When greeted at 1st Gate Home Fusion, we were told that we may have arrived as guests but we will leave as someone a part of their family and they couldnât have put it better. Everything about this place is so homely, from the vibe, the staff and the dĂ©cor. When deciding to choose a place to stay at Jaisalmer we were torn between inside the fort or outside and owing several reasons we chose the latter and glad we were to do so. Located just outside the fort entrance, 1st Gate Home Fusion has the incredible advantage of location-you can choose to walk to the fort for a sunset and sunrise or head out to the several places in Jaisalmer. The rooms here receive a special mention-no two rooms are alike when it comes to dĂ©cor, extremely tasteful and eye pleasing, with larger windows, unlike most places to stay at Jaisalmer. There is a gym, several seating areas, a pool and a very friendly dog, Simba! The breakfast is good and the unlimited tea and coffee and cookies, cake and water bottles are a splendid addition. The reviews that we read mentioned about the Italian restaurant being the best in Jaisalmer and it is entirely true. They serve Italian, Indian and some Rajasthani delights too. If there, do try out their special coffee! I must mention the courteousness of the owner who proposed to pack us food when we were leaving for the airport after a hearty lunch there although we had checked out a day earlier to stay at a desert camp. Highly recommended!
