Could be great!

Hotel is in a quiet but convenient location between the train station and the Safari booking office. Room was dark with only one main light. Bathroom was smelly and water did not drain well after showing. Restaurant was incredibly slow-- 45 min to make dinner. Otherwise friendly staff!

The hotel management made our family (7 people ) wait since they couldn't find the booking info when we reached the \"so called resort\". THE. PLACE SHOULD NOT BE CALLED \"RESORT\" The toilet tank was leaking and we found several bugs in the room. Finally the owner/manager gave us another room. The guy who served us breakfast was very nice. I will never recommend this place to anyone.

Nice clean hotel, well managed.

Hotel was nice, but unfortunatelyTiger safari in Ranthambore was poor value. Spent half of the time picking up and dropping off from other hotels, guides seemed keen on getting home again as quick as possible. Viewings of animals poor, would not recommend.

Hotel was decent value for the money.

Our stay was okay. The food was good and they said it was prepared to tourist standards but we got sick eating the vegetable salad. If you make tiger safari reservations online and use the ticket pick up service, I think they take the best zones (where there may be a kill so the tigers will be there the second and third day) and give them to the big foreign tour groups. I had five different reservations and lost my zone 1 (got zone 4 instead). I did get the other four zones that I reserved so it seems fishy to lose only the best one.

Our room was very dark. Staff brought up a lamp but it only marginally helped. Other rooms (smaller ones on the ground floor) seemed to be more well lit. Our blanket cover smelled like BO but staff changed it when we asked. You also need to know that a switch controls the in-room water heater (so you need to turn it on in advance before taking a shower).

I think the hotel is a little far from the park gate so we seemed to always be the first ones to be picked up by the cantor (a good thing). There is also a small convenience store nearby to get snacks and drinks.

Nice small hotel with indoor and outdoor seating.

Our only reason for being in Ranthambhore was to see a tiger.
Booked on-line and reviews seemed good. Was expecting a 'Cottage' but was just an upstairs unit.
In-house meals were tasty and authentic.
We SAW 2 tigers, so all good. Nothing nearby to walk to. Empty site next to pool was an eyesore, but pool itself was refreshing in the winter.

Good hotel for safaris, not long stay relaxation.

Clean rooms, and a manager with a sense of humor and good English language skills. The \"resort\" name is misleading to westerners, as this is an average dated hotel with an in-ground pool only. No gardens, tennis area, etc. to denote a \"resort.\"
A distance from the Tiger reserve, and a service charge is made for safari tours, and no choice of regions.
Meals are on menu only, no buffet as other higher class hotels, but the food is good. Staff very limited in English proficiency to be a tourist hotel except for the many Indian quests. Hot water is limited to two times a day by set hours. Door man at night for security. Separated toilet seat from shower stall a plus, but no sink counter or place for toiletries in the bathroom. No washroom floor mats. Cable TV has 24 stations with Indian language ONLY, no English stations. No safe in our room, and the ceiling fan was unbalanced and made noise constantly.

Nice place close to the park

Nice hotel close to Ranthambore National Park. The staff was helpful and pleasant. The restaurant while kind of dark and lacking in ambiance served excellent food. Our room was large and had several windows with a relaxing balcony. The only real negative was that the pool was not in very clean condition when we were there.

Gateway to Ranthambore

I stayed at this hotel for the purpose of exploring Ranthambore National Park. The hotel is quite nice, especially given the price. The staff were very helpful with the manager being particular so. In addition the manager speaks perfect English, has a good sense of humor, and helped accomodate my special requests. The restaurant is a good option for the area. Given the multitude of options to stay at near Ranthambore, this is a good choice. Unfortunately, the town itself is fairly dirty and offers little outside the proximity to the park.

Nice option for budget travellers

I stayed here for two nights. The manager of the hotel is kind and very helpful. Service at the restaurant good. Rooms are clean and cottage rooms were spacious, the normal rooms are quite small and had little to no natural light. Good value place to stay in the area as many other places are very expensive or not great quality. Would recommend the stay here. One improvement would be to change table clothes after each guest as they get quite dirty and it is not pleasant to eat from the table afterwards.

One of the worst

This place has a most arrogant attitude towards customer and others, that one is best to avoid stay at this Hotel.
The so called Manager (Rahul Desai) is the most arrogant person on this earth.
We witnessed two customer walking out with argument with this guy.
He even has audacity to force gratuity given to Rathombore Tger Reserve staff to give it to him.
Please avoid this establishment.

Great Value & Nice Hotel

I stayed at Hotel Tiger Reserve for 2 nights in January 2014. This is one of the few more budget priced hotels in the area, which is growing by leaps and bounds with plenty of high end options. I was exceptionally pleased with my experience.

The staff is very helpful and fluent in English. They will make all safari arrangements or in my case, where I pre-booked by safari's online, they took care of the step in which you wait in line for an hour for the lottery assignment and obtaining the boarding pass. The fee charged for this service was very reasonable and with 2 safaris on one day, I greatly appreciated not having to do this myself. If you do want to take care of this yourself, they will arrange for transportation to the boarding pass location at the appropriate time.

Both the day of the safari and the day I left by early train, they arranged for wake-up calls They also provide different breakfast seating times for those with and without a safari to ensure those heading out early get something to eat before. There is also the option to have breakfast after the early safari.

There were some limitations on hot water due to the use of generators. They make great efforts to ensure you know the hot water timeframe and this worked out well, despite the small limitations.

