Desert Haveli Guest House

The location was fabulous, I really felt that I was inside the fort, not looking at it from afar. There are many places to stay around Jaisalmer but only 16 or so small hotels and guest houses inside the fort. I was lucky chose what I think is the best of them. I came in May, and even the locals were complaining that it was too hot (which of course it was). But the heat was dry which made it bearable, and there were refreshing breezes from the rooftop of the guest house in the mornings and evenings. Inside the fort the maze of small lanes reminded me of San Gimignano or one of those medieval hilltop towns. It was 'zero season' so almost no western tourists around. I walked along a path inside the perimeter wall and saw the boulders which were still on the parapets to drop on intruders. But I felt most welcome, mainly due to the proprietor of the guest house who organised my berth in a sleeper train to Jaipur at the end of my stay. It's a 13 hour journey but the airport is closed in low season. He also arranged a trip into the desert to see a half-forgotten temple complex at Kiradu dedicated to Surya the sun god. The whole thing was a magical experience which I highly recommend.

The host Dushyant was extremely warm, hospitable and helpful. In fact he organised my Sand Dune camping trip too right from the transport, safaris, boarding lodging etc.. The location is fantastic right in the heart of the Fort area . Dushyant also arranged for a very good guide named Saawan who explained the history of all the temples and monuments in detail. I had a beautiful room which extended to the terrace with a spectacular view of the Golden City. It was my first Solo trip which I will always cherish. I thank Dushyant and his team for making my trip a memorable one. Highly recommend this Haveli. I thank Booking.com too for having this property on their platform. Dushyant personally takes care of each and every guest. Infact he had organised my pick up from the airport till my drop off on the day of departure.. I felt at home being here.

Amazing stay in an old haveli within Fort Jaisalmer. It was our last night of 6 weeks travelling through India and it was amazing to stay in an authentic place like this as a final experience. Beautiful spacious room, very comfortable bed, hot shower, great view from the window. We wanted to do an Indian cooking class on our last night and we contacted the accommodation beforehand if they could advice us, and they arranged everything: we had the best authentic cooking class by a local family, a wonderful memory and we learned a lot. They also arranged a very affordable tuktuk ride to the airport at the last minute. All in all, great and memorable stay!

Amazing situation in the battlements of the fort at Jaisalmer. Host came fetched us from the 1st gate as no cars inside. Views are incredible over the surrounding countryside as we ate dinner and breakfasts their The host was very helpful and informative and when his staff forgot to include the laundry in the bill which he kindly waived it for us.

Our stay at Desert Haveli guest house has been perfect. The position inside the fort is wonderful, the building is perfectly mantained and the room was clean and comfortable. The staff has been really kind and they took very good care of us: despite was off season and the majority of restaurants were closed they provided tasty lunch and dinner and prepared breakfast on the terrace for us. They also organised a night in the desert that has been simply magic. Absolutely recommended!
