Must stay

Fifu’s hotel was a great place to call home for a couple nights. The rooms are clean and well kept. The owner himself is very friendly and accommodating of all requests. He made special requests with his kitchen to cook our food with bottled water so we don’t get sick. The kitchen staff did not make us feel like an inconvenience for our special food preparation requests. Mr Mishri from the restaurant went above and beyond to make us feel safe about our food choices and got everything made fresh for me and my family. The night views from the roof top restaurant are amazing.
I would recommend everyone going to Jaisalmer to stay at Fifu hotel. You will not be disappointed.

The owner is kind and friendly. The rooms are well decorated, big, comfortable bed, and a shower with a curtain and lip so water doesn't go all over the floor which is extremely unique in India. There is also a reading nook by window which makes you feel like you are in the movie Aladin. The hotel is a couple blocks off the main Rd so it is very very quiet. There is a roof top restaurant with a great view of Jaisalmer fort.

This is by far the best stay we have had in India. The room was very nice and clean, the beds were comfortable, the staff were friendly, and the restaurant had excellent food a great view and was affordable. The owner personally gave us recommendations on areas to see in the city and places to shop to find the local goods we were interested in such as sheets and clothes. The owner went above and beyond even past the day our reservation had ended. The rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful.
We were very well looked after and highly recommend staying here to anyone going to Jaisalmer.

Este es un hotel muy económico, limpio y conveniente para las personas que se quieran quedar en Jaisalmer. El personal del hotel es muy atento y el hotel está bien céntrico de todas las atracciones. Las actividades pueden ser coordinadas mediante ellos, salen muy factibles y se hacen responsable por cualquier cosa que pase. A diferencia de otros hoteles donde las actividades te salen mucho más caras debido a el lujo del hotel y no se hacen responsable por algun inconveniente que uno pueda tener. En fin muy recomendable está propiedad para aquellas personas que quieran visitar esta cuidad. (Bueno, Bonito y Barato)

Great hotel / amazing owner. Highly recommended

Fifu, the owner, is a wonderful human being, a fountain of knowledge, and a real pleasure to talk to. Very rare find in India. We spent a night in the desert, and another day visiting local villages with him (highly recommended). The hotel is very cute, with great views of the fort from the rooftop restaurant, but away from the daily craziness (only a 10 minute walk). The Nepalese staff is excellent. Price is very reasonable. Don't hesitate and book - great option in Jaisalmer. Talk to Fifu, the owner, and learn about India first hand.

The proprietor is warm and welcoming and made my stay very pleasant indeed. He also introduced me to a wonderful tuk tuk driver M.Ali, who helped me get around Jaisalmer .. It was wonderful not to be hounded to purchase tours or visit shopping outlets.

Amazing Value - Beautiful Hotel

Fifu, the host and proprietor was extremely gracious. The hotel itself was almost pristine and palacial, with stone tiles everywhere and beautiful photos that Fifu himself had taken. The restaurant upstairs had an amazing view of the fort and the bit of distance from the center of town made all the difference for peace and quiet. They offered cooking classes as well which was quite fun at a reasonable price. The main thing that I can't get over with this stay was the value. For the price (under 30 USD) it was an amazing deal.

Allows us to take a hot shower before driving us to Pal Raj Resort for camel safari. The next day we stayed at Hotel Fifu. Owner Mr Fifu and son are very friendly and accommodating. The son arranged a spare room for us taking hot shower and rest for 4 hours free knowing that we had a train at 1.00am.

Lovely guest house 5 minutes drive from the fort

Hotel Fifu is a lovely guest house about 5 minutes drive from the Jaiselmer fort. It is a guest house rather than a hotel, located at the end of a lane off one of the main roads. The rooms are charming with nice stonework and window seats and does feel very ‘real’. I had a deluxe suite, which had a small bedroom with very comfortable double bed, and a small sitting room with window seats. The bathroom was basic but clean. The manager was very nice, very accommodating and helpful. There’s a fair bit of building work going on around (and they make an early start), but that seems to be the case in a lot of places around Jaiselmer. All in all a very good guest house stay.

We traveled as a family and occupied two rooms at this hotel. It was not a luxury hotel, but the service provided was unbelievably good. The owner, whose nickname was Fifu like the hotel, went out of his way to make sure that we felt comfortable, helping us with issues that were beyond his responsibilities. In addition, the hotel was really close and had a beautiful view of the Jaisalmer Fort, the main tourist attraction in the city. We would recommend this hotel to anyone not looking for luxury.

