The staff were super friendly and helpful. Whatever you need, they will assist you with it from booking a desert tour, to renting a motorcycle or just getting a tuktuk. They really put their hearts into running their business. They are in a prime location and the food is delicious. They arranged for an overnight desert safari which was an incredible experience. I highly recommend it.

“One of the best New Year stays in Jaisalmer with an amazing safari and warm hosts”
I had an amazing stay at Open Road Hostel in Jaisalmer. The people here are truly great and very welcoming. The desert safari they organize is awesome and was one of the highlights of my trip. I had a great time and it was one of the best New Year celebrations I have ever had, with beautiful traditional music that made the night unforgettable. The traditional music was also part of the safari, which made the experience even more special. The hosts are warm, welcoming, and extremely helpful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Jaisalmer.

“Wonderful experience at Open Road hostel”
Recently booked my stay at Open Road hostel during my Jaisalmer solo trip. They also arranged a non touristic safari which was much much better than the usual one. Food, people, camel ride and born fire at unknown desert looking at stars was wonderful experience. Vivian and aparna owner of the hostel are really helpful. Highly recommended whoever is travelling to Jaisalmer.

“Perfect base in Jaisalmer with friendly staff and an amazing desert safari experience.”
I stayed at Open Road Hostel & Café in Jaisalmer and had a great experience! The location was perfect — close to everything but still peaceful. The staff were friendly and helped organise an overnight desert safari, which turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip. Sleeping under the stars in the dunes was an unforgettable experience. Definitely recommend this place if you’re visiting Jaisalmer!

A gem of an hostel. Everything from location, architecture, to the hospitality of the owners, to the rooftop & food, was perfect. They helped me plan my trip around Rajasthan by sharing a lot of local insights, and their non-touristic safari in the Thar desert was very relaxing and I loved it. Thank you for being so kind & making your guests feel so comfortable !

My stay at Open Road Hostel in Jaisalmer was truly unforgettable. The location is perfect — just a short walk from the iconic Jaisalmer Fort, and the rooftop view of the fort is absolutely breathtaking.The hostel team was incredibly kind, hospitable, and friendly, making me feel more like a family guest than a traveler. They shared great local tips about what to see and where to go in Jaisalmer, helping me explore the city beyond the usual tourist spots.One of the best parts of the stay was joining their non-touristy desert camping trip. It was an incredible experience — spending the night under a million stars, surrounded by peaceful dunes, and enjoying tasty local food prepared fresh on-site. It felt raw, authentic, and magical.Everything about Open Road Hostel — from its cozy vibe and delicious food to its warm-hearted people — made my Jaisalmer trip one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine and unforgettable stay in Jaisalmer.

“Great rooftop views, awesome hosts and staff and a unique hostel experience.”
Amazing rooftop views looking up towards the Jaisalmer Fort and in the other direction looking over the town. Really cool couches and tables to chill on whilst admiring the view. The hosts were very friendly and had good knowledge of things to do and see in the area.

“Best place to stay in Jaisalmer”
The place is great, location is great, the vibe of the hostel is really cool and the owners Vivian and Aparna are really friendly and lovely. Aside from going to great efforts to make me feel at home they also organised an overnight desert safari/camp which was beyond incredible.

“Amazing hospitality, amenities and location”
Lovely hostel/ hotel with fantastic facilities and atmosphere. Vivian and Aparna and their wee daughter were wonderful lovely hosts, along with the other staff. They were very accommodating, great to hang out and talk with and ready and willing to help with anything needed. There is a lovely terrace as well as rooftop and pool table for socialising which was added bonus. They also organise a top notch camel safari and sleep under the desert stars which has been a definite highlight of my India trip so far. Couldn't recommend highly enough

“Clean en attractive hostel with a great vision and vibe!”
Directly when we arrived we felt we leveled very well with the Amazing owners of open Road. They are in for lighthearted chats and deep conversations, and explain you more about the South and north indian culture. The rooftop is very chill (to see the sunset & fort) and the room looks cosy and clean! We also experienced the dessert tour and returned after since we liked it so much.
