Hotel Helsinki House

Helsinki house is a beautifully decorated hotel with incredible rooms that are not only spacious but gorgeous. It has a view of the fort and the food we ordered from the rooftop dinner was some of the best food we have had (the Thali and Palak Paneer especially). The staff was very attentive and helped us a lot, especially all the restaurant staff. The location means that it is a quiet area and you can get a good night of rest in the super comfortable bed provided. The WIFI was one of the best we have experienced in Rajasthan, which is important for us as we also had to work from the hotel.

Built to mimic the old Haveli style, the rooms were big and spacious. Big windows allowed for light to filter in making the rooms look bright and airy. The rooms were also decorated very colourfully. The staff there were very nice and courteous. Maru, the proprietor, went out of his way to ensure the comfort of the guests. We mentioned in passing that we were wanting to try Dal Pakwan. He immediately got into a call with one of the most famous dal Pakwan shops, and asked them to hold a couple of plates for us while we went. If he hadn’t done that we would have missed it, as he’d sold out by the time we reached . He also negotiated with a bike rental place nearby for the best price for day’s rental. He’s also very nice to talk to and told us about the history of the place and the uniqueness of the property’s name. Food was also very good. Solid options in the breakfast menu, and they make it hot for you when you choose what you want. The restaurant on the rooftop allows for a nice view of the fort on one side and the vastness of the Thar on the other. Location wise, while it’s not centrally located, its not out of the way. It’s only about a km away from the fort (which is central Jaisalmer). The hotel can arrange for autos or cabs on request. It’s also accessible by taxis on the apps. We also booked their desert safari package, with stay at their desert camp. That was also a superlative experience, which probably needs its own review.

The interior of hotel is vey beautiful. Rooms are clean and tidy . Rooms are comparable to 3 - star . Owner of hotel is very polite and welcoming. Food at roof top restaurant is delicious.

We did not eat breakfast there. But lunch was good. Staff was excellent. They were courteous and helpful. Mr. M. Than went to the extent of driving us to the station at 2 am. We loved the rooftop dining hall.

Huge and cozy room with all the facilities. The managers were very nice and helped us in everything we needed. Great views of Jaisalmer Fort from the terrace. This is a great hotel!
