    Great spot, great personnel. And they organized my trip to the desert with mastery. The stay in the desert was amazing, really simple, not the luxurious thing, but rather an authentic experience, under the stars and close to the nature. They helped with everything I needed so that I couldn’t feel lost in Jaisalmer.

    I can usually find something that can be improved, but not this time!

    Can’t rave enough about our stay. We felt like royalty in a palace. Great value for money. Lovely, helpful staff. Beautiful views. Amazing vibe and location. All-you-can-drink chilled bottle water. Brilliant breakfasts - definitely try the local dishes.

    Nothing, it was perfect.

    This was my favorite accomodation of my trip through Rajasthan. The hotel is very tastefully decorated and beautifully located. Having breakfast and doing yoga at the terrace with a view on the fortress was magical. The owners of the hotel are super kind and welcoming. I truly felt at home and would highly recommend anyone visiting Jaisalmer to stay at Killa Bhawan

    We are return visitors to Killa Bhawan. Beautifully situated inside the fort, it's a really special heritage hotel. Nothing is too much for the staff. Highly recommended for a visit to the fairytale yellow sandstone fort that is Jaisalmer. The Jain Temple complex is one of the three most highly regarded Jain sites in India, along with Mt Abu and Ranakpur.

    They will help you get your luggage to and from the hotel, just know you aren't being dropped off at the front door (they can't because of rules of the fort). We didn't mind and had a great time, they will help you, just know.

    It's a once in a lifetime experience to stay in a big working fort and the hotel is in a prime location to see everything, including the beautiful city. The hotel manager made great recommendations on everything from sunset cocktail, to restaurants, to shops. They make you feel right at home.

    Our only slight comment was the room, we had no 7, was on the small side and the bathroom was very small. But if this is the only room available I wouldn’t let it put you off staying.

    The staff - helpful and friendly. Made us feel very welcome and happy to help with requests, such as keep our luggage while on camel safari. The breakfast - fairly simple but fresh. Fruit, cooked eggs, toast and jam. Tea or coffee. Served on the veranda with a beautiful view. And served at what ever time suited (so for us after viewing the palace and 2 temples in the morning while quiet) The location - set up high within the fort. We could see all the goings on below but in a calm environment.

    Absolutely fantastic place in which you live in the history of the amazing Jaisalmer. The hotel comprises 3 of the 99 towers in the fort wall, overlooking the palace and the entrance gate. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. They made the hotel feel like a family home. The roof terraces on top of the towers are wonderful sun spots for relaxing, breakfast and site seeing. The cosy courtyard and lounges provide retreats for when it is a bit chilly or way to hot.

    This was the last stop on our trip and this is the best hotel I ever stayed. I couldn’t be more impressed with this hotel. The entire place was spotlessly clean. The staff were incredibly hospitable, always going out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed. The location was perfect, with easy access to nearby attractions, restaurants—making it convenient and enjoyable. And the service was outstanding! Every interaction, from check-in to check-out, was smooth, friendly, and professional. This hotel truly sets a high standard. I can’t recommend it enough and would definitely return!

    The location is extraordinary. Staying inside the fort in a beautiful heritage room overlooking the crowds was very special. The breakfast was delicious , the staff are delightful and it was the perfect place to stay in Jaisalmer. Bhanu is the perfect host and he was incredibly helpful organizing the desert safari - which is a must - and for generally just being so friendly. It felt like staying with family.

    Our stay at Killa Bhawan was fantastic. Such a great and unique experience to stay in this old house in the fort. The view are really amazing, and the rooms were lovely; our kids loved it! Bhanu and the rest of the staff were super helpful and gracious. Bhanu set us up with a fort tour and desert safari, and also provided airport pickup and dropoff (additional charges applied). We had breakfast at Killa Bhawan; the food was quite good, made to order (eggs/omlettes, fruit, toast, tea, etc.). They also provide safe drinking water. All and in all a wonderful experience. We were there in December, and it does get a bit chilly. The rooms are equipped with space heaters, and they provide ample blankets. The rooms stayed reasonably warm, but some may feel a bit chilly.

    N/A - everything was wonderful

    Spectacular views of the fort and surrounding areas, so many little seating areas in both the rooftop and hidden away to enjoy quiet drinks, reading or a nap! Service was stellar and very attentive - the owner arranged for a guide through the fort and village, he was one of the highlights of our trip to Jaisalmer.

    The bathroom was small and the water pressure was low and pressure was not sufficient for hand shower. Other than this minor inconvenience everything else was great. Much Older people may have trouble stepping in to the shower over a step

    Location!Location! Location! I could see the fort from my window and it was beautiful. It was right next to the main square and so it was easily accessible.

    There was nothing at all that did not please us.

    We highly recommend this hotel. The staff was outstanding, and very eager to be sure that we were happy with every aspect of our stay. We booked a dinner at the hotel and were very pleased with the quality of the meal, much of which was sourced from the hotel keeper's own garden. The food service is strictly vegetarian and no alcohol is served, which suited us very well. The room was lovely, updated to modern standards, and perfectly clean. There was a small shop in the lobby where you could purchase textiles without the pressure of the street vendors. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
