Nahargarh Ranthambhore

This is a very beautiful Property giving you the feel of luxury. The interiors and rooms are very beautiful. It has 3 pools. The entire Property is very spacious. The food options are great for both vegetarians and non vegetarian. The buffet spread has something to cater to everyone's taste buds. The location is perfect situated in the middle of jungle with easy access for safari. The staff is very courteous and makes sure you have a pleasant stay.

Its a beautiful building with complete Rajputana grandeur. It is a vast property, worth exploring. But staff, services and food are a let down. Once you are checked in, nobody is bothered of your well being. Bathroom and toiletries are below par. Luckily we were on the top floor of the front section, so had the whole chhatri for our personal use. The view of Ranthambore hills was beautiful and that was the saving grace.

My biggest problem with this hotel is that it’s full board and the food was subpar at best. The Internet was absolutely awful, and they admitted it didn’t work in the rooms. The beds were hard and the rooms. Just OK. I have no idea how it has such great reviews.They couldn’t even make eggs over. Easy to order. It’s very pricey for what you can find in India and definitely not worth the price tag. On the flipside, the grounds are spectacular.

We enjoyed our stay at the Nahargarh Ranthambhore. However we were slightly disappointed with the service both in the rooms and at reception. The guys in the restaurant are all nice and helpful but somehow always in your face. Also I think that they should be trained not to stare at guests all the time. We were surprised to see that there were no women working in the hotel. Just men. Overall a nice stay.

We stayed here for 3 nights in their larger room option as part of a tour package which we did some game drives. The hotel is superb. The rooms are huge and really nicely kitted out. Some reviews say they are a bit dated - hmm, it’s modelled on a Haveli so that’s sort of the point? The facilities are beautiful - the larger pool area is simply stunning. It’s a bit weird to go for a swim there, and you can’t sunbathe as all the beds are under cover, but it is astonishingly beautiful. The smaller pool is much more practical and near the spa, which was also nice if a bit pricey. The food is really good if you’re into curry. The kids were a little over it by the time we arrived this hotel and we were all desperate for some veggies - so they were really helpful in preparing fried chicken, stir-fried veggies and some fries. They also made pizza another night. A godsend. Perhaps it would be good to offer this sort of thing on a menu rather than on a hopeful request. The staff in the restaurant were excellent and super kind - even remembering the kids’ breakfast order and arriving with it before they even asked! The wine and beer was reasonably priced - £30 for a bottle of Indian wine which was surprisingly drinkable, and £5 for a large local beer. We loved it and would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our time at Nahargarh. Lovely spacious rooms and feeling of space in the hotel - you rarely saw other guests other than when dining. We had the pool to ourselves in-between the morning and afternoon tiger safaris (yes, we did see tigers in the afternoon - it was wonderful!). Found it strange that some of the photographs on the bedroom walls were of hunting groups with tigers they had shot - but I guess that is the history of the place? The staff were helpful and friendly. On our second night the chef made us a vegan feast - which was wonderful and we would like to thank him and his team very much. We stayed two nights but would have liked to stay a little longer to appreciate this hotel.
