Jaisalmer Small Hotels - Reviews and Rates

(Brent) After one night on a train, followed by a night in a desert tent, it was luxurious to arrive at our Jaisalmer hotel, a many-starred resort outside of town. Showering off a few days of cold and dirt was great. Great! The hotel looked like a small desert resort, like a smaller version of the fanciest place we once stayed at in Phoenix. I d...
