This hotel is really well placed for the magnificent fort, but also for the exotic bazaars and havelis in the town outside the fort. The management is really efficient, but also very friendly and welcoming. Don't be put off by the area outside the hotel, which is a mess. It's quiet, and that's the main thing. The roof top terrace... More

After having first checked out 3 other hotels in Jaisalmer which ranged from ghastly to disappointing, I was glad to have ended up at Shahi Palace which turned out to be the best of all my stays in India. Housed in traditional yellow stone building, the rooms are spacious, clean and beautifully decorated with wall hangings and colourful bedspread. But... More

The hotel is nice, they have a great terrace hotel. We stayed here on the 4th to the 6th 2012. Everything was fine until they suggested we catch our train to jaipur (which was to start from jaisalmer) from jodhpur as they had a vehicle going there to pick up a few of their other guests. They also said that... More

pretty ugly surroundings (garbage, car repair shops) but nice enough hotel. hot showers, very clean room, view of fort. didn't get a warm feeling from staff (it's not a homestay after all), but that's no big deal, we were just there for a night. view from rooftop restaurant though was unbelievable--you're gazing at a sunset-lit fort--dramatic! food was ok. overall,...

We had been in Jaisalmer 15 years ago and returned on 3rd February with a small party of friends. We had expected so much and were initially horrified by the approach to our hotel, past motor bike repair shops and the general litter India generates. Please don`t be put off by this, the four brothers who run the hotel are... More

The staff at Shahi palace are very helpful if a little on the slow side and the rooms are small but comfortable. Their rooftop restaurant was fantastic and we spent many an afternoon up there sipping chai. They have their own camel safari which I would advise not to take as it was a ripoff compared to what other travellers... More

We really enjoyed our stay in Jaisalmer over Christmas in December 2009. We liked it so much, in fact, that after travelling on to Jodhpur, we decided to turn around and come back! The rooms are very comfortable with fantastic beds and tasteful decor. The showers have good water pressure and hot water. The food ranges from very good to... More

I stayed at Shahi Palace for a few days and it was ace. Good food and rooms, together with a brill rooftop terrace overlooking the fort. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the 4 brothers who own the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend the overnight camel safari organised by the hotel, where we slept in the... More

This place has a cracking roof terrace overlooking the fort, and the guys who run it are great. We stayed for 3 days over New Year while preparing for the Rickshaw Run, and Ricky was brilliant in helping us located some stereo equipment, installation guys, and actually just about anything else you could want... Local prices guaranteed, which is a... More
