Approach road improvements are a must, otherwise a very homely and relaxing place.

Wow, I have never experienced such fantastic and hospitable customer service. The staff members were so kind to us and made our stay! The food at the hotel restaurant was some of the best food in India. You need to stay here if you're in India!

Amazing property service food cleanliness and attention to details

Only good things to say about both the property and our stay. Even though we had never visited Jaisalmer, we immediately felt at home once we set foot in The Gulaal. Virendra Singh and Babu took good care of us - arranged transport, made recommendations, answered all of our questions, and also had good stories to tell. We ate many meals at the property and were pleasantly surprised by how tasty and reasonably priced the all-veg menu was. Our room was spacious, clean and had the most comfortable mattress I have ever encountered in India. We have already recommended to all our family in India and would recommend to anyone looking to visit Jaisalmer.

Very attentive staff

Fab hotel, pure veg, alcohol free dining. Menu v good.

The Gulaal is arguably one of the best properties in Jaisalmer. Its proximity to the fort, architecture confirming to the ones you find inside the fort, the decor and warmth of hospitality extended by the staff makes is a must stay place. We stayed at the Luxury suite and while the luxury was true to its name, it did not burn a hole in our pocket. You enter the place in the evening and it is filled with mild aroma of dhoop giving you a feeling of an actual haveli. Our room was as spacious as one could imagine. A living room with window balcony, lovely bedroom, a huge bathroom. The best part was a huge separate terrace where you can enjoy a clear view of the fort while sipping your evening tea. The bedroom window gives you a clear shot of the fort and it looks surreal at night, something right out of story books. I can't even begin to describe the rooftop dining. You can enjoy your favorite meal with the view of the the fort which has a different aura around it at night. To top it all and the best feature of the place is, its staff. Warm, courteous and always willing to make your stay memorable. Without any doubt, the next time we go there, we are staying at the same place.

It a good 3 star property with huge rooms and great service. Calling it a luxury boutique is bit of a stretch. Again good views and huge rooms.

Beautifully designed Haveli decorated with magnificent Indian colours and furniture....all very pleasing and comfortable. Spectacular rooftop restaurant / terrace. Wonderful warm service and the owners Chandan and Victor are always available to help. Highly recommend.

Very nice hotel. The view from the rooftop is amazing. The staff is very nice and friendly. The food is good. The hotel is walking distance from the fort. The fort is a must to visit.

Beautiful little gem with clean rooms and excellent hospitality. We enjoyed the rooftop and meals very much

I looked at lot of hotels and booked Gulaal as the room sizes were big and the reviews were good. I feel all that is an understatement , our stay and trip to jaisalmer was exceptional. I give the credit to the the owner Mr. Virendra and Mr Chandan.We had a very warm welcome on rooftop with masala tea. The rooms are so spacious , bright and clean. He organised our heritage tour with a local guide Mr Lalit German Purohit(Lalu). He is a gem of a person with great knowledge. He took us to the fort and the town to see the most renowned Haveli’s.We requested to try local Rajasthani food and he organised everything and took us to the best spot in the fort with best views. He also took us for shopping. The staff at Gulaal were very respectful . The food is so delicious. The chef will make the effort to give you your choice of food. The next day we went to sand dunes which was organised by Mr Virendra. The driver ( Mr Naval kishor) is a very jovial and a safe driver. He told us few stories on the way. We went to Pal Rajah camp which was secluded and away from the crowded places , great food and an eye catching cultural show.The owners of Gulaal are the most wonderful people I have met till now. On our departure they also gave us a box of sweets . They made us feel so special. We thank the Gulaal team for making our holiday very memorable. If ever I go to Jaisalmer I will stay at Gulaal and will recommend to my family and friends.

