1) There is an arrangement here that only 2 to 3 liters of water is available for bathing, in which both have to bathe. 2) There is no Elevator here and the location is not good 3) Hotel is not satisfactory for money minded

Although the hotel inside looks impressive but Surrounding of hotel was dirty. Not well kept surroundings. Room was comfortable and spacey. But the mattress was too soft not suitable to my body and back. The breakfast kitchen was not clean and some sand particles in the paranthas (appeared filling was not thoroughly cleaned). Found a mouse in the room on the second night and this was a very disappointing part of my experience. I want to be honest so that people like me take proper care before Making bookings.

Maru and his team in Helsinki are wonderful hosts. We choose deluxe rooms and it was massive and we were lucky to get a wonderful view from our balcony especially sunrise. Although it was end of season and due to covid many guests were not coming, we did not find any issues related to service. It’s very close to Jaisalmer station and we were extremely surprised that maru picked us from railway station.

The room was not ready when we arrived even though we had called ahead of time and the fact that we came late in the day after a long road trip so already was not happy. They maid us wait in the front for 15min because the manager was having lunch. When he came he didn’t seem happy or welcoming to see us and was a bit snappy to his staff and to us. When we first made reservation we asked if there is accommodation provided for our driver they said yes. But when we arrived the manager was a bit rude and said we Don’t provide accusations for drivers, that there is a guest house nearby where he can stay etc... room was good except we had booked 3 rooms and we were provided rooms in different floors. Additionally the mattress in our room was let’s just say overused by a few years. Terrible mattress. Roof top restaurant is probably not safe for foreigners very basic therefore chances of trying GI infection is high. I wouldn’t rush it.

A decent place to stay
A decent place to stay. The rooms are basic, but sufficient and generally clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and made for a pleasant stay. It is just outside the town, and so offers good views of the countryside, and is still only a 20 minute walk from the Fort etc. in town.

Great hotel, welcoming staff !
Hotel is lovely and the staff are very attentive - the location is nice and quiet away from the busy town area but near enough to enjoy all it has to offer. All the food in the restaurant is freshly prepared to order and tastes amazing. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Jaisalmer !

The staff here are great. The hotel itself is ok, it's got a pretty classic feel to it. I was on the ground floor, it was 42°c, the a/c didn't work very well, so the room was really warm.As with most hotels in India, the tv and the cable selection was nothing to brag about. I had a very memorable camel desert safari scheduled through the hotel. To get to Jaisalmer Fort will take you about 15 to 20 mins walking, so the location is quite convenient. It was nice that they have their own vehicle to drop you off at the airport or train station. I had an evening flight, so they allowed me to keep the room for a late check out. I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel. My main complaint was that the room was uncomfortably warm, but I did travel during their hottest time of year.

The rich architecture of Jaisalmer is very much present in this hotel and so is the hospitality. The rooms are absolutely spectacular, specially the deluxe rooms and the restaurant at the top of the hotel has some really good stuff. The manager of the hotel was very kind and helped us plan our trip the right way. Not only that, we had a late train to Jaipur. He also allowed us to stay in the hotel and dropped us off to the railway station. I'd highly recommend the hotel to everyone travelling to Jaisalmer.

Wow, what an absolute Gem
Wow, what an absolute Gem. It is situated literally on the edge of the city so wonderful views of the sun coming up and of Jaisalmer Fort from the rooftop which is also the restaurant. The food is good and very reasonably priced, local and International food available. The WIFI is great. All of the staff were extremely nice and helpful. It would be a pleasure to return.

Una estadía increíble en Helsinki
Lo recomiendo totalmente, la habitación es grande, limpia y la decoración es agradable. El desayuno es variado. Tiene caldera con te y café en el cuarto. El dueño Maru es increíble ! Nos ayudó con todo. Compramos el safari con él y fue perfecto. También nos ayudó con la compra de los tickets del tren y bus. Definitivamente volvería a Helsinki House

Como en casa
Más que el hotel en si, bonito 3 estrellas a pocos pasos del fuerte y con preciosas vistas, es su gente que lo hace especial. Teníamos recogida en la estación del tren incluido en el precio y aunque el tren llegó tarde. Ahí estaba esperándonos. Al llegar al hotel, nos dijeron q como ha sido un viaje largo q descansemos y hagamos el check in al siguiente día y cuando teníamos que coger el tren de vuelta, tuvimos 6 horas de retrasos y nos dejaron descansar en la terraza del hotel, luego nos llevaron a la estación del tren, siendo q esto no estaba incluido. He viajado mucho y hospedado en todo tipo de hotel. Pero ha sido la primera vez q me he sentido como en casa. Si lo recomiendo? Sin dudarlo.

Leuk hotel met restaurant op het dakterras. Kan rumoerig zijn als gasten lang doorgaan op het dakterras. Wij hadden daar last van, maar dat is goed met ons opgelost.
