Just sitting on the well mown lawns surrounded by a variety of large tropical plants you feel you could be back in the days of the British Raj. The rooms are low level and a joy to stay in. Meals were good and the staff helpful, particularly when they were glad to drive us in a buggy between our rooms... More

The location is on outskirts of the Ranthambore town and convenient for the Nature Reserve and the Railway Station, The hotel has got character and is set in large grounds with a good sized modern swimming pool and sun loungers. There are many mature trees and shrubbery in the grounds and a well kept lawn. There is plenty of wild... More

This is a well maintained retreat. Had gone there for my bday and spent quite a pleasant weekend with family. The staff here is courteous & helpful and could provide food for my baby niece at odd hours which was really a boon. The buffet spread was limited considering it is the Taj group but was understandable as this is... More

We stayed for three nights in the Lodge and were offered an upgrade to a suite, which was really quite luxurious, we even had a small, private garden to ourselves.The entire site is actually a green garden, very nicely kept. I can't fault the place at all - staff were all very helpful and friendly. Evenings can be spent on... More

Beautiful property, courteous staff and decent food. AND I saw a tiger on safari from here ! I really couldn't have asked for more. Let me talk some more about the hotel now. Location: It's not really inside the jungle, but then Ranthambore doesn't really have any good resorts. They're all in Sawai Madhopur which is 10 kms away from... More

What a lovely place after the hourly burly of travelling. Peaceful grounds, lovely staff, good food especially the ice cream, could have stayed for more than the one night. Didn't see a tiger but the naturalist was very knowledgable about the other wildlife.

Spacious room and bathroom with separate large shower. Lovely decor. Beautiful setting and gardens. Good Food and great service. Everything worked as it should have. Think the Tigers may be a conspiracy theory though. Agree - 1 game drive is probably enough. I would have preferred to spend the afternoon relaxing at the hotel on one of the comfortable verandas...

This Lodge made our stay in India. It is very old fashioned with an easy,slow pace that evokes an atmosphere of a bygone age. The place is not too large and doesn't pretend to have joined the 21st century and is all the better for it. The room was equally quaint with a huge and perfectly adequate bathroom, beware of...

This was a great respite from the madness of India. The hotel was quiet and never seemed too busy. There is only one option for dining, but luckily they do a great job and provide a few non-Indian food choices. The spa and spa staff could use an upgrade, but elsewhere the service was outstanding and genuine, and the rooms... More