Friendly family-run hotel

The hotel is built from sandstone in the traditional haveli style. Lovely room design and a great view of Jaisalmer Fort from the roof terrace. The hotel is excellent value for money, as is the restaurant. Food is of good quality and is all cooked from scratch. We even had a cookery lesson in the kitchen. The hotel is away from the busy centre, but is an easy walk or just a 50p tuk-tuk ride. They organised a camel safari for us at reasonable cost and we had a free pick-up from the station.
The staff are excellent. They take pride in the hotel and genuinely want to do well.

Peace and a true Holiday home from home

We stayed in Hotel Fifu for 3 nights but wish it it had been longer! Set out side the main town in a peaceful residential area, we enjoyed the silence and beauty of the area a rare treat in India. It only cost 50 rupees to get into the walled city of Jaislemer a minor cost for the benefit of being in such a peaceful area not far from the lake. The hotel owner Fifu gave such personal attention to make sure we enjoyed our stay in his hotel.

Hotel with a superb view of the Jaisalmer Fort

The hotel built is just off the main road and is ideally located away from the bustle of the city.The personal attentiveness to detail by Mr Om and his son Anirudh during our stay from 01 to 03 Jan 14 made it even more memorable. The Room No 108 on the second floor is undoubtedly the best suite and had two rooms with a view of the fort from all windows.The rooms were done up tastefully in rajasthani style and was cozy and warm. The sheets were clean and Mr Om made our family comfortable with extra blankets and pillows, since it was exceptionally cold.The bathroom is small but modern with running hot and cold water, toiletries and clean towels and it was more than adequate for us.The Hotel has a veg restaurant on the top floor with breathtaking views of the jaiselmer fort and the food is simple and delicious.We tried the ker sangri and rotis.The continental breakfast included with the room tariff is excellent and recommended with masala chai!

Nice hotel with great hospitality.

Its a nice hotel, close to Fort (approx 15 min walk or auto can be arranged by hotel charges 40 Rs).
They are very good at hospitality and created homely environment, I stayed there for 2 nights and found few of the instances like, conditioner was not there in my room and they don't even provide, I asked them and they immediately bought it from outside (dove Conditioner) and give it to me. this was very prompt and I have not seen this in other hotel.

Pros:
1.Great Staff, very helpful to you,
2. washrooms and rooms are clean and Decent,
3. great view of fort from rooftop
4. Restaurant food is very delicious. better than Desert bytes and many other restaurant which are very famous in town.

Cons:
1. Hotel is not very big, its a small property having few rooms, but doesn't matter much as most of the people and autowala knows this property.
2. Restaurant is on rooftop and quite good , but need to be very careful with children as fences are too low. there should be option of some curtain so that in the night cool wind can be stopped.

We adored hotel Fifu! It is located about 10 minutes from the fort and main shopping area but Fifu was more than helpful and always arranged a complimentary trip into the centre. The room was spacious and decorated in beautiful colours, we actually had two rooms...so lots of space. Fifu allowed us to have an early check in and late check out to coincide with our trains- no extra charge! The restaurant on the fourth floor offers beautiful views of the fort and the desert. We went on the camel safari and it was great! Fifu is a fantastic host and he'll do everything in his power to make you feel at home! Id definitely stay here again!

Lovely very well managed hotel.

Very caring owner, eager to make our stay, and everybody's stay as comfortable as possible. It seems that everybody loved him.
Beautiful small hotel with gorgeous rooms, and great view of the fort.
Owner speaks English, German and Spanish.
The food is excellent and very reasonable. we loved the Kaju Curry and Raita
It is not within the fort, but the Tuk tuk to the fort cost only 50 Rps ( $1).
We stayed four days and three nights and it was a wonderful place to rest after visiting busy places like Jaipur and Udaipur.
We arrived by train at 6:30 am and they gave us a room where we could shower and leave our belongings while the room that was intended for us became available. We had a great breakfast, met another couple and left to go sightseeing. When we returned, our belongings were in our lovely room.
Our train to Johdpur was leaving late in the evening. We were given another room to occupied for that day, at no additional cost. That made our stay extremely comfortable.

Great view; strong emphasis on service

This is a bargain haveli-style hotel where the mgmt go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and happy. There is a great view of the fort from the rooftop restaurant and North facing rooms, though we preferred our room on the other side as it got a lot more light, and was cosier and warmer - the N facing room was more of a family affair and rather dark and cold, with only access to the TV being from a single bed in a room adjoining the double. Don't be put off by the surrounding construction sites and hovels - it's a peaceful spot and only a short walk (15 mins) / tuk-tuk ride to the town and fort, and the locals are very friendly. Eat in town: the restaurant is not particularly good, though they do serve decent breakfast parathas, and at least offer beer (unlike some restos in town).

