Best hotel in Jaisalmer

The hotel was very clean. The food available was fantastic and very varied including local Rajasthan dishes. Our room had an upstairs sitting area with a view of the fort. Whilst everything was perfect the best part were the staff from the guy who made my Indian breakfast to the manager who gave us sandwiches when we left. We were only able to eat one evening at the hotel but the food, service and view of the Fort was perfect. Nothing is too much trouble for the wonderful staff.

Amazing service. Staff is very nice and caring. The owner, Manoj, is very friendly, a pleasure to talk to and takes care of all guests. We enjoyed this stay very much, it felt like home. The rooms were spacious and very nicely decorated.

Really lovely service and the location cannot be beat!

great service!!

Nice hotel and very good staff. They’re treat like family ☺️😇

Good stay. Staff and service was good. No complaints.

When greeted at 1st Gate Home Fusion, we were told that we may have arrived as guests but we will leave as someone a part of their family and they couldn’t have put it better. Everything about this place is so homely, from the vibe, the staff and the décor. When deciding to choose a place to stay at Jaisalmer we were torn between inside the fort or outside and owing several reasons we chose the latter and glad we were to do so. Located just outside the fort entrance, 1st Gate Home Fusion has the incredible advantage of location-you can choose to walk to the fort for a sunset and sunrise or head out to the several places in Jaisalmer. The rooms here receive a special mention-no two rooms are alike when it comes to décor, extremely tasteful and eye pleasing, with larger windows, unlike most places to stay at Jaisalmer. There is a gym, several seating areas, a pool and a very friendly dog, Simba! The breakfast is good and the unlimited tea and coffee and cookies, cake and water bottles are a splendid addition. The reviews that we read mentioned about the Italian restaurant being the best in Jaisalmer and it is entirely true. They serve Italian, Indian and some Rajasthani delights too. If there, do try out their special coffee! I must mention the courteousness of the owner who proposed to pack us food when we were leaving for the airport after a hearty lunch there although we had checked out a day earlier to stay at a desert camp. Highly recommended!

Excellent fusion hotel

The hotel looks lovely and is ideally situated. Close to the Jaisalmer fort and walking distance to other sites. Food especially the pizzas was good… it is a veg hotel though! Beautifully designed rooms and sit outs . Very friendly staff. Sumptuous breakfast . Overall excellent!!

Indian Wedding

From the moment we arrived until we checked out, the attention to detail and hospitality was excellent. We stayed in five different properties in India and this was by far the best.

Wonderful

Wonderful hotel with a friendly, helpful staff. They helped arrange a day trip out into the desert and a half day tour of nearby temples. I really enjoyed several massages at the hotel spa after some hard days touring. And the breakfast buffet and rooftop restaurant lunches and dinners were delicious. You csn’t Go wrong at First Gate!!

Everything was fantastic, the staff were amazing, they could not do enough for you.

An outstanding boutique property with every detail designed to make a desert visit comfortable.

Supurb

The general manager told us to consider the hotel has our home in Jaisalmer even though we were there a day early and only wanted to store our luggage while we went on an overnight camel safari. They would hand us bottles of water every time we left the hotel reminding us that we were in a desert. When I ask for help to get something to take to dinner that we had been invited to, the manager sent someone to a bakery to pick up a box of cookies for us. When I needed to exchange money, they sent someone to the money exchange and brought us money. Physically the hotel has a spa, indoor pool, weight room, steam room , And a library of books to borrow. There is a rooftop restaurant with a panoramic view of the fort. But it is a service that makes this a world class hotel.

Staff were extremely pleasing & ready to assist in any way. The food was delicious. Proximity to the Fort was fantastic. Only minor problem was the lack of WIFI so if you have no expectations of that then this is the place. Highly recommended!!

It’s an awesome property and very unique.The Aminities are very distinct,loved it

Property is in the perfect location to enjoy all Jaisalmer has to offer. Rooms, restaurant, and all common areas are spotlessly clean. Staff are personable, professional, and willing to do whatever it takes to make your stay memorable. Room amenities replenished daily. Excellent food in rooftop restaurant. Simply put: one of the best hotels we used since arriving in India. A job very well done. Thank you Federica and staff.

