Sawai Madhopur Lodge - Ihcl SeleQtions

Exceptional, professional, and courteous staff provide a comfortable stay. Rooms are spacious, well-furnished, clean, and ideal for exploring wildlife. The facility includes dining room, bar, terrace, and swimming pool.

We visited this property from November 11th, ’24 – November 14th, ’24. Our package cost was Rs. 85,000 for 3 nights which included breakfast. This rate is very steep given the experiences we had. This hotel has a historic significance as it was originally the hunting lodge for the royalty and marquee people like the Queen Elizabeth & Prince Philip visited this lodge. Overall Hospitality This property is a SeleQtions Hotel by the Taj group. We seriously felt that the ‘Taj touch’ was missing in a big way. We never felt that warmth. The reception staff was strictly ‘ok’ and never bothered much about us. The only person who made our stay memorable was Mr. Rajendra Singh who oversees the food and catering. His warmth was unmatched and we have never seen such a hospitality from an individual. He went way beyond his scope of duty to make sure we had a truly delightful food experience. What a wonderful person he is! If you stay at this property, he is the person you should contact and lookout for. We would like to mention Mr. Deepak in the food and catering department who looked after us well the day we reached. Also, Mr. Praveen who entertained us with his strong knowledge of the wildlife. Rooms & Bathrooms Rooms were clean but not as they should be considering the per night cost we were paying. Bathrooms were clean but looked a bit worn down. Also, iron was missing in the room which should be provided. There was nothing in the mini bar as well. Family areas and amenities The property is quite spacious and the common areas are well maintained which we enjoyed. The swimming pool is not heated which we strongly felt should be. Children kept busy themselves (Cycling, Cricket, Pool Table, Badminton, Table Tennis, and general playing area) at the property. The property is under renovation & will be renovated entirely in year or two. But the renovation did not bother us as the property is quite big.

The unique experience of staying at a heritage property was enhanced by the attentiveness, hospitality and warmth of the hotel staff. There was also a cooking session by the lady of the house ***** with the hotel chef and other staff, truly a memory to treasure. The food is of an extremely high standard, I have never seen a Bajra ki roti puffed and so tasty. The Lal maas was so well flavoured and made to a texture and softness which just melted in the mouth. The rooms were well furnished and accessible. The heritage aspect of the hotel was preserved in the flooring and the finishes which have been preserved very well. The environs were safe enough for my son to take regular cycle rides inside the property. An experience I would love to repeat.
