“Memorable”
+As the name suggests, Suraj Haveli offers a spectacular sunrise view from its terrace, with the sun rising over the city's horizon. This centuries old property, tucked away inside Jaisalmer Fort exudes the old-world charm that makes the stay all the more special. The view from our room was picturesque and breathtaking, and with all the basic amenities taken care of, the stay was truly value for money. The only minor drawback was the tiny washroom, which seemed to have been added later to adapt the old haveli for guest accommodation. Given the nature of the property, this did little to take away from the overall experience. Subham and his father were exceptionally warm, cordial, and accommodating hosts, attending to all our concerns. A special shout-out to Subham for taking us on a tour of the fort and sharing fascinating little anecdotes and history of the fort.

“A Wonderful Heritage Stay in Jaisalmer Fort”
+Suraj Hotel was one of the highlights of my time in Jaisalmer. Set in a beautifully preserved 500 year old haveli within the fort, it offers a genuine heritage experience rather than a modern hotel experience. From the moment I arrived, Shubham and his family made me feel welcome. The hotel is very much a family run, multi generational property, and you can feel the pride they take in caring for this historic haveli. The chef, also a family member, serves excellent food, and I particularly enjoyed relaxing in the private rooftop seating area each morning. The location is outstanding. Step outside and you'll find several great cafés with amazing views, while the famous Jain Temples are right next door. Another bonus is the peace and quiet. As vehicles cannot get close to the hotel, the constant blasting of tuk-tuk horns is reduced to distant background noise. This is not a place with lifts and modern conveniences, but that is part of its charm. Expect stairs, character, and the feeling that you are staying in a piece of living history. The hotel's in house two night camel safari was one of the highlights of my trip. The first day was with a small group of five, while the second day

“Perfection they say may not be possible, but Hotel Suraj might just do it.”
+The building was spectacularly, keeping its historic authenticity.The staff didn’t disappoint either, they helped in every way possible, I had an issue with my phone, which I was given assistance with, considering it was my problem not the hotels.It was also great value,at the time I was staying,early September.
−I was unable to work out the AC ,it was hot and humid when I was staying.It was just that I arrived back late to the hotel,if it was earlier I could have had assistance on how to work it out.

“Would love to come back anytime”
+A gorgeous, solid built, historic and well maintained family-run Haveli (from 16th century) inside the Jaisalmer fort. Nearby the Jain temples with wind-bell sounds in the background, in the historic town and all, altogether this was such an experience. The room is clean and comfortable, everything worked including aircon and Internet. We had a city view with a balcony and, it was so comfortable and nice, the whole setting made us nearly extending our stay (we couldn’t due to schedule limits however). The host and his family went above and beyond for us - pick up/drop off service by the fort entrance, bringing up/down the luggages, offering walkin tour around the fort, and many more. Breakfast was modest but tasty Indian style home cooked food (we loved it).
−The shower pressure was quite weak, and there weren’t hot water at the time of our stay (August) but as it was quite warm enough we didn’t care.

“Traditional stay inside the fort with great hospitality form owners!”
+Such a wonderful stay in Jaisalmer. We wanted a traditional stay in the “Golden City” and this was the perfect match. It’s 500 years old Haveli with originality well preserved by the owners who stay in the same house. We were delighted by the hospitality of the owners who treated us with kindness and extended warmth throughout our stay. We were taken for a fort walking tour with history of the place so well explained. We strongly recommend this place in Jaisalmer.
