We stayed here for two nights as we visited Ranthambore National Park. This little hotel had one of the best and most reasonably priced gift shops we ran across in India. We purchased a beautiful original water color on silk at a very good price. The rooms were large and comfortable but a bit dated. There was one full bath... More

Stayed for three nights in Dev Vilas as we were visiting Ranthambhore National Park. Accommodation was excellent, as room was massive and had extra toilet and wash facilities, as well as main bathroom. Staff were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Food was very nice and wide selection. Again, restaurant manager Gordon took time to explain what everything... More

I stayed here for two nights while I was going on safaris at Ranthambore National Park. The hotel is conveniently located right beside the gates of the park.... More

Stayed here for 2 nights. Food was ok, staff all very polite, room was adequate and clean. Generally would have given this hotel a positive review except for when we went to meet their "in-house" elephant.The poor thing was on an extremely short chain, unable to reach any shade. The keeper when asked if she gets to walk around said... More

Nice location close to the Forest. Calm and quite place. Nice staff. must have a bit more variety of food. SErvice was quite impressive. room heating needs to be a bit more impressive. Rooms are quite big. If you are not quit fussy, i would recommend stay there for a couple of days to enjoy nature and refresh yourself.

We stayed here for three nights while looking for tigers in Ranthambhore. Our room was in the main building and was really large and comfortable and boasted two loos to make those early morning starts a bit easier. The whole hotel is really set up for safaris and is very well organised. In the early morning, as you set out... More
