The Tigress, Ranthambhore hotel garners applause for its spacious, luxurious rooms and a range of amenities, including a spa and pool, though a few guests have encountered minor service issues. Its location is celebrated for its proximity to Ranthambore National Park, but some find it isolated for dining variety.

This resort is at the end of a very long access road, which is really a dirt track & not a road. All along the dirt road there is trash and you pass a scum covered pond and some agricultural fields also. The resort is also outside of town, so you can’t really walk out and experience the culture of the place. Having said that, the Tigress resort is exemplary. The rooms are humongous as are the bathrooms. The electrical sockets in the room are modern & will accept international charger plugs. The staff service is excellent, as is the food. There are some suggestions I have. Not criticisms but suggestions. 1) Lower the height of the magnifying mirror in the bathroom. I am 5’10 and even I had to crane my neck to be able to see myself in it. Women and men shorter than 5’10 will be unable to use the mirror. 2) Water tends to flow out of the shower. Increase the height of the separation strip between shower & rest of bathroom to prevent this. 3) Marble floor in the shower tends to get slippery increasing the risk of falls. Senior citizens are at risk of falls. Install sturdy Grab-bars in the shower. I would recommend this place. And would stay here again.

We stayed 2 nights at The Tigress as a slight detour on our Golden Triangle tour so that we could do the tiger safari.
The Tigress is beautiful! We were in 2 rooms on the second floor of one of the garden apartments. It was so peaceful, especially compared to the bustling cities we’d come from . The rooms were massive! A huge bed, settee, tv, window seating area, then a hallway by the door with a wardrobe and mirror area leading into a huge bathroom with a double sink vanity area, standalone shower area and a sunken bath with steps up to it. Luxurious! There were 4 small bottles of water in the room and small toiletries provided (including toothbrush and toothpaste).
There was just one restaurant which provided a buffet and there was a chef in the outdoor courtyard seating area who would make freshly cooked vegetables or dosas/omelettes in the morning. the evening, lunch and breakfast buffets all catered mainly for an Indian palate with plenty of vegetarian and curry options available. For breakfast there was cereal and a limited continental buffet as well as the omelette’s outside. Staff were very attentive, Batti Lal in particular. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The outdoor setting was very pleasant in the evening with live local music and dancing to enjoy.
The pool area was lovely and we made use one afternoon. There were pool tables available but we didn’t see any staff nearby so you had to go and get drinks yourself. A family came by the pool later on, blasting music out of their phone and jumping in the pool, splashing other guests. This went unchallenged and ruined the ambience so we left.
There used to be a spa available. My friend had a great experience with a lovely massage, however my Indian head massage and foot scrub was not great, in fact it was pretty painful despite me saying on the form light touch only and with the type of treatments I chose I wasn’t expecting to have my legs pummelled and head vigorously squeezed. As a typical Brit I didn’t say anything, but would advise you’ve very clear about what you’d like in advance as the leaflet was very different to what I got!
I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, as I loved the room so much but there were just a couple of little things (food selection, noisy guests not being approached and the spa experience) that have led me to give it 4 stars. Still, a very lovely hotel that I would recommend!

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
The location of this hotel is fairly remote and is accessed via a long bumpy dirt track, which I suppose adds to the safari experience. Our ground floor room was very large, clean and had good air conditioning. The staff were very helpful and managed a small wildlife problem in our room very swiftly and efficiently. The food was good and the waiters were friendly. My only small criticism is that the hotel lacks the ambience of some of the other hotels we have stayed at on our tour of northern India.

Although well-kept pretty grounds, the service was poor. We would call the front desk for new towels and be forgotten about, when we asked if they had honey or specific foods at dinner they would say yes and then bring us the wrong thing, plus the front desk incorrectly told us that it would not be charged per item (otherwise we definitely would have waited to wash most of the clothes since we only had 2 days of our trip left) so that we were charged $90 USD (VERY expensive) for a laundry service. They wouldn't coordinate for the Ranthamboore tiger safari van pick-ups, and we almost missed one except for our personal driver helping us out.

Dear Guest , Thank you for reviewing on your stay with us. We would kindly like to state that regarding your complain with our service, we hereby would look forward to improve in any matter that have made it uneasy for you. In regards to the issue of laundry price, we have made it crystal clear in the laundry list, which was also provided in your room of stay, about our laundry rates that apply per item to be laundered. Therefore it was pretty clear from our side regarding every rate of service. Also, about tiger safari van pick ups, the safaris are all booked through the agents and hotel has no say in booking or making conveyance as the department of safari is entirely under government and the bookings are all made outside of hotel authority. It's either your respective agent's duty to bring you in contact of your conveyance driver or your personal driver , to make you reach at time at the designated safari spot. We are welcoming to all your reviews and responses. Thanking you Team Tigress

