"Step through a window opening from the honeymoon suite onto an alluring cushioned balcony, and you'll feel the world is yours for the asking. If you need some air, climb the stairs to the roof, look west, and if the timing is right, you can bet there's a truly magnificent sunset on the cards."

We loved everything. Hotel Victoria was the most pleasant hotel experience we had in our 3 weeks in India. First it did all the important things right: clean room, clean bathroom, spacious rooftop, great food that's at a fair price. But it''s all the other little things that made it special: super comfy bed and pillows, a shower that doesnt need preheating and.doesnt run out of hot water after 5 mins, electricity that runs even when you're out of the room (practical to charge your devices when you're out), breakfast is not limited to 2 things (you have indian and european options, you can ask for seconds and thirds), tea/coffee is real good (hot and iced) and unlimited and free throughout the day, the cook and staff are super friendly (special thanks to Navin the manager), and lastly, they never asked once for a review. Which is why we wanted to write this and encourage you to definitely stay there. You won't want to leave (we didn't) !

The most interesting hotel I've stayed at. The place is run by the proprietor and his family and is located INSIDE Jaisalmer Fort. You need a tuk-tuk to get up to it but once there, you're transported back in time. Rooms are nice and the rooftop deck is a great place to relax.
