We were warmly welcomed at the crack of dawn upon arrival at 6AM. The staff made sure we were comfortable and gave us blankets in case we wanted to have a quick snooze while waiting for our room to be ready. The room was amazing. Great view from our balcony, over the whole of Jaisalmer. A high level of service... More

When else would you get a chance to stay in a living fort? Some reviews speak of a cow dung urine odor near the fort. Cows and animals are everywhere in India, and you will encounter some inside the fort, but we didn't encounter any smells that bothered us within the hotel. Hotel Garh Jaisal's rooms are all uniquely furnished.... More

I stayed at Garh Jaisal in mid April 2012, and loved every moment. The hotel is beautiful - tucked into a corner of the fort wall with fabulous views from the upstairs terrace. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. The experience was a real home away from home. Mukeish the owner was a wonderful host... More

We had originally booked to stay one night at this hotel and then scoot off to Jodhpur, but after meeting Mukesh and his staff, and seeing just how lovely this hotel was, we had no choice but to extend our stay an extra evening. The food was delicious, the staff was super friendly, attention to detail, and their desire to... More

I had spent two years in Rajasthan (Udaipur) as a post-graduate student, and have been in love with Rajasthan almost ever since. I took up photography as a serious hobby about 10 years later ... and my wandering camera took me to the wonderful dune land of Jaisalmer. I also visited the grand spectacle of the dainty Demoiselle Cranes at... More

We stayed 2 nights in early March 2012 in the Green room (all rooms are different). Overall it was a great stay, we would highly recommend it. Pros: - The Green room is very charming, with a beautiful covered balcony overlooking the city (facing East) – great for reading! - The Hotel is built inside the fort, right along the... More

This unique and beautiful hotel is a great find in the heart of Jaisalmer. Situated right inside fort and bazar. You don't need to hire transportation to see most of the sites. This georgous old haveli is very well decorated with antiques and photo's of the royal families. The rooms are large and comfortable. The bathrooms are huge with modern... More

When we unloaded our luggage from the car to catch a tuk tuk into the fort I looked up at the fort wall and saw a few stone balconies looking out over the city and wanted a room with one of those balconies. Well I got it, these are the balconies from the Hotel Garh Jaisel, fitted out in velvet... More

We loved our stay at the Garh Jaisal. It has the best view in town of the fort and is actually IN the fort. (How many places in the world can you stay in a fort, at any cost?) The staff was helpful with everything, offering coffee or tea free at any time of the day and giving us a... More
