Ranthambhore Heritage Haveli

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.

I loved this hotel, had been looking forward to staying here and was not disappointed. Situated quite a way down a dirt track means it is so peaceful. Very traditional. Good size pool, not heated. Dinner was served in the garden one evening and in restaurant the other. Very good service, if over attentive at times. Lovely staff, good food, relaxing hotel

I was tired and disgruntled when I arrived. As soon as I stepped inside I knew that I would be well taken care of. It was absolutely gorgeous. Stunning interior courtyard area with fountains. Beautiful wildlife photography on the walls of the hallways. Lovely and welcoming furniture arrangements to enjoy the atmosphere outside of one's room. Superb staff in the buffet restaurant. This would be 5 star review if that had hot water available all the time, or even when they said it would be available. I would go back in a heartbeat, but my shower was cold.

We stayed at Ranthambhore Heritage Haveli as part of a group tour and thoroughly enjoyed our time there! Although it’s located slightly outside the main center, the hotel is stunning, with beautifully maintained grounds that provide a peaceful retreat. The food is quite limited, and did become repetitive after two days, but what was on offer was tasty. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised by hot water bottles delivered in the evening and blankets provided for our safaris - both were much appreciated! The bathroom was very spacious and clean; however, the shower design caused water to pool across the floor. Additionally, the hot water was intermittent - at times taking over 10 minutes to heat up or remaining lukewarm. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend the massage. The therapist was frequently on her phone, the room smelled unpleasant, and the massage itself was average, making it far from a relaxing experience. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would gladly recommend it to travelers, though there are a few minor areas that could be improved.

Not only was this a beautiful and magical place to stay, but the staff was superb. We were able to get laundry service and enjoyed the grounds immensely. The dining room could accommodate my food needs and several of our group were very thankful for the extra care of teas and lemon for a winter cold. My only problem was the fires at night in the dining area. Too close to the tables, and left us smelling like a campfire; but to be fair I was having a problem with smoke everywhere. Beautiful place and great staff!

The tiger watchers were very happy with returning to this serene place and enjoying an atmospheric night with open fires and some local folk dances. Those of us with a bit uneasy stomachs (very common the first days in India, you know...) spent a fine day in the sun on the balconies or in the garden. Very nice and efficient staff. Good buffet dinner.