Its a very nice pretty clean comfortable place to stay in. Food served in the restaurant is delicious and the service was pretty good. I would highly recommend this place.

get them to put a cap on your account, it

Amazing!!! I wanted some good relaxing time and when I entered into the hotel, I knew I am at the right place. Astonishing interior with Rajasthani touch, good food and great cleanliness. Rooms were so nicely placed, one wouldn’t touch a thing and just watch the perfection. Oh n yes, amazing fort view from the roof top. Must stay place in Jaisalmer!

Exquisite in every way from decor, to comfort, to service to the food. Breakfast was included and it was exceptional, fresh, delicious and served with a warm smile. Everyone working there remembered every detail. The room was large, beautiful, comfortable, serviced everyday and had a private patio. AC was quiet. Water was hot.Lastly the pool was the perfect afternoon break from the jaisalmer heat. We would go out in the morning, have a dip in the afternoon to cool down and then head out for the evening. Just loved it!!!!

There is nothing to not like. Brilliant location. Breathtaking view of jaiselmer fort at night from roof top restaurant. Very very helpful staff. Excellent rooms and ambiance. Tasty food. Good breakfast options. By far the best property we have stayed in till date ( we travel a lot) . Def recommend this property.

We arrived early, and had a welcoming drink on their rooftop restuarant while we waited for a room to be ready. The rooftop has an excellent view of the fort.Our room was ready before the check in time and they upgraded us to a suite.The room was excellent. The style was like the old Havelis we stayed in, but it is not an old building and everything was well maintained.We had the hotel breakfast, which is not a buffet, so you can order what you want and it will be fresh.The location is a little ways off the main street through Jaisalmer. About 5-6 minutes walk. And a further 8 to the Fort or 11 to the lake. It's much quieter here than closer to Gadisar road or the Fort.

The hotel was amazing, the welcome was extremely friendly. Taken to rooftop restaurant for welcome drink. The view was magnificent of Jaisalmer Fort beautifully lit by night. The room was excellent and the food was delicious. The service was attentive but not overwhelming. Our waiter Vikram Singh was so polite and looked after all our whims. A hotel my husband and I would certainly like to return to.

Great hotel with a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The two brothers that run the hotel are incredibly helpful and courteous. We stayed in a deluxe room but it actually was a suite with a separate living room, a huge bathroom, and a large deck outside. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The breakfast was a la carte and everything was delicious. We also had dinner at the hotel with the view of the Jaisalmer fort. The owners arranged a desert tour with a private car for us, and we were able to do the tour at our pace. The hotel is located just outside of the Jaisalmer fort which is only 5 minute on a tuk tuk. It is perfect for us to go out in the morning checking out one place and coming back to the hotel to rest for a bit. We also had a great massage at the spa by the swimming pool. On the last day, we had to catch a train at 5 pm, and the owners were very generous to let us stay in the room and drop us off with no extra charge. This is the hotel that really goes out of their way to create the wonderful experience for our vacation.

Staff was very friendly. Room was beautiful and reasonably clean. Some spider webs in the bathroom. However,bed was super uncomfortable. I ended up sleeping on the window cushion as my spine was hurting. Pool was dirty and unusable. The hotel is down a dusty path and no taxis around so you have to walk

Gulaal as the name says is certainly very colourful in all aspects be it the room or the hotel. Rooms are perfectly designed for comfort. Chandanji and Virendraji take good care of the guests at all stages. The roof top restraunt is quite n gives great views of the sonar fort. Only suggestion that the quality of fud though good can still b better . Recommended to all !!!!

Dirty pool. Bedsheets didn't fit. Restaurant staff attentive, but moody. Front desk/driver/tours were nice. As was the packed meal (train).

Great rooms, helpful owners, beautiful city. We were very pleased to have booked here. Pool was small (it's a desert!) but lovely. They were able to book us a camel sunset ride and provide a driver back to jodphur at reasonable prices. Overall a great value.

wonderfully decorated hotel, done in beautiful typical local style with real taste spacious room, great terrace with view of the fort and lovely little swimming pool - with plenty of shade available from the sun