Wonderful place to stay and dine while in Jaisalmer. This is a beautifully appointed boutique hotel in the heart of Jaisalmer. Fantastic staff of the manager, Chandan, and Punkaj and all the staff. Do not miss Punkaj’s fantastic tour of the Fort and the city. It was a highlight. The owners, Frederica and her Indian partner have done a magnificent job of blending architecture and art to make this a very comfortable place to stay. There are great public spaces to read or just lounge after your camel outing or visit to Jaisalmer Fort. The hotel even has a small, well-appointed gym—including the smoothest elliptical machine ever. The rooftop restaurant, with all its delicious meals and top-notch service, is not to be missed. The view is simply fantastic along with the music. It’s an all-veg menu, but even for this omnivore it was great. The pasta and pizza are particularly note-worthy along with the myriad delectable Indian dishes. A gem of a place. It reminds one of Santa Fe but in the Indian desert area of Jaisalmer. This combination firmly installs First Gate at the top of any list for discriminating globe travelers.

Absolutely recommended

Great boutique hotel with best location , from an architect’s view, excellent taste and attention to small design details and decor. Also, great hospitality from staff, that went over their heads to make us feel comfortable. The roof restaurant is very good. Deserves much more then it’s three and a half stars.

Great location at base of fort close to its entrance, with lovely view of fort from rooftop restaurant. Rooms were very large and really homely. Bed was really comfy. Staff lovely and extra touches nice e.g. free teas and cake in afternoon and all food and drinks in room were free. Our only disappointment was the restaurant, we thought food was only average for the price and breakfast was not served on rooftop. Overall we’d definitely recommend this hotel to stay in.

I liked everything about this hotel.

The staff were like our real friends, they did not fake it. They also helped in booking our tour of Rajasthan, and our camel safari. Their food was very delicious, and it had a Rajasthani taste, it really brings out the culture. Overall, I would say this hotel is worthy of 5 out of 5 stars!

Amazing experience

Staying at the 1st Gate hotel has been an excellent decision. We couldn’t have felt more at home. Every staff at the hotel made sure we got even more than we needed. The facilities are so beautiful, every detail has been carefully chosen. All is nice. The restaurant on the terrace is also worth visiting . We highly recommend this hotel.

Desert Rose

1st Gate Home Fusion is a rose in the desert. In fact, the style, architecture, décor reminds me a lot of the type of accommodation one would find in the American South west like Utah or Arizona. The desert like hotel blends right into its surroundings for the famous fort. Modern, sleek, crisp. I had a great room with a nice balcony with view of fort. The Jaisalmer fort is a 5 minute walk from hotel. Room very nice, modern, very clean except someone needs to dust underneath the furniture. Nice comfortable bed. Spotless bathrooms. Nice TV and small fridge enhanced my stay. Premium room, what I had, a little on the expensive side but worth every rupee. Staff super efficient and nice. I like to be made to feel welcome and that the staff went out of their way to do so. I rate this hotel a 4.8 so let’s just say it is a 5 star rating for hotel. Management in process of finishing up a nice health club and spa. The owner always had a warm smile. Food at breakfast could have been more varied with Indian type food. The dishes were sometimes empty so you had to ask for more food. This was taken care of right away. 1st Gate Home Fusion is 1st rate. Safe, secure, my room was quiet. I wish I could have stayed longer. Lastly, I had an 8 hour drive from Jaisalmer to Udaipur and needed a pillow to rest. During his break, the manager went out and bought me a great pillow for my journey and I gladly paid him for his efforts as well as for the pillow. Stay Nov 16 to 19.

Memorable trip to Golden City

The hotel is set right next to the Jaisalmer fort & the view in the night from terrace is just wonderful. The staff at the hotel is very courteous & are willing to go extra mile for customer service & satisfaction. It really follows the principle of - Customer is King. All the important places of the city is easily accessible from the hotel with market also within walking distance. A great place to stay whenever you plan to visit the historical city of Jaisalmer.

