Fabulous experience!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Nov 2019
We arrived in India the day before then went to Jaiselmer. It was a great place to land and chill out for 3 nights. Manu was an excellent host and his staff made us feel right at home. All suggestions for restaurants and sight seeing was spot on. The rooms were amazing and we loved the location.
Date of stay: November 2019
Room Tip: The upstairs front room which is amazing is great but noisy at night if have windows open

Really appreciated the welcome we received and the service that was given in Killa Bhawan. Nothing was too much for the staff and they helped in every way possible!

We were upgraded to a suite with a terrific view; the place outside the suite was also private and felt like an extension of the suite. Breakfast is customised and has a homely touch.

Overall, this was the best stay of our 10 day Rajasthan trip and easily beats Fateh Prakash Palace in Udaipur, due to hospitality, and overall feel-good factor of a stay.

We spent 2 nights in this little jewel. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the fort and the city. Simply breathtaking. The hotel is beautiful, breakfast at the rooftop terrace is an experience in itself. And the staff is super friendly. We would have loved to stay much longer. Really wonderful.

It became the hotel you stayed in over the years also thanks to the lovely family you met there not to mention the lovely Nepali boys who took care of you.
Yes it is a gem and I do hope you will be able to come back to enjoy it more. Make sure you will notify me at that time.

We stayed 2 nights at the Killa Bhawan and was thrilled by its location high above the bustling life of the Jaisalmer fort.
The atmosphere, the view, the crinkly interior and not least the staff of the Killa Bhawan more than outweighs the lack of pool and other 5* amenities. The hotel is clean and the staff is always ready to serve you on any of the many small terraces where you rest looking at the stars hearing the faint noise of the below town.
The manager Bhanu was friendly, helpful and always ready for a chat explaining about Jaisalmer, Rajasthan and the life in India in general as was his brother Manu and mr Singh the tuc-tuc driver who was always ready to take us down the winding roads of the fort for a walk in the surrounding town.
So Killa Bhawan is definitely worth it.
Looking forward to go back one day.

When we made our booking for Killa Bhawan, we were not aware that the hotel is actually built in one of the bastions of Jaisalmer Fort. We were delighted, therefore, to be welcomed into a beautiful suite with two balconies, one of which has a spectacular view. We took our breakfast on the terrace, also with an extensive view. It was such a relief to return to our comfortable air conditioned room after our outings in the heat. Our three nights in this hotel were very relaxing. Thank you to the friendly informative staff for looking after us during our visit to Jaisalmer.

This hotel is the elder brother of KB Lodge so if you sleep in one you can go to the other have a complementary drink and enjoy the view which is very very good !

Banu, cousin of Ricky and manager of this one, is also a very good host/manager and provide the same over the top service than in KB Lodge
