An exceptionally impressive building as you enter the reception. This is where the charm ends! Receptionist disinterested. No information offered. We were looking forward to a refreshing dip in the pool but it was dry! Bar closed and dirty. Garden and grounds untidy. Restaurant food was mediocre. with a limited choice. No beer served in the hotel. Breakfast was poor.

This is a 20 year old property built with Red Sandstone, reminiscent of palaces in Bikaner. It's an attempt at being modern yet classy with Art Decor. The white mosaic tiles are a rarity at Hotels in India. Rooms are specious and pompous. The surrounding are artfully made with tasteful landscaping. Only drawback is, it's far from the main city and the staff is little rustic in service. Food options are very limited and best avoidable. When we went there, it was in the transitioning phase to the new owner. We like our stay at the hotel

The hotel is surrounded by a wonderful garden with fountain and pool. Our room was marvolous, with beatiful bathroom. The service was also excellent. In the vegetarian restaurant they have a wide range of choice, so even non-vegs can pick some nice dishes.

Brij Gaj Kesri is a beautiful haveli turned hotel away from hustle bustle of town. Every corner is tastefully decorated and it houses exquisite collection of Bikaneri Usta art. the staff was courteous and made sure we have a comfortable stay. Mr. Daulat ji gave us a tour of property , which is quite huge as it spans over 16 acres. The in-house Polki restuarant serves delicious food. We had candle light dinner by the pool side and it was quite an experience. The room was spacious and beautifully done. The whole experience felt like living in an art museum with impeccable service and facilities.

Your search for pet-friendly vacations ends at Gaj Kesri. We travelled with our little baby, a labrador, and enjoyed a laidback weekend here. The food is good, the service is good, and the property is amazing. The rooms, too, are clean and comfortable. The property is a short drive from the city. If you need a break from city life, head here and unwind. The only cons: too many wasps, and the restaurant service is a tab bit slow.

We have been in Rajasthan for 10 days from Khimsar to Nagaur to Bikaner and Jodhpur, and our favourite place has been Gaj Kesri for several reasons. The food at Polki restaurant was delicious and our large party of over twenty people were all served a piping hot Rajasthani thali with baajri ki roti and fresh seasonal sabzis at the same time. Not only was the coordination and service exceptional, but the food was just like traditional home-cooked food, giving our digestive systems a break from heavy restaurant food. The gajar ka halwa was also perfect! The grounds are huge, clean and beautiful so that we enjoyed strolling and admiring the spendid architecture and courtyard perfect for gatherings of any size. Bikaneri Usta art and crafts are on display in all rooms and in the magnificent drawing room with portraits of members of the illustrious Rampuria family who own havelis in the city and are renowned for their philanthropic work and support of traditional Rajasthani arts, crafts and jewelry. Gaj Kesri is the ideal place to rejuvenate on a tour of Rajasthan, so peaceful and surrounded by wild lands, and we went on multiple tours: Joorbheed to see huge migratory birds and vultures, Jhunagarh Fort to see the exquisite mahals, and the Bikaji bhujia factory to see how Bikaner’s world renowned snacks and desserts are made. There is so much to see in Rajasthan and I will definitely be returning to explore more places such as Jaisalmer, but I know one thing for certain…I will fit in another multi-day stay at Gaj Kesri to enjoy home-style cuisine, the peaceful grounds complete with a spa and pool, the outstanding service and arrangement of local tours with knowledgeable guides, and the warm hospitality.

Stayed at Gaj Kesri for couple nights with the family and it was an awesome experience. The hotel itself looks majestic with its grand entrances and amazing courtyards and lovely rooms with local art and decor. The rooms were splendid and service was first class - we were treated like royals. And the food - wow! We never realized there was so much to do in Bikaner - besides the fort, we also visited Joorbheed - amazing place to see vultures, sand dunes. Wish we could have stayed longer!

We were requested on a demanding tone to check out before 9 am as they had a booking, it is pertinent to note that when we asked the front desk guy about the check out time, he said that there is no fixed check out time in their hotel, Ridiculous ! Our total bill was displayed to us on calculator at front desk, on demanding the bill the front desk guy debated and gave us a copy of money receipt and told they will mail us as they give bill only when the guest informs them in advance that he requires a copy of bill. Never heard of such practice nor experienced such rude behaviour in any other hotel. After serving a single peg of particular brand of liquor, they expressed their inability as it is no more in stock. To sum up, staff have no idea about hotel service.
