The Jaigarh Palace Jaisalmer

Ok

We arrived at 05:30 on the overnight train from Bikaner. The hotel was full the previous night so we couldn’t get a room at that time, but we were given somewhere comfy to rest and some water - and as soon as someone checked out the room was immediately made ready for us - by 09:00 :) A stunning room (107), comfy bed, great bathroom - brilliant value. The staff were great - giving us recommendations on must visit places, restaurants, tuk tuk and taxi fares. Location is good - 5-10 minutes walk to main attractions and fort. The hotel restaurant is very good and has amazing views of the fort. We arranged a night at a desert camp through the hotel - great organization, we were driven there by one of the hotel team and he checked throughout our stay that everything was ok. We left our main bags at the hotel while off in the desert, and they even gave us a room to rest when we got back while we waited to depart for our 15:30 train to Jodhpur. As I said at the start - a really excellent hotel, one of our favorites in India so far (and we’ve been here for 2 months)….

there is a massive gap between what is projected and what is reality. the rooms are poor and worse they are poorly insulated. they are at best just ok on cleanliness. the reality is that this site is in the middle of nowhere... much outside the main city. the food choices are extremely limited and my family did not eat here despite paying for our meals. I feel the real rate of the place is closer to sorts experiences are terrible to say the least. the manager tried to do his best but you can only do as much with a fairly bad property. I would not recommend this for families and especially for international tourists as this is a total rip-off
