The rooms are decent and simple but a great value. The food is okay although the Rajasthani thali is outstanding. But what made my time there memerable was chilling with Ali, such a gracious big hearted man with a million dollar smile. I look forward to heading back there someday to that enchanted desert, stare out at the stars from... More

As other reviews have noted this hotel isn't the Ritz, but then you are not paying for the Ritz, so have some perspective. The restaurant has the standard 'tourist' menu served at an above average quality, but as others have mentioned, it is worth visiting just to hang out with 'yeah man' Ali. He possibly has the most infectious and... More

The rooms are clean and mattresses are comfortable. I wish they had mosquito nets in the rooms though. The best part, though, is the roof top restaraunt with the amazing view of the fort. The brothers, Kamal and Ali, cook up amazing food and are always up for a chat throughout the day. Be careful, you could easily spend the... More

This hotel has a good location, and an ok blurb in the Lonely Planet, but the staff and room were horrible. I got the bigger, nicer room with windows facing the view of the Fort, but the room had no sink, and the toilet didn't flush properly. When I took a shower, the staff (all male) stand on the balcony... More

Because of work, I stayed in Jaisalmer for a few months. Many evenings, this was the place where I was coming to relax, have something to eat and drink. The prices of everything are one of the cheapest among the roof-top restaurants and the view is definitely the best. The location couldn't be better, it's right on the Gopa chowk,... More

We spend 5 days in Jaisalmer and came for dinner, lunch and a cooking lesson! We learned to cook a really Thali and tasted different dishes : everything was excellent and more cheaper than a lot of restaurants and with large portion sizes! We especially liked Ali who is always smiley and takes care of you. ....and everything with a... More

I spent one month at the Fort View so I had the chance to really see the goods and bads of the place. The location is ideal, right in the middle of the central market within steps of the fort gate. It must first be pointed out that the hotel and the restaurant are run by different management so I... More

This review is for the Rooftop Restaurant. You do get a good view of the Fort but for that I would not go through so much of theatrics and food swimming in Oil. We ordered for simple stuff and they just talk in some fake accent to assure quality and brings to you the same oily food you get road... More
