Fun and nicely decorated hotel. Every night there are musicians playing in the rooftop restaurant (they will ask you for tips before you retire to your room). They go on until midnight, so if you're tired and wanna sleep early, forget it. The music is very loud. In the mornings we heard a lot of noise from the restaurant as... More

After two days our Money disapeared , then we recognized, that this hotel has nothing to do with the hotel that Helmut built ! There are many better Hotels in Jaiselmer! This One is Dirty inside, the Food Takes very very Long to order , and after all someone Stole our Money !

Helmut Pachler passed away last year. He was the founder of this Hotel and his purpose was for the welfare of the Artists of the locality to promote their music. The Hotel was well managed and I did visit the place during the Desert Fair in Jaisalmer a couple of years. There were folk artists performing, the food was reasonably... More

This review is for the restaurant but take notice if you are planning to book a room. Managenent has changed, old reviews are misleading! They have a nice rooftop, it looked clean and the guys working there seemed friendly. We asked for pizza which they don't offer anymore. We ordered indian food (paneer, dhal and rice) which takes maximum 30min... More

Just doing some catching up on reviews that I've been meaning to do for a while, and thought I'd do one for this place (stayed in Jan 2011). It was cheap, good value, charming, friendly, and nice food, especially while listening to the local music from really talented musicians. The rooftop restaurant had nice (not outstanding food) and great views... More

We stayed in Jaisalmer for 3 nights, which of 2 in the artist hotel and 1 in the desert (which we booked through the hotel, its a great experience!!) They offer free pick-up and drop off from the train or bus station. The family is really helpfull and wants to make sure you have everything you need to have a... More

The Hotel is perfect to keep some distance of the big-cheaty main places in Jaisalmer. The Staff is really helpfull and never pressuring you to do some more business with you, what unfortunately happens a lot of time in other places in Jaisalmer. (By the side, i actually did book the camel safari over the artistshouse and it was a... More

It became clear to us during our stay that the hotel had seen better days. The artwork in the rooms and elsewhere is falling apart, the light fixtures do not work, and the rooms and bathrooms are unclean if not outright shabby. The hotel is located in Kalakar Colony, home to many artists from the singing community of Jailsamer, which... More

We checked in today and are having a bad experience. Apparently, the guy who used to run this place passed away 2 months ago and the management team under him all moved away, so it is being run by clueless rude localites - there is no maintenance, they ripped us off already citing a double bed room price when there...
