A wonderful hotel with a magnificent view of the fort, beautiful, comfortable, and spacious rooms. A perfect swimming pool, massages, a great rooftop restaurant, and personalized service from the entire staff — from the hotel owners to the waiters. I enjoyed every moment.

The hotel is a bit far from the fort (a 15-minute walk), but that didn’t bother me. You can also order a rickshaw from the hotel that will take you anywhere you want for very low prices ($1-3). The hotel owner doesn’t try to profit from transportation costs and charges only the local rate.

An incredibly enjoyable and comfortable stay at the Gulaal Hotel with an amazing view of the fort! We were blown away by the beautiful Haveli style architecture and finishings. Our room was spacious, clean, beautifully furnished and had the comfiest bed of our entire stay in India. We had a gorgeous balcony area with a view out to the pool and garden. It really felt like a home away from home. The staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed our morning meditation sessions with Virendra. He and Babu were amazing during our stay and organised a driver to take us out to the desert camps. Our driver Gulab was incredible and we would highly recommend staying here and booking any day/multiple day excursions with him. We would book this beautiful accommodation again in a heart beat. The pool, rooftop area, all the staff and food was all just amazing.

Nothing, it was all amazing.

EVERYTHING!! From the moment we (my husband and I) stepped on the ground, we fell in love with the place. It was already wee in the morning when we arrived but still Babu ( manager I guess ) greeted us warmly..🥲..Check in went on fast and smooth as we were already exhausted from a 12 hours train journey..😭😓..We were offered the best room they had and when we went in, all our tiredness and sleep went away. The room was extraordinary beautiful with different colours and the designs on the wall was so pretty that I felt like staying in it for the rest of my life!! 😁.. The room had an extra space outside before it opens to another empty area (like a balcony but more spacious) which had stairs that led us to their small clean garden and swimming pool. Breakfast was also included and of course the choices were many and the taste was delicious. We had dinner on our last night and we regretted that we did not had more of it. Their cook is definitely an excellent cook!! ✌🏼😃.. The whole place can be used as an excellent place for photography because it’s EXTRAORDINARY BEAUTIFUL, PEACEFUL, and the most important part is the people in it. They were helpful, informative, honest and respectful. I can continue commenting but I got to stop now..😅..You may a Google it and I will surely give my appreciation and thanks to each one of you!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Definitely NOTHING!!!!

Great location and fantastic hospitality, warmth by Virender ji and Babu Ji. Also, entire staff at the restaurant like Shibu, Singh, Biswajit were very helpful. Food preparation is extremely fresh, hot and delicious. Rooms are spacious and super clean. Very safe place and they help to organise autos for local city trips and long distance like longewal with their vehicle and driver Ghulab Singh who is very helpful too. Strongly recommend and will definitely stay again here.

Beautiful Haveli just outside on the main market area We only stayed for a day - didn’t sleep there as had an evening train - but wanted somewhere during the day after camel safari. Our room was spacious and clean and beautifully presented. The staff exceptionally helpful. The even had their driver take us to the station and help us on the train. The menu was good, had some Chinese dishes as well as Indian - made a pleasant change. ( vegetarian menu) We chilled by the pool and enjoyed a good massage in the spa. We were very pleased with our decision to stay here.

Nothing

Everything 😊. It is an outstanding property that is made in the traditional Rajasthani style and perfectly blended with all modern facilities. The rooms are beautiful, very spacious and have a completely traditional decor. The location is excellent with a beautiful view of Jaisalmer Durg ( Fort) from the terrace restaurant. The owner Shri Virender displays authentic Indian hospitality and was ever ready to help out with any extra need we had. The restaurant offers wonderful and delicious food. They have a lovely and perfectly maintained pool and a Spa alongside which offers a fantastic Ayurvedic Massage - We all went for it 😊. I would strongly recommend Gulaal Haveli to everyone who wants the perfect stay in Jaisalmer.

Staff - so, so helpful. Nothing was a problem. They sorted our laundry, helped us with transport to station for late trains, and even threw in a complimentary breakfast. It was a lovely welcome from the moment we stepped in. The hotel - this is a stunning building; new yet made in the old Haveli style. Rooms are huge and grand, with marble bathrooms and amazing balconies. It really feels the part. The pool area is a highlight and we found it a perfect place to chill after a long morning. The rooftop restaurant has a great view of the fort. The food - we only had breakfast here but it was really nice. Especially the local Chola and the coffee, which was some of the best we've had in India.

Location outside the fort isn't great for everyone but we liked it cos you get those rooftop views. Water pressure is so good it actually hurts!

Gulaal Haveli is a beautiful luxury boutique hotel. From the moment you enter the Haveli you feel like you have stepped back into another era. The decor, the warm welcome, the service, the staff, room, pool, breakfast all was impeccable. My husband and I absolutely loved it and would highly recommend if you looking for an authentic Haveli experience. The views of the Fort, sunrise and sunset was absolutely divine. Breakfast was super delicious. Virendra and Babu helped us organise sightseeing, car and driver to Jodhpur. All of it was seamless. The tour guide they organised Ganesh was amazing. We spent so many hours together and got a real sense of Jaiselmer.

The rooms were large and very clean. Virendra was a caring and attentive host who checked in with us frequently. Shibu at the restaurant was friendly and hard-working. Please make sure to tip the staff as you go along. They deserve it! The private desert trip that we arranged through the hotel was a once in a lifetime experience with a camel ride, sunset on the sand dunes and a freshly cooked vegetarian meal served under the stars!

It would nice to have a newer treadmill and stationary bike in the small gym

The staff were so lovely and the suites were huge. Showers were nice and hot and large. The swimming pool was a nice addition, even though it was freezing water due to time of year it was nice to relax by the pool. We enjoyed the breakfast and rooftop to view sunset. There was a lovely view of the fort as well. Slightly out of the centre so was nice quiet and peaceful.

Orientation of the pool meant no real sunlight, so only a small window for direct sunlight and warm water to swim in. No parking inside the hotel walls, so had to look for alternative arrangements. Maybe make this a bit more explicit as although the listing shows free parking, it is not in the safety of the hotel. There is no driver facilities due to no real parking area.
