all the temples and monuments in detail. I had a beautiful room which extended to the terrace with a spectacular view of the Golden City. It was my first Solo trip which I will always cherish. I thank Dushyant and his team for making my trip a memorable one. Highly recommend this Haveli. I thank Booking.com too for having this property on their platform. Dushyant personally takes care of each and every guest. Infact he had organised my pick up from the airport till my drop off on the day of departure.. I felt at home being here.

My breakfast was included but I suggest adding some local delicacies like Kachodi, Dal pakwan etc on the menu. The menu was very limited and was average. It would be nice to have an option for having dinner also as I used to get exhausted after sight seeing and then would need to step out to eat my meals at night which was at times cumbersome due to climbing high rise staircase as this is over 250 year old Haveli. Even a simple Rajasthani thaali would have been great to have for dinner.

It was a privilege to be able to stay in such a marvellous property. The Haveli, exquisitely maintained over the centuries, has retained a real sense of old-world charm. While the building itself feels ancient, the addition of modern amenities (private bathroom, air conditioning etc.) means you’ll be more than comfortable during your stay here. The room was clean, spacious and quiet with breathtaking views from the golden fort. The upstairs rooftop (additionally a restaurant) was also a fantastic spot to relax. The staff were all very well mannered and considerate. Dushyant left us something truly remarkable with this Haveli. We felt welcome here. We felt at home. Thank you Dushyant. Thank you Vimal, and everyone who contributed to making this an incredible experience.

Our stay was perfect.

Amazing stay in an old haveli within Fort Jaisalmer. It was our last night of 6 weeks travelling through India and it was amazing to stay in an authentic place like this as a final experience. Beautiful spacious room, very comfortable bed, hot shower, great view from the window. We wanted to do an Indian cooking class on our last night and we contacted the accommodation beforehand if they could advice us, and they arranged everything: we had the best authentic cooking class by a local family, a wonderful memory and we learned a lot. They also arranged a very affordable tuktuk ride to the airport at the last minute. All in all, great and memorable stay!

Everything great!

Excellent service and staff - Ashish (the owner) arranged for Tajmohmmed and Abdul (the staff) to meet us at the bus stop as we arrived late at night so they could assist us with finding the place - such a gorgeous gesture given we were unfamiliar with Jaiselmer and another thing we didn’t have to worry about. The staff were so responsive during our stay, always helped us with whatever we needed and helped book a jeep safari when we arrived. The food was delicious and the room was clean, and the view was amazing! My favourite place in Rajasthan! Thank you so much to Ashish, Tajmohmmed and Abdul! 100% recommend and we will be back!

Nothing

A wonderful little hotel with only several rooms in a 400 years old palace in the very center of the walled fortress of the 12th century. Great location, next to the Jain Temple, main attraction of the walled city and close to lovely roof top restaurant. The roof top terrace of the hotel is also a very nice quote place to spend some time in the evening, looking at the town below. We have staid in 3 different rooms and they were all different since it’s a historical palace, vue they all had a unique own character. The hotel manager and staff were very helpful, kind and accommodating.

Amazing situation in the battlements of the fort at Jaisalmer. Host came fetched us from the 1st gate as no cars inside. Views are incredible over the surrounding countryside as we ate dinner and breakfasts their The host was very helpful and informative and when his staff forgot to include the laundry in the bill which he kindly waived it for us.

It entirely exceeded our expectations.

Our stay at Desert Haveli guest house has been perfect. The position inside the fort is wonderful, the building is perfectly mantained and the room was clean and comfortable. The staff has been really kind and they took very good care of us: despite was off season and the majority of restaurants were closed they provided tasty lunch and dinner and prepared breakfast on the terrace for us. They also organised a night in the desert that has been simply magic. Absolutely recommended!

Excellent location inside a 450 year old Haveli. The room was really rustic with an authentic Rajasthani feel. Jeetu and others were warm and welcoming, cooked delicious parathas for us. The roof top is really chill with a beautiful desert view. One must try their Indian vegetarian dishes. Amazing experience overall. Definitely recommended!
