What I liked best about the hotel was the view from the room and the front lawn which overlooked the city (the hotel is located at a height) . The early morning view from the balcony of the room overlooking a little jungle and waterbody of sorts and a walk in the lawn with its flower beds is a real... More

Stayed here for two nights on our trip to India. The room was large and clean. There was a fan heater to warm the room through at night. Hotel is huge and there didn't seem to be many people there. The restaurant was very very cold. We had quite a few layers of clothing on but were still cold. Service... More

Ended up here for only one night (thankfully) on a guided tour through Southern India early february. An almost empty huge hotel with a sometime grandiose atrium from the beginnings of time. Freezing cold with terribly slow service in the restaurant/bar - poor food - no gin & tonics. The room's sanitary installations were a nightmare - taps falling off... More

The hotel, largest in Ooty, is situated on Havelock road near the botanical garden, has plenty of things for kids like laser disc theatre, and kids corner. The hotel makes alot of sense for it's closeness to the botanizal garden

The hotel is located about 4-5 Kms from the main city, which i personally liked. The view is very good as it sits on top of a hill by itself. However, moving around there is a little difficult, specially after 5 PM. The service was reasonable. Rooms were ok, neat and clean but nothing fancy. I liked the buffet breakfast,... More
