This place is a haven of tranquility in the chaos that is India. It's full of old world charm and it's glorious and facinating history is still very evident....previous guests include British Royalty !! Full of original 1930's features it has a very nostalgic feel. I particularly loved the original Art Deco living room, and library. Under the "very hands... more

Despite previous reviews, the Sawai Madhopur Lodge was a pleasant stay. We stayed there for 3 nights and arrived there very late at night. The night staff, were excellent and catered for our every need.They were even better then the day staff. Day staff did need alot of pushing and questioning but eventually they met with our requests which was... more

Taj Sawai Madhopur Lodge welcomed us with open arms. The compound was reminiscent of its past glory: once a hunting lodge for the Maharaja of Rajasthan. Pictures of British Royalties in their glory years decorate the main lodge...even the "taxidermied" tigers and leopards are there for proof! The main lodge houses the dining area and refreshment center. as well as... more

THere is one thing that people come to this part of India to do, see the tigers. While there is never a guarantee, it is a government rigged system. The hotel can book your canter or gypsy rides, but are obtuse and evasive when it comes to being helpful equally to all their guests with regards to the rides into... more

My daughter and I recently returned from a 3-week tour of India and one of the highlights of our trip was our two-night stay at The Sawai Madhopur Lodge in Ranthambore. We stayed in a 3-room suite - sitting room, bedroom and huge marble bathroom complete with separate shower stall and deep marble-wrapped soaking tub. From check-in to meals to... more

I loved this hotel but did not like the front desk staff or the price. The main building of the hotel is an original 1930's hunting lodge. The main lounge, office and games room and veranda are all a joy to spend time in as the fixtures haven't been touched for years and it even smells nostalgic. This feels like... more

Rooms were very average but clean, bathrooms had been updated a few years ago. The main building housed the restaurant area. The meals were big enough (buffet style) but a bit boring. The pool looked nice and clean but we didnt use it. The gardens were well maintained. We ate outside one evening and that was very pleasant (gas heating).... more

I have given this an "ok" rating although i hesitated. The hotel is run by the Taj Group so you would have thought it would be good. But i think they have forgotten it exists. In its time, it must have been nice - but there are now nicer places to stay! The lure of staying in an old hunting... more
