You have to stay at this place to experience of the luxury of a fort!

Sitting on the balcony of a fort and having food and drinks amid candle light was a beautiful experience. We sat through on the balcony for almost like five hours both at the night and in the morning. They do not provide dinner or lunch but they give breakfast on order. They might help you by bringing the food from other place.

Our room had a small window with a sitting space. You could just look at the entire city for hours without getting bored. We heard that someone stayed in that room for many months and came out with a book!!! Isnt that amazing :)

The place is beautifully adorned and the bathrooms are very clean. The place has a captivating smell of incense that they keep lighting. You can order tea as much as you want to. Hotel staff and administration is very friendly and supportive.

This was an exceptional hotel (only 8 rooms) in the Jaisalmer Fort. From what I could tell, all of the rooms were quite nice and tastefully decorated with local tapestries and artifacts. My room had a shared bathroom, but there was never anyone else in it, in spite of the hotel being full. Breakfasts were great and I felt like I could order whatever I wanted. I tried the "pancake," which was more like a crepe with bananas and honey...very delicious. Over the three days I was there, along with the pancake I had fresh fruit (a large serving, so be aware of that), fresh-squeezed orange juice, eggs and an omelet and, of course, plenty of chai or coffee. I requested a croissant and they went to the German bakery not far away to get one for me. I don't think the croissant is worth the special trip as the food at the hotel was better than the croissant. The staff were wonderful, friendly and very accommodating.

An important thing guests should be advised of, which I believe is an issue throughout most of Jaisalmer, is that the electricity seems to go out daily. At least it did each of the three days I was there. It was mostly in the morning and for not that long. However, there was no back-up. I'd recommend they put candles or lanterns around for people when that happens. (Also, you need to turn the hot water heater on for 10 minutes prior to showering, so no electricity could affect your planning!)

Finally, as in a lot of Jaisalmer, to get to some of the rooms and getting around the hotel, there are steps to climb, but not too many. I was surprised that in Jodhpur and Jaisalmer there were so many steps, and some of them quite steep. It wasn't a big issue for me, but if I had knee or other health issues it's something to be aware of.

Whatever inconvenience the electrical outages were, my stay there was well worth it, and I'd go back in a heartbeat!

Inside the beautiful Jaisalmer fort, an oasis of peace only a few steps from the bustling main square. Nicely decorated room--we had one of the rooms with a private bath, has both A/C and heating (we didn't need that even though it was end of December).

Another big bonus: the terraces overlooking the fort and the city where you can relax, enjoy a drink or a book and in the morning the breakfast is served there.

Don't expect a 5 star luxury hotel, but the place has its own magic, highly recommended.
