This is the perfect place for visitors seeking peace and tranquility after a morning and night in Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. Huge bright and airy rooms, beautifully decorated and well kept, enshrined in traditional architecture on grounds set well back from the main road. The staff are very friendly and the food great. For wildlife enthusiasts, there's nothing owner Balendu Singh... More

Though they do not claim to be a Star rated hotel - but everything is in place which you can expect from a 4 star rated hotel. Rooms are quite large than standard hotels. Hotel staffs were very well behaved and service was excellent. Food quality was also too good. They have window ACs in their rooms - So not... More

Close proximity to park is a major plus. Attractive buildings with interesting architecture. Dining room dark depressing, and food fair at best. No variety to very poor Indian (only) dishes. Room very noisy with minibar fridge to so loud we unplugged it and air conditioning which we turned off preferring a muggy evening to the noise. Staff is detached some... More

We visited the place with our entire family of 20 ppl with kids in Feb 2010. The first view of the premises, lawns rooms etc just took our breath away. The best part about Dev Vilas is that it is a boutique place run by the family offering very a personal service. The rooms are huge with 2 bathrooms in... More

Very nice hotel with big rooms. The staff takes care of you and the atmosphere is very familiar. The food they serve is o.k. but not that big variety. Friendly staff an a very nice house dog called whiskey. We did not used the pool, but it looked very nice and clean. We definitely can recommend this hotel. Everything was... More

We stayed in the hotel from 01st Jan 2012 to 03rd Jan 2012. Rooms are big, well maintained with nice furnishings. Each room has two toilets, which is an ideal thing when you have to rush early in the morning to visit the National Park. The food is excellent. The owner family lives in the premises and looked after each... More

We stayed 2 nights at the Dev Vilas and we enjoyed our experience. The room and the bathroom are spacious, very simply furbished, very clean. The service is very good, also thanks to the presence of the very friendly hotel owner. The staff is incredibly friendly. The hotel is the closest to the park entrance (2 minutes by car) so... More

A few minor quibbles - switchplates, door knobs and around these surfaces could use a wipe now and then - I'm sure with the nature of the clientel (post safari, covered... More

The tent was state of the art, with huge and comfy beds, the washrooms were roomy and well stocked with toiletries...here the bathrooms do not have doors but have strategically put in walls which could be a little embarrassing if you're staying with...