Overall, i would highly recommend this hotel in the area for a reasonably priced option. The hotel and service provided was excellent.

Don't expect much… but dining good

Well, with the very poor quality of our room, we were quite surprised by the good food and kitchen service. So our 'super deluxe' room was 1) very cold -had to rent a heater at INS 400 per night, 2) poor water quality -the shower head in the middle of the bathroom spits tepid water just enough to wet your hair (and that's when you abide by the 'hot water' schedule), 3) the beds are anything but comfortable, 4) the electricity keeps going out and the WiFi only works periodically, 5) the lighting is absolutely horrendous. Positive aspect: blankets are complimentary for safaris (and they are needed especially if you do an early morning safari) and the outdoor terrace can be somewhat pleasant. If in Ranthambhore, you should consider your options.

Great Experience

The hotel was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The manager was welcoming from the moment I arrived. He took the time to answer my numerous safari-related questions (with helpful insights gleaned from his personal safari experiences) and make all necessary arrangements. It is obvious that he is genuinely concerned with providing a great experience to his guests. The dining room opens early to provide breakfast for guests on morning safari. An added benefit of the location (between the booking office and the park) is that you are typically among the first people picked up by safari vehicles, so you can get a good seat.

below expectation.

this village/town does not has many hotels so choice is limited.
upfront avoid travelling to this village/town altogether. the safari is not worth the effort.
room windows were leaky. i stayed in early winter and cold draft from the window made for an uncomfortable sleep.
bed/mattress quality for poor.
smallish tv had poor signal.
hot water supply is limited to a few hours and even then is an on and off affair.
food was average. price was unreasonably high for such a small village/town.
service was ok but it came at unreasonable price.
hotel room rate itself is high.
and then everything else is priced unreasonably high.
most hotels accomodate late checkout at little to no cost while this hotel asked for half the room rate for only a few hours.
taxi availability is poor and costs much.
auto ride is uncomfortable.
since hotel is located at a distance from everything you do not have much choice.
auto/taxi has to be called for or you have to wait hoping somebody would pass and pick you up.

Helpful efficient staff

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and the pool was a real treat! Food was top notch - freshly made. Our questions and concerns over some previous booking errors (made by ourselves) were efficiently resolved and our stay was then worry free. A jeep safari was arranged for us at the last minute and even though we were not lucky to see a tiger up close, others in the resort did. Excellent value for the cost!

Average condition, helpful staff

I stayed in this hotel because it was one of the locations where the Tiger Safari would pick me up. The room was nothing special, but the hotel staff was helpful and I could pay 100 rupees to have them pick up my safari tickets in the morning so I didn't have to get up so early. The hotel had a large backup generator, which was necessary because the power would often go out. The restaurant attached to the hotel was one of the most expensive restaurants I went to in all of India.

Thanks to the manager a brilliant stay!!

We stayed on the 14th & 15th of April in room 108. we booked through expedia and was very happy with our room. breakfast was included and was great. The Manager?Owner of the hotel was so helpful to us, he booked the safari for us and even arranged for us to get a car when we didnt get on our train. The rest of the staff however seemed uninterested with their guests and seemed put out that guests wanted something, it sometimes felt like we were interupting them. the only reason we gave 4 for staff was because of the manager. Room was clean, food was good. The area of the restaurant is maybe not as clean as it could be considering there were lots of staff about.

hotel limpo e confortável com boa comida

O hotel é menor do que o esperado mas o quarto era grande e a cama confortável. A água quente fica disponível apenas algumas horas por dia, não dura muito e não tem muita pressao no chuveiro. A área é tranquila e segura e não muito longe da estação de trem. O safari é maravilhoso, indico. A comida do hotel vinha bem servida e estava saborosa. O café da manhã é buffet e só há carne - um prato por quarto - no jantar.

部屋は綺麗で、お湯もしっかり出てくれました。スタッフの方も皆明るく快適に過ごすことができました。

ただ、夕飯が少し高いと感じました。味はなかなかだったかな。
当日行ってみたら朝食が混みだったのですが、事前には記載されてなかったのでそこが分かると良いですね。
周りに食事のできるところは皆無なので、ホテルの食事事情はサワイマドプールでは重要です。

Safari au Ranthambore

Notre séjour s'est bien passé dans cet hôtel. Par contre l'eau chaude n'est disponible qu'à certaines heures (une fois le matin et une fois le soir pendant 2-3 heures) et les chambres ne sont pas chauffés. Du coup si vous vous y rendez l'hiver vous risquez de ne pas avoir très chaud. Ils louent des chauffages électriques pour la nuit mais il faut les payer. Sinon ils peuvent vous organiser le Safari au Ranthambore National Park sans problèmes mais il prendront une commission dessus (2000 roupies tout compris / personne pour un safari en Jeep et 1600 roupies tout compris / personne pour un safari en Canter). Par contre une personne viendra vous chercher devant l'hôtel et vous y déposera au retour, c'est l'avantage.

Really good

This hotel has the coolest and best hotel manager ever.

Has it's own restaurant with a very good chef.

The inner yard is secluded and cosy. The pool is very nice.

Unfortunately, as is often the case in India, there is absolutely no sound insulation, atleast not on the first two floors in the main building. The sound from the lobby travels straight into your room.

The balconies are very, very nice.

Highly recommended if you wanna get away from the hectic and crowdy pulse in Delhi or Agra.
