    Could be cleaner, but at this price can't complain

    Very good value for money in a great location in the fort. The building is very atmospheric, and the camel trip they arranged was fantastic. Shiva the owner was very accommodating, meeting us at the bus plus allowing us an early check-in and late check out which we very much appreciated.

    Vehicle cannot go to the property after 9 AM till 7 PM, so people have to plan accordingly. However, the hotel staff was friendly, they dropped me on their bike. But carrying luggage on bike was a challenge. The room could have be better maintained.

    The location was inside the fort, everything was within the walking distance. The thrill of staying in an very old building , heritage ,but still needs improvement. Excellent Chai. Well courteous staffs.

    A little bit of scarcity of services. No AC in the room at disposal ( only on paid base), no toilet paper, no towel, at a point water was missing because the staff left the premise for 2 days and turn off the pump. The kitchen also is in dire conditions.

    The guest house is located directly inside Jaisalmer fortress. Perfect location and ambience. I got an upgraded room for the same price. Highly recommended the safari tour in the desert

    Elder brother is somewhat rude. He asked extra 300 (double the room rent) to switch on the AC, so we didn't.

    I think it's run by two brothers. The younger brother is awesome. We booked a budget room with only a fan, not AC. The temperature outside was too high (feels like 49C), so he offered to use the AC for free.

    The food - Pancake was pathetic. The hospitality even worse. It looks like a dead place where people are frowning if you stay. And the discrimination on the basis of nationality and gender is evident. May God bless them with wisdom.

    The owner, Shiva, goes out of his way to make sure your every need is met. He fetched us from the bus stop, organized our camel safari, took me on a personal tour if the fort, drove us to Bada Bagh and out for lunch. He was truly amazing! The rooms were spacious and delightful. Hot showers. Great food in the rooftop cafe. Overall a fantastic stay. Highly recommended.
