Hotel Jasmin Haveli

When I planned my solo trip to India, I knew very little of the places I would visit, the things I would see. I knew I wanted to stay somewhere safe and comfortable, somewhere through which I could book local tours and experiences. The Jasmin Hotel was well recommended and reviewed. It is well located for exploring local attractions and there are many restaurants and shops nearby to meet your various needs. So I thought, “this looks nice, I think I’ll book here.” From the moment I confirmed my stay, I was met with love and kindness. The owner communicated excellently about local recommendations and connected me with an amazing tour guide to show me the fort, and another to escort me on a desert safari. The hotel was magnificent; clean, quiet, and cozy. My airport transfers were prearranged and I had a seamless arrival and departure. The hotel restaurant was absolutely amazing, providing exquisite local cuisine and service. Upon my arrival, the hotel owner met me kindly and sat with me for a cup of chai. He asked me about my plans for my stay and what I would like to see and do. I wanted to tour around the fort, explore the desert, learn to cook traditional meals.. I wanted to embrace the local Indian culture. I wanted more than exposure, I wanted an *Experience*. I wanted something worth writing home about. And I absolutely got that at the Hotel Jasmin Home. My stay here was the most amazing part of my entire trip to India. You can see the Pink City, the Blue City, even the Taj Majal. But unless you stay here, you wont truly appreciate and understand what Indian hospitality is. There are many places to stay in Jaisalmer, but I promise that you’re doing yourself a disservice to stay anywhere but the Hotel Jasmin Home.
