Shahi Palace Hotel Jaisalmer

I stayed 11 nights at Shahi Palace and I just loved it. The owner Devilal is a genial host who is rightly proud of his hotel's reputation. Rather than resting on his laurels, he is always putting the work in to improve things. He really makes guests feel well looked after - for example, on finding out I'm gluten intolerant, he went out of his way to find me local snacks made with gluten free flours to try (they were delicious!) and even made some for me himself as well. He takes takes time to chat to guests, which creates a friendly atmosphere. It's the kind of place where guests talk to each other and you meet interesting people. Akshay, Sunil, Ketharam and the rest of the team do a great job, and their friendly, helpful attitude makes the hotel really stand out. The decor is lovely and there's a fantastic roof terrace restaurant with spectacular fort views. I was definitely glad to be staying outside the fort. For a start, water usage by hotels in the fort is causing serious conservation issues, but also, I just found there was too much tourist hustle in the fort. Visiting the sights there is fine but I wouldn't want to stay in that area. Shahi Palace is in a more peaceful part of town but is only about 10 minutes' walk from the fort gate. The desert trip organised by the hotel was magical. We visited a deserted village, oasis and fort before going for camel ride to the dunes where a tasty dinner was cooked for us in a peaceful spot away from other tourists. We headed back to the hotel for the night, but there was also the option to sleep in the desert under the stars. All in all, a fantastic stay and I would love to come back!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at hotel shahi place, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome with their warm hospitality. The check-in process was smooth and efficient. The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully designed, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was incredibly cozy, and I had some of the best sleep I've had in a while. Overall, I had a fantastic experience, and I will definitely be returning. If you're looking for a place that combines comfort, luxury, and great service, hotel shahi place is the place to stay in Jaisalmer

The owners and staff of the Shahi Palace go above and beyond to help you out during your stay and make you feel welcome - I felt completely at home here! It was lovely to be met at the railway station, even though my train arrived at midnight. The room was large and comfortable, it's quiet at night, and the view from the rooftop is gorgeous. I'm glad I stayed here rather than somewhere inside the fort, as it's a more relaxed neighbourhood and still within easy walking distance of everything.

Staff and managment, made us feel like family and did everything they could to help us prepare for Rickshaw Run adventures during our stay with them. They arranged for pickup at the airport for us. We had the pleasure of joining a overnight stay in Thar Desert with Shahi Camel/Desert safari. It included visiting Kuldhara, a oasis, local village, camelriding to a private dune, food made on bonefire and a night under the stars. We were able to see the Milky way and shooting stars. A night for the memory books.

Lovely hotel just outside the walls of the fort. The fort view rooms are great and the view from the rooftop over the fort and city are wonderful. Very nice restaurant on the roof, staff very friendly and good, especially Khetaram, who we really enjoyed chatting to. The place is family run and all members of the family were really kind helpful, Akshay offering us a lift to the desert festival and helping me sort out the posting of a parcel to Delhi. Would definitely stay here again.
