Amazing experience - best place to stay in Jaisalmer fort

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Dec 2020
A place where Heritage meets Luxury !!
We had a remarkable stay in Killa Bhawan during our time here in Jaisalmer. The property is probably the best in the fort, with a mesmerizing view of the city and the palace. We stayed in the suite room and we found it the right choice we made. We were picked up from the airport and were coordinated well in advance.

The hotel is well managed by Mr. Bhanu, Manish & Manu Maharaj. We enjoyed best in-class hospitality and the breakfast was awesome too. They also helped us with arrangements for sightseeing and recommending places to eat. We found that the prices were reasonable. All the services and communication had a personal touch. The room and entire property is great.

Couple of points to note:
1. Cars are not allowed inside the fort, so your luggage will be transferred separately (the transfer was flawless and completely managed by the hotel).

2. As the hotel is inside the fort, it does not have an elevator. But that will not be a problem.

3. The hotel does not have television and intercom facility, which we didn't miss at all.

Furthermore, I want to emphasize very kind and professional staff who helped us a lot. It is very safe and right in the center of everything within the fort. City Palace is just 2mins walk. I would recommend Killa Bhawan to everyone.

Hotel Killa Bhawan is a magical place set into the walls of the fort. Incredible views with lots of balconies, lovely rooms, the staff is extraordinary. They guided us throughout our visit on where to visit, where to eat. We felt like family. It’s incredible.

i stayed at this hotel 6-9 March and i can highly recommend it. The decor was amazing the room was decorated in a very authentic way and breakfast on the terrace was special. The staff were very kind as there was a mix up at the arrival at the airport caused by poor internet at a previous hotel in Udiapur but all was sorted out and it was safe and really delightful. The staff took very good care of me and i would really recommend this hotel if u are wanting to stay in the fort and u are travelling alone. It is extremely special and i thoroughly enjoyed my stay

If you want to have the authentic Jaisalmer experience, then this is where you want to stay. It's the most magical little hotel situated inside the fort. Every room is unique and fascinating. Everything was clean and comfortable. The staff make you feel like you're at home and could not be friendlier. I came here after a recommendation from a family member, and I'm happy I did!

Wow, what a place and what an incredible experience it was to actually stay in a real-life fort!! The whole hotel is beautifully renovated and decorated in traditional style. Our room had a wonderful window seat at least a metre wide on which you could sit and watch the world going by in the town below. In fact there were loads of lovely places to sit and relax, the rooftops are stunning and a wonderful place to have the great breakfast. All the staff were really kind ... nothing was too much trouble ... we felt really cared for, thank you

Hello

Thanks so much for you very kind feedback!
Jaisalmer fort impressed me so much years ago, I could not resist living there.
And I'm glad now to share this dream-come-true place with others.
Not to forget the lovely family and boys handing it.
Please do come back and let me know if you do so.
