Magical

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 12 Apr 2019via mobile
We stayed at Killa Bhawan for two days, arriving by train very late at night and then leaving by train at one am. The staff arranged transport for us at these very unusual times, and all went seamlessly.

Bhanu and Marish arranged a lovely desert trip for us with camel ride and a freshly made dinner cooked on open fire by Manu. He even taught us how to make our own chapati!

Th views from the rooftops of Killa Bhawan are breathtaking, and having our breakfast there was very special. We almost didn’t leave to do our sightseeing as we were so happy enjoying the view. Everyone at Killa Bhawan was cordial, polite, and incredibly accommodating. Because of our experience there it was a highlight of our whirlwind tour of Rajasthan. Thank you, Killa Bhawan!

Located within the walls of the ancient Fort, extremely comfortable room, great view from the terrace for breakfast. Easy access with complimentary tuk-tuk. A perfect place to explore the narrow streets of the city.

When we arrived at the Killa Bhawan we were offered masala chai right away. The staff is really friendly and tell you that you are there as if you were in your home, that you can ask for anything at any time, they make you feel more as a guest than a client. I think we had the nicest room with a private little balcony, a lovely place to sit down and look at the fort and the city below.
The decoration is really beautiful and elegant, so lovely that I would have taken everything home with me, to the tiniest little things, like the statuettes, littles wooden chests, etc.
Breakfast was delicious, you can ask for anything, as much as you want, and be served wherever you want, whether it be on the little terrace or in the little salon near our bedroom. It felt like we were VIP’s and had the hotel and staff to ourselves. I highly recommend this hotel for the location, the beautiful decor and mainly the nice and helpful staff.

Room tip: Choose the only room with the little balcony

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay here at Killa Bhawan. As one of the owners' Mr. Banu said, "This is not a hotel, it is your home here in Jaisalmer". It certainly felt that way. It was a warm welcome during an unusually cold and windy time. Located in the Jaisalmer Fort, you will not be short of stunning views of the city. Killa Bhawan is clean, beautiful and comfortable. Their Indian breakfast (they have a continental breakfast option) was delicious. The continuous supply of chai and hot coffee is fantastic too! If you need a guide, the owners can hook you up with one. We were extremely lucky to have Mr. Lalu as our guide. I found him very interesting and warm. Overall, I think this is your best option if you're in Jaisalmer.

We absolutely love our stay in this quirky hotel ( old fort accommodation). Its just beautifully set as a part of hero gate fort in Jaisalmer and there is no better place to stay. Gorgeous and enormous terraces with sweeping view of whole city, fort palace and dessert beyond. Location was superb, you can walk freely to discover the old fort.
Staff was very kind and attentive and they made us feel like we were at home. They allowed us to stay for free till we had a late train to catch which was incredible helpful with our kid that needed to rest for a bit.
We stayed there for 3 night but could easily stay longer , as it is one of most interesting stay in Rajasthan.