This hotel has a grand entrance and appearance and is not far from entrance to Ranthambore National Park. The grounds are vast, well-groomed and the public areas and guest rooms a bit opulent. My modern guest room was enormous with a huge bedroom, bathroom and changing area. The bathroom had marble floors and a large bathtub and separate shower. Depending on which building you are in, the rooms vary dramatically - some are older, cozier, have more character (including draped fabric from the ceiling and an outdoor sitting area) and monkeys on the roof. My room was on the second floor and had no windows that opened nor an outdoor balcony (unlike the first floor rooms in my building that had outdoor patios). The window shades in my room did not work and they did not come to fix them even though they said that they would. Also, a ceiling light in the bathroom flickered. Clearly they need to stay on top of the maintenance more. Each time I returned to the hotel, I had to reconnect with WiFi, as opposed to it automatically connecting. There was a nice, large pool although the water was cold and there were several gnats flying around. A wonderful gift shop including with fabrics to chose from for tailor-made clothes, ready in a day. The gym was a large room with some equipment and no windows. The spa treatments included massage, reflexology and facials. I found the oil used in my massage to be a bit smelly, so you might want to check the aroma before agreeing to it. Big buffets were offered for all meals and outdoor seating was available (with heat lamps). Live musical performances outside in the evenings. Very kind and helpful staff (manager, reception, chef, food service). Despite the minor issues mentioned above, I highly recommend this property.

We enjoyed a very comfortable stay in a large, well-appointed room with a lovely patio area. The plentiful hot water shower was most welcome after a very dusty safari ride. The restaurant staff were friendly and attentive, most notably Batti lal and Sumit who couldn’t do enough to make you feel at ease and ensure you were well looked after. Breakfast, lunch and dinner food was plentiful and various and could be taken in the surrounds of the charming courtyard where cultural entertainment could be found to entertain you. All in all a relaxed, enjoyable stay in lovely surroundings.

Batti lal was the best host looking after us during our stay - always on hand to help and deliver fresh naan bread - beautiful rooms and impeccable attention to detail. Funny friendly staff and management! We were not able to use the spa but the lovely staff tried to accommodate us … sadly no tigers but we will return.

We recently stayed two nights here during a family holiday. The hotel on arrival is stunning and the architecture makes it feel regal.
The buffet breakfast and dinner had a good spread with lots of choice. We had the most amazing head waiter Bhatti Lal who went above and beyond to ensure one of our group who is coeliac had a good choice of gluten free food choices. He was attentive and helpful and we can’t thank him enough as this made our stay truly welcome.
One evening my daughter requested some pasta as she didn’t fancy having spicy food, and Bhatti Lal had the chef make a delicious pasta with vegetables and white sauce.
We were disappointed at not seeing any tigers on both safaris but it may give us an excuse to return in the future.
The villa style rooms were very noisy as you could hear your neighbours talking through the walls. The monkeys clambered onto the roofs in the early hours and that made us jump!
The spa was really good as we all treated ourselves to a lovely massage and felt refreshed after being in the bumpy Gypsy vans on the safari.
Overall we had a lovely couple of days and thank you to the restaurant staff for all their hospitality.

The best resort in ranthambore, impeccable service and large rooms with bath tub and spacious bathroom . The food is tasty, affordable when taken as a package with room , staff is very good. Esp . Restaurant servers like Mr Supriya and Mr battilal ... The highlight of this resort is the staff who take special care to make everyone happy and comfortable . They give a 5 star treatment to all their guests not even once they will make you feel less important or disappointed. They all greet with a smile , courtesy and comply to your quirks and demands . Very prompt staff , very attentive , very hardworking , very sweet . They are not pretentious and they make their guests feel like celebrities . As much as it may sound to good to be true we are overwhelmed by their hospitality and gracious behaviour . Even if they fall short here and there sometimes they do things which makes one not even think once of any flaws . They have very large , spacious property well managed with greenery and royal decor. The whole ambience created in morning and evening with folk musicians asking us if we would like them to play our favourite songs, was so warm and charming . I bet even Taj or Hyatt or any other 5 star can give you this feel and hospitality. The rates are affordable for the value you get in terms of room, food , service and overall stay. Big gym , nice swimming pool and games room with pool table , kids playing room and chess , spa and fine dining restaurant with ac and open air seating. Complimentary tea with biscuits and snacks plus open counter for omlet dosa etc all good . I can go on n on in their praise and they have surely spoilt us that now other resorts will look disappointing to us compared to tigress resort . The jungle also has majestic and superb feel plus looking at tigers and tigress with cubs makes the whole trip so satisfactory that one really gets over and above value for money . Thanks The Tigress , big shout out to Mr Supriya steward and Mr Battilal for making us feel like celebrities. Kudos to all ...