We booked a double and a triple room for one night, and everything was ready when we arrived. The rooms were small but comfortable, and the view from the rooftop restaurant was amazing. The staff were helpful

Tremendous value for money

It was a comfortable stay with a warm personalized service right from the owner downwards.

Horrible Experience at Hotel Fifu

Our stay at Hotel Fifu was most disappointing. Starting from the location - opposite a burial ground with a mud approach road - to the rude behaviour of the staff, to worn out bed covers, dirty linen and a smelly bathroom, it was an experience we would like to forget in a hurry.

Nice and comfortable stay

Very good experience. Just wished they had a lift as the roof is 3 floors above and you would often go up and down for food, sitting, view of the fort

Comfortable and excellent value

The hotel was comfortable and the people were friendly and helpful. We did not have the chance to use the restaurant very much, but the lunch and snack we took were good. The slight disadvantage of being a 5 min rickshaw ride from the main action in Jaisalmer was outweighed by the quietness of Hotel Fifu (slept well) and the great view of the fort from the rooftop lounge/restaurant.
The main negative was probably specific to the room. The WC flush needed supplementing with a bucket of water - a bit inconvenient.

Modern but stylish place with awesome terrace

Really nice people who were helpful and accomodating when we needed to change our stay. Hotel rooms were large - we got given a huge suite for free with an extra bed+ lounge area. Location isn't in the fort which means you need to take a rickshaw to the fort, but it means you get a great view from the terrace (which also has tasty food). Only downside - the bathroom at one point smelt a little. Otherwise excellent place, very new and nice and characterful rooms.

Felt like being invited into a Rajasthani home

After travelling to hotels around India, including five star hotels, we were amazed to find this little jewel in the desert. Fantastic deluxe room with views of the fort and truly warm hospitality from the owners.

Best value for money hotel

We stayed in this hotel during our stay in Jaisalmer for 3 nights. It has to be the best find and the best value hotel in the whole of India! The hotel is on the edge of town, but a tuc-tuc can be called on demand. The staff looked after us extremely well, rooms were large and very clean, and the roof-top terrace and restaurant was a great place to relax, with fabulous views of the fort.

The hotel with an amazing terrace

I must definitely recommend the hotel Fifu! The accommodation is a bit more expensive than in average Indian hotels, but you won't regret it. The hotel offers beautifully decorated rooms, and especially without kitschy accessories :) The roof terrace was one of the best I've seen in India and you'll enjoy an amazing view of the nearby fort. Food was very good and tasty. Staff, especially at the reception, was very nice and helpful with no signs of falsity. The manager gave us advices selflessly. The City is very close, for us. For some nations might not....:) We were very satisfied with the location. It's a quiet area and it's better to stay in that quarter than in the fort while contributing to its damage....

Good Hotell

This was an excellent hotell. The rooms are clean, the restaurant is very nice and the staff are hardworking.

We were two friends from Norway visiting Jaisalmer.

The hotel manager was really friendly and asked us if it was anything else he could do to help us around.

I would recomend this Hotel to other.

Its close by the City of Jaisalmer as well.

The people are awesome

Mr Fifu & Antariksh are every good hosts. They take their guests very seriously & are very helpful.
The hotel surroundings are not good with drainage around an issue, and the distance to the fort is a bummer. The open top floor restaurant has excellent views of the fort which may be a little too windy for some.
The rooms are well maintained and food cooked is awesome.

Great building, Great Service

Being a Haveli with rooftop restaurant and no lift it is not suitable for the less agile. That said its great to be able to stay in a Haveli that is traditionally decorated. The rooms are very clean and a pleasure to be in. It is situated a few minutes out of town but a complimentary tuk tuk is available to whisk you to the fort etc. The rooftop restaurant has stunning views and I will never forget early morning breakfasts there. The only thing I could suggest is a more adventurous cook for the evening meals. The staff are very friendly and helpful. But the owner is a star. Nothing is too much for him and he is always around ensuring things are going well. Every problem i had he solved with a smile. We had a great time and can only give this the highest praise

Rooftop view to die for

The host, Fifu himself, is most gracious and welcoming. This hotel is his passion and it shows. Rooms are done in relaxing colours and fabrics. Very clean. En-suite is a real treat. Fifu will accomodate you in every way: baggage storage if you are away for a few days, food or coffee at any time, currency exchange, free spin to the train at the end. The rooftop restaurant oozes charm. Done in the same signature colours and using fabrics, it's open-sided and has a killer view of the fort. Location is great, just a few minutes walk from the action, but far enough away to be a retreat from all traffic noises. Highly recommended. He offers camel trips, but is not in the least pushy.
