Hotel Suraj

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.

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).

L’Hotel Suraj est un véritable haveli historique, niché au cœur de Jaisalmer. Dès qu’on passe la porte, on a l’impression de remonter le temps. Les murs en pierre dorée, les détails sculptés, l’atmosphère… tout nous plonge dans l’histoire du Rajasthan. Franchement, on s’y sent comme un maharadjah.

Shubham et son père nous ont accueillis comme à la maison, avec une gentillesse sincère et plein de bons conseils pour profiter de la ville. Leur hospitalité fait toute la différence.

Notre chambre était grande, spacieuse, très propre, avec un balcon offrant une vue superbe sur les temples jaïns. Se réveiller avec ce panorama, c’était magique.

Si vous cherchez un lieu authentique, plein de charme et d’âme, c’est clairement l’endroit où poser son sac à Jaisalmer.

The staff and the historical place, such a unique stay.

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.

Un palais splendide! Aménagements très respectueux du lieu. Nous avons dormi dans la chambre du maharaja…! Puis la seconde nuit nuit sur la chambre terrasse pour profiter de la clim. Tout était parfait! Personnel aux petits soins. C sans doute un des plus beaux lieux où nous avons séjourné!

色々な事をサポートしていただきました。スタッフの方々は皆ホスピタリティがあってとても過ごしやすかったです。また、ロケーションも景色も非常に良く現地のガイドの方はとても有名なホテルだと言っていました。また機会があれば滞在したいです。

Magnifique bâtiment.on se sent privilégié de loger ici

Un magnifique séjour et un accueil au petit soin !

quelle originalité de loger dans une haveli de 500 ans en plein centre de la forteresse, calme garantie et c'est très agréable.Personnel au petit soin, très agréable, accueillant et de très bon conseil, un grand merci à eux pour cet accueil. On recommande vivement.

Il posto è magico, unico, semplicemente meraviglioso. La famiglia ti accoglie con calore e sorrisi ed appena varchi la porta della struttura ti senti immediatamente a casa. Subu, il
figlio del proprietario, è di una gentilezza rara. Ci ha aiutato in tutto e ci ha accompagnato a vedere i meravigliosi Templi spiegandoci nel dettaglio ogni particolare. Abbiamo cenato splendidamente all’interno della casa con cibo fresco, ottimo e cucinato per noi! Un esperienza unica che va assolutamente provata. Prenotate qui senza indugio e affidatevi ai preziosi consigli che vi verranno dati.

Amazing location in fort within a haveli. Great breakfast! Free fort tour. They let us keep stuff while on safari and then shower after. Can't recommend this place enough! An amazing place and family to stay with!!

The position in the center of the old city and the ancient structure of the building

We had booked a suite and the room was actually and truly a suite.
There was a wide corridor leading to a spacious seating/dining area which opened into a large bedroom. The Haveli window opens directly to the highest rampart of the fort. So our bedroom itself was a view point!!!!! The open courtyard and the intricately carved windows and doors really take you back in time.
We loved the complimentary HERITAGE WALK, learnt many interesting / unheard of stories that are not in the pages of travel magazines. Like the Unique Wedding Invitations of Jaisalmer and the Unfinished Memorials of the Kings and the Relocated JAIN Temple.
The hotel also organized a DESERT SAFARI. We were told that we would be taken to a unique spot NOT frequented by other tourists. We thought it was 'marketing talk'. But the spot where we were taken to (On Camels) was actually a very beautiful and secluded spot. The Sky was so close and soooo clear. It was almost like watching the dome of a Planetarium. My daughter loved it.

The view from our room was stunning.
The location is great and quiet.
The staff is really friendly and helpful.

Lovely old Haveli in the Fort. The family is very welcoming and understandably proud of their history and heritage. The walking tour was very informative. The front rooms are more atmospheric than the back rooms, but all are spacious and well kept. The “nooks” were spectacular for watching the sunrise/sunset and viewing the chain temples. We booked a camel tour through their recommended guide which we enjoyed.

Just lovely! The King room is spectacular - was one of our best stays in India.
