Our stay at Killa Bhawan was our favorite in 18 days touring Rajasthan. The hotels 8 rooms are unique and nook like with balconies, windowseats and nooks in all sorts of places. The staff is extremely helpful, warm and hospitable. The breakfast yummie and served on a terrace overlooking the town. It is nice to stay above the city overlooking the city absorbing the glow of the golden stones of which the city is built. A golden place in a golden city. Highly recommended.
Hello Hansi
thanks so much for your nice comment!!
It is indeed a lovely place and I'm glad it is recognised as such.
I hope you will make it again in Jaisalmer, and if you do so, please notify me!
Cheers

The rooms were beautifully decorated in traditional Rajasthani style. The views from the terrace were amazing, making you feel like Jaisalmer Royalty. We had a lovely breakfast on the terrace overlooking the fort and the whole of Jaisalmer.
The staff were amazing and were there to help with anything and everything. We really enjoyed just hanging out on the terrace watching the Jaisalmer busy-ness from above.
Dear Julia
Thanks so much for your kind review. Killa Bhawan is trully a beautifull place and I'm glad you got the essence of it! As for the staff, there are no words good enough to express their kindness & availability!
Hope to see you again, let me know if you plan to come back!
Cheers

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.
Gentile Isa
Grazie mille per il bel commento! Sono lieto sapere che avete ricevuto la miglior accoglienza in questo incredibile posto. Devo ammettere che ne sono molto fiero. La gentilezza di tutta la team al Killa Bhawan ne costituisce quasi la miglior parte! Spero rivederla al Killa Bhawan presto!
Migliori saluti

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
