A memory of lifetime

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 8 Jan 2020
Stay in a house in the only living fort in India is a must-have & this hotel is a very fine choice for the same. It has a wonderful view of the city which kept us mesmerized all the time during our stay.
The hospitality of the staff & it’s owner, Bhanuji is just out of this world. The welcome meal of the best kachori’s & ginger tea took care of all our tiredness.
Bhanuji arranged a wonderful heritage walk with his friend Mr. Lalit & he opened a whole new perspective of this heritage city & it’s social constructs. The best ever heritage walk for us.
In essence, a night stay here gave us more memories than 2 nights at Marriot. I would recommend it to all my fellow travelers for a memory of a lifetime.

Happy New Year ! And many thanks for your nice comment!
I'm delighted that you could appreciate Killa Bhawan and its marvelous staff.
I'm so lucky to have this family in charge in Jaisalmer.
Once my house, Killa Bhawan has truly become the pearl of the city and fort !

Hotel Killa Bhawan is THE top notch accommodation in Jaisalmer's Old Fort. Bhanu & Manu, the proprietors, make you feel right at home the moment you set foot in the hotel - literally, they are like "This is your home. Whatever you need, we will provide."

The staff is excellent, attentive and extremely resourceful. I can't speak more highly of Hotel Killa Bhawan and its team. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated. The view from the terraces is immaculate to enjoy a sunrise, sunset, or nightcap.

Hotel Killa Bhawan is truly a delight.

If you are looking for a great experience of living in a fort, this is the place to choose. You will feel at home. The people here, especially Mr. Bhanu and all his family members and staffs will make you feel at home during your entire stay. The view from the roof top is awesome. You can have a great view of the entire city and can relax on the beautiful sofa till late night, not disturbed by anyone. The morning breakfast especially the Parotha is very good. I will very strongly recommend to choose this property when you visit Jaisalmer for a great and unforgettable experience.

Killa Bhavan is 'The place' to stay if you are in Jaisalmer. The feel of the authentic rooms, lovely upholstery, breakfast served on the terrace (few choices but freshly made and healthy), evening views of the sunset are all so perfect to feel the vibe of this small town. We loved taking walks inside the fort during our stay here. You can easily spend 2 days doing nothing but just soaking in the past. Mr. Bhanu took us for a heritage walk, showed us his other property they are restoring, always there to look after and made us feel very comfortable!
The only thing that they do not serve meals is easily made up by other restaurants around, that they recommend you. I and my family would love to stay here again!!

We stayed for three nights, considering it is an old fort, it is well maintained. And the staff went out of their way to look after us. They were ready to make food for us at any time we wanted it. The room was traditional Havali type, and was very clean and comfortable. The views from the balconey were fantastic.

Room tip: All very similar
