Suraj hotel ist absolutely great and maybe the best place in jaisalmer! rooms are cheap, beautiful and stuff ist super friendly! ask for lala he will tell you interesting things about india, his family and jaisalmer! Instead of going to the havelis in jaisalmer - better stay in a 500 years old haveli. suraj also has expensive rooms, but they... More

We didn't stay here, but we did spend a few hours on the roof enjoying the sunshine, lunch and and a few beers. At just 120 Rupees a bottle, this is the most reasonably priced beer we enjoyed in the whole of Rajasthan! The food was standard Jain fare - vegetarian everything. It was OK, not the best food I've... More

Awful. Booked ahead and confirmed day before. Arrived late evening to find no room prepared and Chimmy (owner's son) rushed around putting us in spare room with mattress on concrete floor. Toilet filthy. No hot water. Blankets smelly and dusty. Chimmy does not care as there are always people looking for a room at short notice and he had obviously... More

We previously stayed at this hotel 14 years ago and loved it. However, this time our experience was awful. Despite booking our room > 6 months in advance and re-confirming several times, when we arrived late at night, the owner Chimmy was taken by suprise. We had to hang around whilst they made up the room. When we saw it,... More

Firstly, don't get confused like we did and think you are emailing hotel Surja which is higher in the rankings on here! Once we realised our mistake we decided we'd go with hotel Suraj as we'd had prompt and friendly email replies from Chimi the owner. He picked us up from the bus drop off point as promised, even after... More

Spectacular building in the fort, very close to the Jain temples. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are amazing, and great value for money. In fact, ours was more like a suite with a bedroom, lounge, hallway, and shower/toilet room. The building is made from local stone, with beautiful intricate carvings. There is an associated restaurant across the road... More

This is a very well run, friendly hotel. It's in an old haveli and has a great atmosphere. The rooms are well equipped and the bathrooms are fine. They have been tastefully decorated although thankfully they haven't gone overboard and taken away from the charm of staying in such an old building. It might not be to everybodys taste- the... More

Hotel Suraj is one of the most hospitable accommodations I experienced while in India for 3 months. My friend and I were lost wandering the old streets of Jaisalmer in the sand castle fort when we came across it and met the exceptionally welcoming manager Chimmy. He invited us up to the roof top patio where we could overlook the... More

I was really excited to stay at hotel Surja. The pictures looked lovely and my sister and I really enjoyed our first nights stay, however we moved chose to move on after a two nights. The room we had was right in the walls of the fort with a little window seat that you could gaze out at the moon... More
