An Amazing place to stay

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 8 Dec 2019
This hotel is authentic but comfortable sitting high on the walls of the fort. The views are incredible and there is much to see and enjoy while you sit on the balcony enjoying your breakfast. We stayed in nine hotels during our trip to India and in this hotel we received the best service. Nothing was too much trouble.
Date of stay: November 2019
Room Tip: top rooms if possible where there is easy access to balconies,

Dear Susie
Thanks so much for your kind comment.
I'm glad you enjoyed my place and could appreciate the very special service that the "boys" offer.
Indeed, they are truly amazing, smiling, discreet and at your complete service!
I hope we will have the pleasure to see you again.

Staying at Killa Bhawan is like living in a dream! The hotel is located on the ramparts of a magical desert fort. There are 4000-5000 people living in the fort and life there is a unique mixture of living in the 21st and what I presume the 15th century was like.
Bhanu, who runs the hotel is extremely friendly and personable. He was very helpful in accommodating our last minute changes in travel plans. He's also a great conversationalist and told us a lot about life in Jaisalmer.
The room we stayed in at the hotel was unbelievably pretty with an awesome balcony from which there were spectacular views of the city! The tasteful decorations and concerted efforts to retain the character of the 500 year old building make it very atmospheric. The staff were super friendly and helpful too.
Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay and unwind.

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.

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.
