Just perfect
I spent three nights at 1st Gate Home Fusion in Jaisalmer and can honestly say it was one of the most caring hotel experiences I’ve had anywhere.
The hotel is perfectly positioned right at the base of Jaisalmer Fort. My private balcony looked directly up at the fort, and in the evenings I was treated to not one but two wonderfully colourful wedding processions passing below — an unexpected and memorable bonus.
My room was spotless and very comfortable, with a good bed and plenty of hot water. I appreciated the thoughtful inclusions: a complimentary fruit basket, biscuits, cold drinks, drinking water and crisps in the room, along with gowns, slippers and excellent bathroom amenities.
Throughout the day the hotel offers complimentary drinking water, tea, coffee and cake, which made it feel more like being in a gracious home than a hotel. After dinner each evening, a complimentary dessert was also offered, and breakfast included freshly squeezed orange and watermelon juice. I also enjoyed a lovely Ayurvedic massage in the spa room.
All of this was wonderful — but it truly pales into insignificance compared to how I was personally looked after.
The housekeeping staff noticed that I was drinking a lot of water and quietly ensured extra bottles were placed in my room each day without me having to ask.
Most significant of all was the kindness shown by the hotel manager, Peter, and his team. I was unwell during my stay, suffering from a heavy cold and fever and feeling quite exhausted. Peter noticed immediately and, entirely unprompted, arranged repeated deliveries of ginger, lemon and honey tea to my room.
When Peter learned that I had a five-hour drive ahead of me after checking out, he insisted on providing a complimentary lunch pack for the journey — another thoughtful gesture that perfectly summed up the care I experienced.
It was done with genuine warmth and attentiveness, and it gave me real peace of mind. I felt that if my condition had worsened, I would have been exceptionally well looked after, which as a solo traveller was a great comfort. That level of kindness and human concern is rare, and it made my stay truly memorable.
I would return without hesitation and recommend 1st Gate Home Fusion wholeheartedly — not just for its location and comforts, but for the people who make it such a special place.

A great place to stay very close to the gate of the fort. The food in the rooftop restaurant was very good. The staff went out of their way to be sure you had everything you needed or wanted. They helped to arrange a night safari, salon appointments, provided colors for Holi and food for lunch when everything was closed. I cannot say enough about how helpful and friendly the staff is. The room was spacious and nice. A great place to stay!

Best service and great rooms
This was an absolutely fantastic experience. Perhaps the best hotel service I've experienced. From the moment we entered, you could tell that the owner and staff really took pride in their hotel -- the service was excellent from the jump.
They took the time to learn each of our names, expedited our check-in process while we were doing other things, went out and bought us plug converters when we needed them.
Beyond that, there are two examples of when they went above and beyond: 1) when they heard I was having a stomach problem in the morning, they cooked something special for me and sent it to my room.
2) They are meant to have cake all day for whenever you want it, but they had run out by the time we got back toward the end of the day. We looked in the dining area to see if any cake was left, and since it wasn't, we just silently made our way to our rooms. One of the staff realized what we were looking for, got more slices of cake and brought it to our rooms without us even asking.

1st Gate; 1st Class
This is a very easy review to write:
1st gate is 1st class!
The hotel is graded as a 3 star, but it most definitely has the charm, service, location and customer care of any (of the many) 5 star hotels in which we have stayed in our travels to India.
Jaisalmer is a special city, small and 'human-sized', built of glorious golden sandstone; rising handsomely out of the desert. 1st gate is the perfect place to explore its magical backstreets, full of intricately carved houses and airy havelis. The hotel is built in a just such a traditional style and sits in a prime location, right opposite the majestic fort, which provides an unforgettable backdrop for the excellent dining at the rooftop restaurant. The interior is carefully designed to reflect the traditional colours and fabrics of the area and is a pleasure to return to after a busy day of exploration - in the city or in the desert beyond it.
The staff are the crowning glory here. Manish has created a lovely hotel and Peter is a first class manager. Nothing is too much trouble. His recommendation for a half day tour to the desert was spot-on, including the thoughtful gift of a lunch to ensure we were well prepared. Water bottles are handed out every time you leave the building; a picnic lunch for our onward flight was another charming element of customer care. Thank you to all the team for what shines out from all these reviews: you really make your guests feel special. Atithi Devo Bhava for sure! We will remember our time with you with much happiness!
