Great Hotel

We had a pleasant stay except for our room was close to the party hall which was disturbing. Ask for a room at level 1 or 2 and never at level -1. Other than that, excellent hotel with pleasing surroundings. Great food and helpful staff.

The hotel was pleasant and a good location to explire the wider Ooty area. As a business traveller, I would have liked to have WiFi access in my room not just the hotel lobby. However, i do understand that this is a family hotel with a large number of time share properties. Staff were friendly and overall my stay was very pleasant.

Hotel experience

Hotel room had good view. But the location of the hotel is quite remote, with bad roads it is a bit difficult. If you have your own vehicle should not be a problem or the hotel was efficient to arrange for transport.

A good hotel

It was good overall, the internet was too slow and we couldn't get a good signal in our room. the location is a bit interior but otherwise a good place to stay. the hotel is more suited for families with kids rather than a couple looking for a quiet holiday.

Nice hotel in Ooty

The hotel is undergoing renovation. The renovated rooms are excellent. The lift was not working and we were informed that repairs will take 10 days. The manager and other office staff are very helpful. Vegetarian food is excellent. Breakfast spread was top notch (we had taken the continental plan). We had a pleasant stay.

Not worth the money

Not much ventilation, rooms are over priced. Had to ask for the welcome kit and water. Few lights weren't working. Around 3700 rs a day for such a room seemed too costly. No balcony. A very small window for fresh air. It seemed like we were locked in basement. Will check other hotels next time, not this one.

Hotel rooms are built in the basement

Was given room 5 floors down in the basement. Had moldy smell & the generators are not switched on so if the lights go off then there will be no elevator service. Room service is lousy. It is far away from the main town and the approach is pretty bad.
