The Surya Paying Guest House

I stayed at this beautiful hotel located inside the Jaisalmer Fort, and it was a truly unforgettable experience. The rooftop restaurant offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the vast desert horizon. It’s the perfect place to soak in the charm of the Golden City in a peaceful and historic setting. The highlight of my stay was the warm hospitality of the owner, Yogi. He was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout my stay, always making sure I felt comfortable and well taken care of. I also joined the hotel’s overnight camel safari, which turned out to be one of the most memorable parts of my trip. Riding a camel through the desert and enjoying a campfire under the stars was an extraordinary and authentic experience. The facilities were also excellent — hot showers available 24/7 and reliable Wi-Fi. The courtyard and terrace were beautifully designed and seemed to be popular spots for photos. If you’re planning to visit Jaisalmer, I highly recommend this hotel for its unbeatable location, warm service, and unique experiences.

Absolutely fabulous stay at Lotus Havelli. Everyone was so accommodating and the room was pristine with comfy bed and bedding. They organised our carmel tour for us and also all our taxis. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The rooftop restaurant is also fantastic great food and breakfast and a wonderful view.

Stayed here for 2 nights. Location perfect and great views. Room was ok, no aircon as advertised. The staff were ok. Very helpful in allowing me to use the rooftop terrace before my train in the evening. All in all a good stay. Just be aware they don’t take cards.

Hotel is in a great location, minutes from the main shopping area and restaurants. Some of the staff were a bit dismissive. Compared to the other places I’d stayed this was unfortunately not the best. Communication with the hotel wasn’t very good, very slow to respond. It wasn’t a bad stay but could’ve been so much better.

The hotel at the end of going through the castle and climbing to the hill. You can enjoy the wonderful view more than anywhere else. You can also enjoy the restaurant in the best location. I was impressed by the wonderful and friendly staff and the hospitality of the owner's yogi. When I come to Jaisalmer, I will definitely use this place next time, and I will recommend this hotel to my friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Yogi!

Had a really nice stay at lotus, the staff where relaxed yet attentive and made us feel at home. Nice clean room with hot shower. Has a really nice courtyard sheltered from the wind with nice flower vines and pot plants, and a nice communal area overlooking the city. Great place to stay in the fort
