Pipalda Kalan hotels from RM48

"Magnifique petit éco-resort bien intégré dans la nature environnante et à quelques minutes en voiture des lieux de rendez-vous pour les safaris dans le parc de Ranthambore. Nous avions loué une villa avec vue sur l’étang. L’hébergement était parfait avec un brin de rusticité mais une propreté excellente. Nous étions en formule tout inclu et les repas étaient formidables. La cuisine est végétarienne mais variée et très goûteuse. La force du lieu est son personnel omniprésent pour répondre à tous les besoins, dont organiser les transports pour rejoindre les safaris. C’est un hébergement que je recommande sans hésiter pour une immersion nature. Le seul bémol: régler le problème de voisinage car bien que le resort soit en pleine nature, un voisin pas si lointain faisait jouer de la musique à tue tête à tout moment de la journée."

"Nice eco hotel with lots of extras such as shows, games and activities for kids, good food and close to safari park"

"An oasis just 10mins from Ranthambore National Park, with spacious and very clean rooms, strong, adjustable A/C, and inviting well kept grounds that allow you to escape from the noise and hustle of India. Yes, it is two mins down a dirt road from the main drag -but that also means that you can't hear the unfortunate soundtrack of India -constant car horn honking. Since this is isolated, your meals will largely be here and that isn't a problem, as the food is exquisitely prepared and some of the best we had on our trip to India -not to mention reasonable. Breakfast was included in our rate and we had so much to eat that we didn't need lunch. This is a great spot to stay at for your safari as they are just 10mins from the entrance to Ranthambore Park and then you can return back to this spot, have a swim, or sit outside and read a book in their lovely gardens. Staff is very attentive and accommodating, even arranging a last minute private car for the 5hr drive to New Delhi at a price 20% lower than two other companies had quoted me. Very happy and you will be too if you stay here. Also, of note, because it isn't too clear on the booking details, but the 'family room' is essentially your own little house with two bedrooms (2 twins and one King) and a sitting area. Each with its own AC unit. Oh, and the hotel has strong WiFi with multiple different routers ensuring strong signal across the property."

"Wonderful experience at the Tiger Villa, so glad we stayed there. Gracious and warm staff, beautiful facility, room, pool, and great food. (Thanks Anand!) I strongly recommend."

"Spent 2 days here and had a great experience. Excellent food - both breakfast and dinner. Quiet place with basic amenities. The cottage was adequate for a short stay and the staff was friendly. Enjoyed the wild life, mainly monkeys, within the property as well. The only negative point was the internet. The wifi was extremely slow and not much 4G coverage inside the room so wifi was the only option."

"The most outstanding resort we’ve ever stayed in. Found a tiger on safari too"

"Great place to stay for safaris in Ranthambore if pickups are part of your safati package. Hotel is only accessible by a 1-2 km-long dirt road which is not uber accessible. Be aware that getting out to do stuff is therefore difficult if you don't have a driver waiting or pickup by gypsy jeep for safari. That said, hotel is a nice retreat between safaris. Staff were kind and caring though few spoke English. Laundry service was inexpensive and wonderful. Buffets plentiful but Indian dishes were less elevated than some in the Indian premium hotel buffet competition! Room was spacious. Furnishings and decor not fancy but certainly comfortable. Bed was wonderful. Linens high quality. Bathroom midern, clean with a great shower. Gym spacious but modestly equipped. Pool large and clean. Live entertainment at dinner was loud and intrusive though some guests loved it. Standout at this hotel was spacious room and caring staff. Just be aware of the issue with road access if you're not happy being stuck at the hotel between safaris. "

"Fantastic staff and clean quiet location. Opi (hotel manager) was so helpful. He arranged great safaris for us even though we had not booked anything in advance. Great people, great place!"

"Near to zones 1 to 5. Beautiful hotel with good staff. Tejas in dining service was especially helpful. "