Wonderful Hotel

This was the best hotel we've stayed in India - and the best hotel I've stayed in a long time. Not only the whole facilities is great and well maintained; room is spacious, bed is super comfortable, shower has great water pressure; breakfast had plenty of options; restaurant with Italian and Indian mix was amazing and the service was simply superb. Super recommended!

Excellent hotel!!

It was very friendly & comfortable, with beautiful amentities (nice bathroom, lovely large balcony over-looking the fort, free snacks/beverages, very well decorated room). In the USA this would be an expensive boutique hotel. Located directly in town center, steps away from the fort entrance. (Side note, use caution in Jaisalmer ...men will watch/follow you, Oren tend to know you, trying to scam/cheat/steal, need to be aware of who is around you at every moment)

Wonderful Experience - A Comfortable Room

This hotel was a perfect oasis - we checked in, and forgot we were in a dusty Indian town. We were transported to a 5 star western hotel, that perfectly cocoons you in comfort. At the same time, they had many local and cultural design touches which brought a smile to my face. I loved our stay here.

Nice heritage hotel

A nice boutique heritage hotel just outside the fort. The staff were great,next remedy helpful, particularly Peter who helped us immensely by personally changing money for us out of his pocket and arranging for someone to come to the hotel to change money for us during the Indian banknote crisis. Also the restaurant upstairs was terrific and included a very authentic Italian menu (makes a change after eating Indian food daily). Indeed my husband thought it was one of the best napolitano sauce on his pasta ever!

Excellent

Excellent service and maintenance of the hotel and restaurants

This is an absolutely fantastic hotel.

Everything you read about the 1st Gate Hotel is true. It is perfectly located right near the fort with stunning views from the rooftop restaurant. The hotel administration are so accommodating. Pick up and drop off at the train station, organising train tickets, safari tours (although I didn't do one) and whatever else you want. They even offered to make sandwiches for my train journey back to Delhi. There was a minor calamity with the power on the night of my arrival (not the hotel's fault) and there was just so much genuine fussing to make sure this didn't inconvenience me, which it didn't at all. The food at the Indian/Italian restaurant is amazing and is very well priced. The hotel administrators are a delight and they really look after you. The Indian house boys are very efficient, polite and courteous. Without doubt, this is the place to stay in Jaisalmer. It is faultless.

The best location in Jaiselmer, Rajasthan, India

We stayed at 1st Gate recently with our 4 friends (making 6 of us) as we travelled north west India on hired Royal Enfield bikes. Of all the places we stayed in India, 1st Gate was far and away the best. We were welcomed personally on arrival and made to feel welcome for our 3 night stay by the owner/manager Federica and the staff. Dinner on the rooftop each evening, breakfast on the ground floor, self serve cake anytime,meant we were catered for at all times, which was great as a couple of us were a bit flat after being sick for a couple of days previously. The rooms were clean and well equipped. Location is perfect for walking into the Golden Fort and around Jaiselmer. Plenty of offers close by outside for trips into the desert etc, and a few of the usual characters pulled up to check out our bikes.

Comfortable stay

We recommend this hotel to others who plan to visit Jaisalmer in future.

Vacation recommendation

Clean, beutifully decorated

Best Hotel

This is the best hotel where we stayed in India. Incredible view of fort in the city. Very helpful staff with complimentary snacks and bottled water. The room is spacious and clean. The hotel is outside the busting castle and it is quiet. There is shops nearby which are in good price. The arrangement of taxi from Jaisemler to Jodphur to Udaipur is very nice and price is reasonable. We spent much time in hotel because it is too comfortable. Lastly, my wife got allergy in eye and the staff rushed out to buy medicine for her. It helped her a lot in the rest of the trip. I would like to use this chance to thank the hotel.

清潔程度要加強

Excellent. Adresse à garder.

Prestations au delà de ce que j’attendais. Tout est à l’avenant: accueil, confort (malgré une eau chaude pas très chaude), décoration, restauration !, personnel très prévenant.

beautiful hotel, well appointed and well decorated, located five minutes from the fort and the city center. very welcoming and helpful staff. spacious and very pleasant room. good wifi connection.

