Fantastic property, amazing hosts

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 24 Nov 2017
Incredible location inside the Fort, with stunning views of old Jaisalmer. Our room was beautiful, and so were the terrace and the rest of the property.

The best thing, however, is the service. We truly felt like Killa was our home in Jailsalmer, with everything we needed and much more. We were even able to leave our luggage there overnight while on a camel tour, and to use their facilities the next day before leaving the city.

Highly recommended: an oasis of peace in the middle of the busy and noisy Jaisalmer.

I should start by saying Killa Bhawan is not for everyone - it is not a 5* hotel with all the mod-cons (the shower could definitely be improved).. that said, it is an amazing experience staying in the walls of the fort and is a beautiful property.

Perhaps more importantly, the staff were fantastically friendly and made us feel very at home - in particular we went to the sister cafe which was excellent.

We also did the desert safari which was fun, though perhaps did not need the full 8 hours (stops en route are missable).

The hotel is absolutely beautiful, with the decor inkeeping with the heritage of the fort. After a night in the desert sleeping under the stars on a thin mattress with huge Beatles this place made me feel like a princess!

Situated inside the fort the hotel has a terrace which looks out onto Jaisalmer and the fort, stunning views.

The cafe connected to the hotel in Jaisalmer do one of the best Thalis I've ever had!

Only slight let down was that the shower was either a boiling dribble of freezing cold

Room tip: The rooms below the terrace are probably quieter as we could head the temple quite loudly late and early in the morning

A quirky gem of a hotel tucked into a corner of the old fort walls with amazing views and wonderful Indian decor. We arrived at Diwali time (festival of lights) and watched the fireworks from the rooftop. Our host Manu invited us to participate in the family and staff ceremonies for the festival which was a great highlight. Staff so friendly and attentive we felt quite at home! Breakfast simple but excellent.

Room tip: Choose a room with ensuite as steep stairs to rooms with share bathroom

Dear Kay

I'm so pleased you enjoyed Killa Bhawan!
It is a gem indeed! I tried my best to create it and, as you mentioned, the Jaisalmeri family in charge and the boys from Nepal add the grace and charm to make it shine..
Hope to see you again, cheers

We loved staying at Killa Bawan. Manu is a great host and the staff is very friendly and attentive. The property has a superb location in the fort, which isn't easy to come by when looking for excellent accomodations. Rooms have great views. Try an omelet for breakfast.

Room tip: Top floors have private roofdecks
