1st gate home-fusion

Everything about our stay was delightful. The hotel itself is beautiful and tastefully designed and decorated, with a stunning view of the fort from the rooftop restaurant and great facilities including a pool and gym. But the staff make this place really special - Peter and Laksh (and everyone else) were always extremely kind and helpful and went over and beyond to make us feel at home. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Jaisalmer!

We were drawn by the pool and fort views and fell in love with everything and everyone. Our stay was an absolute dream with every detail carefully thought out. The team gave us amazing recommendations for shopping (honest places with good stuff), eating out in jaisalmer, always made sure we had water as we walked out into the desert sun (thanks Lahks!) and told us everything we needed to know about the fort so we could skip the tour (thanks Peter!). Even if you don’t stay here (which you should) check out the rooftop restaurant as the view of the fort is truly spectacular and the malai kofta is banging.||I could go on and on but I’ve never stayed anywhere so lovely and welcoming. Already planning my next trip to Jaisalmer!||(Also my final opinion is that it’s better to stay outside the fort for great views, digs and a pool and explore the fort during the day 😉)

Nice and spacious rooms with balcony. Good variety of the breakfast. Very friendly and attentive staff. We had everyday dinner at the great roof top restaurant with an amazing view at the fort. Food was excellent. Stay there and you will see enjoy!

POSITIVES:|1) Hospitality: The hospitality we received here was second to none. I won’t put too much detail in this review as I don’t want to spoil the surprise but at every opportunity the hotel made effort to surprise us with brilliant tokens and service and effort. We were blown away and havent experienced hospitality like that in India and possibly even the world. It was so genuine and warm and personable, and in no way were they trying to upsell us or do it for money. The irony was that we probably tipped more than we ever had because we didn’t feel pressured to do so and the team were so genuine.||2) Interior: Everything about hotel is very high quality… from the design of the rooms to the bathrobes and slippers in the rooms, the fully stocked and free minibar and the very comfortable bed and bedsheets. We were in heaven. ||3) Rooftop restaurant: Great design and ambience, lovely views of the fort, and by the way: all tea and coffee in the restaurant is free of charge for hotel guests. ||4) Food: Breakfast is a great buffet full of options plus freshly cooked items too, and again, the service was brilliant. The rooftop restaurant served Italian food(!) which was a nice change and very good, and I still think of the chocolate mousse desert a few times a week, it was so good. I think I would fly back there to have it again! ||5) Location: A super location right next to the fort, couldn’t be better placed! |||NEGATIVE (and there’s only one):|1) Hot water: You need to run the shower for 10 minutes to get hot water. Once it’s hot it’s lovely and doesn’t run out but in a desert environment this feels an awful waste of water. ||OVERALL: This was the highest price per night we paid for a hotel in india but it was worth every penny. Thank you so much to Pedro and the team for taking such amazing care of us.

1st Gate hotel location is a great spot! The rooftop restaurant has an amazing view of the fort - perfect for a meal or drink. Really enjoyed the views and the experience. Would definitely recommend!

Yes it's one of the pretty places in the vicinity with lovely vibes and a fort view. Yes the service is tailored to make the firang guests very happy. But unfortunately, the thing that matters the most, food, is where the cafe lacks. We were served complimentary papad and chutney where the chutney smelled. When raised, the server was sure it was not, and what could one day after that. Next we ordered a veg grilled sandwich which was absolutely average. The fettuccini basil pasta was decent but very oily with tooth breaking bread. The saving grace was the mint cucumber slush which made me less angry. So yeah, go for the pics, sit for a beer, but avoid the food.