部屋はキレイでコップやフルーツにもラップがしてあり安心して利用出来ました。シャワーも何時でもお湯が使えて良かったです。ドリンクやフルーツなどもフリーで頂けてサービスがとても良かったです。

Pearl of Jaisalmer

Great place at the foot of the Fort. Local architecture was beautifully combined with tasteful interior decoration with attention to details emanating a great vibe. Staff very friendly. Afternoon cake and drinks available for free to all guests. I loved the roof top terrace with great Italian cuisine, lounge music and view over the fort. Really great address.

Un hôtel où tout est parfait!

Un excellent hotel boutique avec un service incroyable. L’hôtel est très bien situé, un très bon restaurant sur le toit avec une vue superbe. Le petit déjeuner a un très bon choix. Les chambres sont très confortables, bon lit. Il y a de beaux endroits où relaxer, cour intérieure. En plus, l’eau, des biscuits, gâteau, fruits sont offerts gratuitement tout au long du séjour.

Hotel excellent et personnel au top

Hôtel très confortable et très bien situé. L'ensemble du personnel est extrêmement chaleureux et toujours très attentionné. Une excellente adresse sur Jaisalmer.

Jaisalmer città dorata

Ottima esperienza. Camera grande è molto confortevole. Pulizie due volte al giorno, acqua, bibite , frutta e snack gratuiti (noi viaggiamo molto e soggiorniamo in ottimi hotel ma una cosa del genere, in questa misura, non ci era mai capitata). La proprietaria italiana controlla il personale e questo migliora il confort per gli ospiti. Infine il ristorante sul terrazzo offre anche dei buoni piatti italiani. Non credo si possa chiedere di più ad un hotel con sede in una cittadina indiana.

Hotel boutique muito bem localizado

A localização do hotel é perfeita (ao lado do forte). O quarto é muito limpo e confortável e o chuveiro é excelente. A equipe é atenciosa e eles oferecem água, refrigerante e lanchinhos como cortesia. O restaurante com vista para o forte é muito bom. Organizaram nosso transporte para Jodhpur de maneira eficiente e por um valor que consideramos justo.

Un cocon douillet et calme avec vue imprenable

L'accueil est attentif et les équipes aux petits soins dans cet hôtel au luxe raffiné. Chambre spacieuse et parfaitement équipée selon les standards occidentaux. Le petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux permet de commencer la journée du bon pied. Le restaurant en terrasse propose des repas à un tarif tout à fait abordable, au calme, avec une vue imprenable sur la citadelle. Je recommande sans réserve !

Appena arrivati siamo stati accolti con un cocktail di benvenuto dissetante e rinfrescante, il soggiorno è stato incantevole, il personale molto disponibile efficiente, la camera spaziosa e curta nei minimi dettagli, cosí come il bagno. Frigobar con bevande incluse nel prezzo della camera e snack tutti i giorni. La camera veniva sistemata più volte al giorno e con qualche piccola sorpresa. Colazione abbondante e ampia scelta.

Magnifique et inoubliable !!!!

PARFAIT . Accueil remarquable, tout le personnel est attentionné. La vue du toit sur la citadelle est magnifique, où nous avons déjeuné et dîné. Pas une seule fausse note, sauf peut être d'y être restés qu'une nuit !!!!

Bra hotell med utmärkt läge

Utmärkt läge och mycket bra skött hotell.

super Hôtel

Un cadre très agréable bel accueil nous avons été ravis de notre choix bien situé cet Hotel est une belle découverte le soir la terrasse avec une vue sur la citadelle avec une très bonne restauration les 2 spécialités marquées sur la carte sont délicieuses

Excellent hotel

Accueil et service parfait. Le patron est aux petits soins.Situation parfaite à la porte de la citadelle mais les chambres sont calmes.Exellent petit déjeuner tout comme la cuisine du restaurant.Seuls quelques petits détails dans la salle de bains seraient à corriger. Hotel familial à recommander! Ne le ratez pas!
