In April 2013 I stayed at this hotel after doing a camel safari. They can offer somewhat expensive, but good camel safari's. They will take you to a place far away where less tourists are, and you can therefore really enjoy the nightly sky. The hotel is basic but good. They did made a small mistake with our booking though.... More

I found this hotel after a rather tiring bus trip when one of the hotel workers came onto the bus to ask if anyone needed a hotel. He wasn't at all pushy as is often the case in India. Several other tourists and I took him up on the offer and were driven to the hotel free of charge. I... More

We arrived in Jaisalmer as weary travels with the intention of doing an overnight camel safari in the desert. We got to the train parking lot and then bit a wall of touts punting their tours. After a battle through them we found a quiet spot to get our bearings. We were then approached by a very friendly man (Chandra)... More

My two friends and I stayed at the Roop Mahal back in late December. There were a multitude of reasons why I considered this my favourite place stay. One being the people and the price. I thought it was a great hotel with a spectacular view of the fort, it was clean, the water was hot and the staff were... More

Our experience was a blend of the other reviews you will read, mostly very good with a few buts. One thing we can agree on is the camel safari organised by Chandra the owner. He said "only you, real dunes, no other tourists, no litter", which we took with a pinch of salt but it was true! We paid 1250... More

I did not stay at this hotel, but its camel safari was recommended to me. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the three days and thought it was very good value for money. A driver took us out into the desert, away from Jaisalmer, to the village from where we set off on the camels, carrying all that was needed,... More

The room was good value clean and quiet with a really cute window seat. However the hard sell camel safari on arrival was a bit over the top although the tour itself looked Great. The alternative tour 3 1/2 hours in a jeep (which is not necessary as all the roads are kept in beautiful sealed condition by the army)... More

Roop Mahal was an overall bad experience that nearly ruined my time in Jaisalmer. Firstly, at the train station where I was bombarded by pushy guest house owners, I was told I was being taken to a different hotel than where they took me. Then when they found out I was too sick to take their overpriced camel safari they... More
