    Satisfactory and welcoming, it exceeded my expectations

    I didn't see any lockers, but maybe it was my fault for not asking where I could store my valuables. However, nothing of mine was stolen.

    Perfect location, although outside the fort, it was within a short distance from it and close to restaurants and local shops. I arrived at 6:00 am after a long train journey, and there was someone at the reception who promptly allowed me to check into my room, which was great since I was very tired. The place is calm and quiet, and the daily rate is really affordable. Breakfast is not included, but there is a rooftop restaurant with a wide variety of options at very reasonable prices, as well as an incredible view of the fort, both during the day and at night.

    Sometimes, they charge more money than the cost which shows in Booking.com, foe me they asking 150rs but actual price is 130 not for first day but 2nd day theh charged me little more and told me not extend your stay in Booking.com

    It's quite walking distance from the Fort, quite friendly environment, neat and clean room...its ok

    Nothing not to like

    I really enjoyed my stay at Explore Hostel. Location is elite, walk distance to everything. Room had everything. The hospitality of Amit and his staff were excellent and very welcoming. They provided free pickup from the bus stand and Amit helped me to organise/translate the details of my next destination. Due to health issues i wasn’t able to enjoy theirs safaris, but will come back for sure Would 100% recommend

    I booked 3 nights in the hostel and was very satisfied. It is a beautiful building with a roof terrace from which you have a great view. The food is very delicious. I slept in the dorm which was very clean (however,don't forget to tell the host to turn on the AC from outside.) The staff is very friendly. The host even took me to the railway station in the middle of the night. All in all,I would definitely recommend this place.

    The common areas could be more clean. And the rooftop wifi doesn't work too well.

    The dorms were comfortable and the space was great - the rooftop cafe is a nice place to chill and eat. The location was great, 10 min walk from the fort and market. The staff were very polite and helpful. I was traveling jaisalmer for the first time, so it was a pretty good choice and the hostel came highly rated. 10/10 recommend. They even have great options for desert safari tours.
