Ranthambhore Heritage Haveli

This is a well maintained heritage haveli and it gives the feeling of grand days gone by. Hotel staff were attentive. Not a wide selection at breakfast but perfectly adequate - the freshly cooked omelette was very good. Yes, it is down a dusty road, and that is part of an authentic safari experience. Breakfast is served in the courtyard, and dinner was by candlelight in the garden. The pool is not big, but the size is fine for cooling off after safari. We had a ground floor room which had working amenities.

Well, certainly the prettiest I've stayed in. The beautiful gardens are English Country meets Exotic India - and are immaculately tended to. Next, the architecture of the building is truly stunning, with courtyards and fountains, archways and sunny balconies. It is truly a haven away from the hustle and bustle of the town. Last, but certainly not least are the amazing staff, who were always friendly, polite and very efficient at running an often busy hotel - the hotel is used by tour companies, which shows it must be good. However, most tours only stay a couple of nights for safaris and then move on. We had the pleasure of staying 6 nights, as we extended our stay here rather than return to the chaos of Delhi. During our stay the general manager Kamran was an absolute star. We had no safaris booked and this was our main purpose of visiting. He organised 5 safaris for us in different zones, with drivers to take and pick us up. These were canter safaris, as jeeps get booked up months in advance. I was sceptical that the canter would be as good as a jeep because but it certainly was. In fact on several occasions the canters had better tiger sightings than the jeeps and it was great to have a mixture of nationalities making friends spotting wildlife. The manager, Kamran also organised a driver to take us to the very impressive Ranthambore Fort, where we spent a couple of hours walking. Finally Kamran went out of his way to advise us on train seats and book tickets for us back to Delhi. We greatly appreciated his help and the rest of his team throughout.

Lovely place and I enjoyed my stay here.The rooms were really nice and spacious and the food and service was excellent. I really wish they would clean away the dead cows (and trash) which are right outside the property though. We went for walk ***** the entrance road to see what birds we could see. There were lots of birds around but the constant smell of decaying animals got a bit much and was overpowering at times. Could the animals not be moved/buried away from the road and out of of sight?
