Hotel Jaisal Castle

At the fag end of Dec 2021, my wife, daughter and I arrived in Jaisalmer early morning by bus from Ajmer. Piku, the exceptionally hospitable hostess arranged for our pick up from the bus stop and transportation to her home in the Fort where she runs a small hotel which looks and feels like a homestay. Without the pickup , it may be difficult to find the first time round.

Jaisal Castle is the most wonderful and special place to arrive at. The rooms are gorgeous and comfortable, the owners and staff are all so kind and always there if you need anything. The design and attention to detail is absolutely stunning. Jaisal Castle cocoons you and the whole experience is like being hugged. Jaisalmer is a glorious town & Jaisal Castle gives you a touch of home in the warmth and sunshine whilst on your travels. The food is absolutely wonderful and you know you are in safe hands, especially if you are missing home cooking. Having breakfast and evening cofee on terrace is a delight. The view from room and terrace is amazing Highly recommended for those who want to live in fort and are looking for a peaceful, comfortable stay with delicious food.

Hotel Jaisal Castle has a distinction of being the oldest hotel in the fort of Jaisalmer. It was really an awesome experience- more due to the personal touch and service of the hosts. The entire place bears a semblance of a castle, or an old haveli. The roof top restaurant gives an amazing view of Jaisalmer City and a side of the fort. Guests do prefer to come over to the terrace once to enjoy the view and satisfy their photographic instincts. One can start the early evening by drinks and starters here and then move down to the courtyard for dinner, or alternatively can order dinner at the terrace itself. The place and its staff sure gives a homely feel and a personal touch. The ambiance and the décor is very authentic. The hotel has a home stay concept. Rooms and washrooms are clean and very well maintained. The food is worth a try as it is cooked fresh and savour the taste buds. Overall, a cool and awesome evening experience. Strongly recommended for stay as well dine out during your visit to Shonar Qila.

If you want the experience of living within old citadel city than this is one of the good choice. The service is good and overall very accommodating. Room size is ok but amenities could be improved a little.

Our hotel next door didn't have a restaurant so we ate dinner here. The owner or the person who served us, made us very welcome. The food was ok, not amazing, but ok. We also came back for breakfast and again the welcome was worth the trip. Very friendly!
