The Golden Haveli Hotel in Jaisalmer is, without doubt, the nicest hotel I have stayed in whilst travelling in India. The hotel offers wonderful aesthetics as well as serious comfort. Just a 15 minute walk from the city palace, the beautiful golden hotel provides an extensive outdoor space with a lovely swimming pool. Inside the hotel you will find beautifully decorated - and well priced - rooms as well as a fantastic restaurant serving Indian and continental classics a La carte, and a buffet service for breakfast, lunch and supper. Above all, the service at the hotel is second to none. All of the staff make you feel so at home and are incredibly generous with their time, advice and help. If you’re in Jaisalmer, make sure you stay here - you won’t regret it.

Excellent hotel to stay with family. We stayed here only for a night but it was amazing.... thanks to the person at the front desk who gave us a room even without any advance booking. Front desk staff were polite and helpful. One extra star for the location... it is on the main road and quite close to the Fort... from the roof of the hotel... we could actually view the fort.... It was a beautiful experience especially during night. They have in house restaurant. Food was delicious and service was quick.. They have parking outside the hotel. Room was super spacious. We got a fort view room. But the best part was the interiors of the hotel... a little fountain with many small plants are actually inside the hotel... Very economical hotel. We would stay at hotel Golden haveli only whenever we are in Jaisalmer...

We stay a week during a family vacation, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The rooms were spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and modern amenities. However. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate special requests, such as extra towels and room service. The pool area was clean and relaxing, though it got crowded in the afternoons. The hotel’s location was fantastic—just a short walk from the main tourist attractions and close to public transportation. We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant each morning, and the variety was good, though the quality could have been a bit better for the price. For the price we paid, I’d say the hotel offers decent value for money. I would recommend it for families or business travelers looking for a convenient and comfortable stay in the city.

Don't get carried away with the outlook of the property, the rooms are completely opposite of the same. cleanliness is something they don't know about if that should be there in the hotel. The bathroom had only piping hot water running from all taps, even from the toilet flush and jet spray too, complin about the same was not rectified in the two days of our stay. We where 5 rooms for 2 nights (i guess the maximum revenue the hotel was getting from one family during that tenure of the stay) but still the priority was given to foreigners in house in terms of attending their complaints at the first place. The staff really didn't had a clue about a smiling face, they acted as of we where an uninvited guest and where staying for free. All in all it was seriously the most disappointing stay we had ever had so far, the hotel is under construction and it's dust and junk all over. Somebody seriously in the management needs smell the coffee and wake up.

We just spent 3 nights here and had the most wonderful time! The rooms are clean and ornately decorated, plus the window nooks were so inviting, my son spent every evening having tea in it❤️The staff is courteous and extremely helpful. They were able to quickly secure rickshaws, a camel safari, and anything else we needed even during the busy desert festival (which they were sold out for!) For breakfast, the buffet had enough variety for every taste. I usually like to try different restaurants while traveling, but we ended up eating at the hotel almost every day. With good food, reliable quality, and late night options, the hotel was hard to beat. I only wish that I had brought a swimsuit in order to enjoy their gorgeous pool!!! I will definitely visit again ❤️10/10

Lovely feeling when you arrive an oasis in the dessert, long entrance gives it a grand feeling and the pool, trees and green space hive you respite from the town. The room was beautiful and large and the bed was comfortable. The food was good we had breakfast, lunch and dinner here as the kids needed a break and we could come back and eat and relax in our room between tours. The place could be improved by providing some cover in the shower the bathroom floor gets wet and very slippery as the shower water goes everywhere. Our room was not cleaned may be because we did not flick the sign on to indicate that is what we wanted. We didn't realize.

We were a group and booked 4 rooms, visited from 24th March for 2 nights. Please don't go by what the pictures show in various online portals. The rooms given to us on ground floor were extremely dirty and washrooms were stinking heavily. After much hue and cry, we were shifted on 1st floor rooms, where washrooms were atleast not stinking but needed an upgrade.
Food is pathetic and tastes really bad and extremely oily. Buffett breakfast is very limited and tastes really bad.
Pool is also not clean and could see pigeons drinking water from the pool.
Only advantage is the location as its walking distance to main tourist points in the city - 3-4 kms max.

This is truly a Golden place in the sun. The building itself is beautifully decorated. The rooms are cool and spacious. Breakfast and dinner buffets carry an array of western and traditional Rajasthani dishes, with an alla cart restaurant open 24/7 for everything else. The front dest can arrange rickshaws and camel treks etc., and all of tge staff are pleasant and very accommodating. The large L-shaped pool is clear and welcoming, as is the sunny garden, equopped with chairs and tables for relaxing any time. If your looking for a lovely and comfortable accommodation, this is the place.

Stayed 1 night at Golden Haveli some days ago. The room we were provided was spacious and clean , housekeeping response was prompt . There were some issues with hot water supply for which we had to call the front desk couple of times , we could not get hot water on the day we reached but got it next morning. One suggestion would be fix independent geysers in every room instead of a central boiler. The hotel is also being constructed with a lift / elevator in the process of being fixed and some new rooms being added hence the environment is a bit dusty. The hotel is slightly off the main road hence you need to have a vehicle at your disposal. Breakfast spread is limited but ok.
