Good hotel near Dhibba Par fort

The hotel ambience and design is very eye pleasing. You get a very good view of the fort. The toiletries were bare minimum( only bathing soap was provided).

economical stay

we reached hotel in the evening from Jodhpur, We checked in. the owner was co-operative and friendly, the room was perfect as seen in snaps. the cottages are along the swimming pool on the ground floor, the rooms in hotel have visual connection only. dinner on the roof top restaurant with good ambiance and floodlit fort at as backdrop with folk songs was memorable [ though we would have appreciated laundered tablecloths and covers and limited menu than on menu card]. breakfast in morning was sumptuous buffet menu on first day but limited to egg and bread on the second day [may be we were the only guest ]. but the location near to the fort and market was really helpful. if the fort is floodlit take a walk around the fort at night and enjoy some surprising spell bounding visuals of the fort in golden stone

Nice hotel but completely overpriced

The hotel is close to the south gate of the fort so in a very comfortable position. Staff at the reception is unkind and always try to push you booking their camel safaris or their guide. Hotel is clean, breakfast average and all the facilities are quite good. Pool looks dirty. It's an average stay in Jaisalmer and it should have an average price. Unfortunately price is way too high compared to what the hotel offers.

Der Manager am Empfang hat sichtlich wenig Interesse an Gästen, sonst ist das Hotel aber bezüglich Lage, Ausstattung und Preis enpfehlenswert.
