This small hotel is in a historic building located inside the fort. Our room 'Red Maharani' had commanding view overlooking Jaisalmer. There is an excellent rooftop restaurant upstairs that has even better views and great food. Breakfast is included. The rooms and the restaurant are accessed through steep stone stairs and thus this hotel (and indeed all of Jaisalmer) are not suitable for guests with mobility issues. Also, i would not recommend this hotel if you have toddlers who misbehave, since the railings are low. This hotel is perfect for adults and those with older children.

What a fantastic experience! The staff was lovely, helpful and friendly. The location of the hotel is perfect: far enough from the tourist madness in the main fort area, but close enought hat everything is within walking distance. The view from out room overlooked the entire cityz and it's quite a sight to behold. They offer masala chai on the house, and it's among the best I've ever had.

A great choice!
We loved this hotel for a number of reasons. The staff , especially the man who served us at breakfast and dinner (should have got his name ) were all friendly, helpful and considerate. The room was full of character and comfortable, and there were other seating areas around the building that we could use.There was hot water all day. From our windows, we had a great view down to the main entrance gate of the fort. The roof garden and restaurant area were fascinating places to sit and people watch from on high, and the breakfast pancakes were particularly good! The hotel is on a little dead end so a bit quieter than many others.

Namaste Pol, Thanks for your feedback. We would like to clarify about the Orange Juice. There is no water in Orange Juice. No Ice, No sugar, No water as we get oranges from well known garden and always fresh as we use old style hand machine so you don't get the taste of seeds also. I can apologies for the taste you might have felt as per different season we get different fruits as we live in Desert so we get Malta, Oranges, sweet lime but we can 100% be assure and guarantee for not mixing anything in the juice and we don't suggest any other juice as rest of them are cans which we clearly immediately with the guest. We look forward to serve you better in future with more choices. Thank you

Amazing Hotel Puts You On Top Of the Fort
This hotel is nothing short of amazing if you are planning a visit to Jaisalmer. It is not one of the branded hotels where you are going to earn points or status for staying, but with only 8 rooms and a staff of 4 or 5 people you get unparalleled customer service the likes of which we have experienced at other 5-star properties across south Asia. Especially helpful is Tarun at the front desk and the cook who is from Nepal. These guys go out of their way to make your stay truly unique and special, right down to organizing flowers and a custom roof top dinner for our third anniversary which we celebrated in Jaisalmer. You don't need to stay in the desert camps to get a very unique and enriching experience with these guys. Their rooftop has amazing views of the city and built in couches so you are actually on top of the fort looking out over Jaisalmer. We had a great experience in this hotel and the breakfast options alone are worth the stay (excellent continental, Indian, and even Nepali food if you ask for it!)

Inside the fort, in a 500 yr old house
Hotel building - It is a small building with just 7 rooms and is part of the fort itself. Amazing views of the city from the room and the roof top restaurant. The rooftop attracts a lot of other tourists/photographers who are not staying in the hotel. Staff - Very friendly and accomodative esp. Mr. Tarun. They did not charge us for Tea and mineral water bottles (which we did order a lot assuming it is chargable ). They arranged for our pickup from the taxi stand and arranged for our drop to the railway station as well, which was very helpful. Amenities- there are no luxury amenities (TV, pool, etc) but you will not miss those. They arrange for camel safari as well. There was a small goof up in the safari we booked, but it was third party's fault so cant blame the hotel for that.

Best hotel in jaiselmer
This hotel was one of the highlights of our trip. It is a beautiful haveli right in the old fort and from the second we arrived Tarun the owner and manager and his wonderful staff did everything in their power to give us a special stay. Tea coffee water and little snacks were included and they couldn't do enough for us. The views were magnificent and our only regret is we couldn't stay longer. Thank you to everyone at the hotel.

Great hotel, great staff
We thoroughly enjoyed our one night at this hotel. It has a great character and is wonderfully decorated. Our room was large with great views of the fort and a big bathroom. The staff were friendly and helpful, though the food service is a little slow. We checked out to go on a camel safari and they kindly looked after our bags as well as letting us use a room to shower in and relax when we had returned from safari. They were also great at giving us a lift to our departure point from Jaisalmer.

Vantage Place for a Great Jaisalmer Experience
The most magnificent view one could wish for in the beautiful city of Jaisalmer. Located inside the fort, this is the best choice if you want an authentic experience. Tarun who owns the place was super efficient and genuinely helpful in all aspects of getting me familiar to the city, local tips things to do, planning my desert safari. The staff was very prompt and caring. Travelers tip. Very critical that you call the hotel to arrange for your pick up from the station or wherever. The hotel is inside the fort and vehicles aren't allowed. It's a steep climb up. But the hotel will be happy to arrange for your getting there.

Nice hotel in the heart of the fort.
Hotel Garh Jaisal haveli is a great little oasis in the vibrant and chaotic fort. Family run, the staff were so friendly and helpful. The roof top dining area had spectacular views of the city. The quiet a/c rooms were a great antidote after hot and tiring days sight seeing.

Great staff and beautiful property
This hotel gets our highest recommendations. What gives the hotel a truly great feel is the amazingly friendly and helpful staff. They truly made the visit special and helped us arrange everything from intercity transport and an overnight desert tour. The hotel is located in a quiet and cozy part of Jaisalmer with stunning views of the fort and Thar desert. The property is charming and very well kept. Rooms are comfortable with great decorations. We can also highly recommend to arrange desert trips and camel safaris through the hotel - they will surely take good care of you, and ensure an authentic experience.

Bellissimo hotel nel forte e personale squisito
Splendido hotel all’intern del forte di Jaisalmer direttamente a ridosso delle mura e con una vista splendida della città. Camere piccole (poiché ovviamente si è dentro un forte) ma fantastiche perchè caratteristiche e tutte dotate di una finestra con divanetto e vista sulla città. Personale gentilissimo e disponibile.

Ein wunderschönes Hotel in einer alten Festung. Super ausblick von der Terasse und vom Zimmer. Zimmer passend zur Festung eingerichtet-ebenfalls wunderschön. Super Service, sehr locker, aufmerksam, hilfreich. Kostenlose Abholung vom Bahnhof. Kostenloses Mineralwasser die ganze Zeit. Uns wurde mit verschiedenen Buchungen wie z.B. zug oder Safari geholfen. Sehr zu empfehlen.
