It was a very nice and ambient time for us to visit , luckily it rained heavily and we really enjoyed the rains sitting in the comfort of our well maintained stocked and spacious patio room. Only regret that i felt was that the property size was inadequate ,such that just lazing around the resort was not entertaining. However the... More

Hotel is excellent in looks and ambience. Food taste can improve still. PATIO rooms lack privacy as the bed is well visible from outside as just a mat is placed over the glass pane in the entrance of the room and there's lot of gap. Check room no: 123 where we stayed. This is very important when couples stay. Definitely... More

food , service, ambience excellent. At least one english news channel should be introduced by hotel in the TV alongwith room delivery of news paper in english/local language View from the room was good which was overlooking swimming pool through a huge balcony providing magnificent view. A trip to remember particularly the state like kerala, God's own country

I stayed here for one day, when I was in Thekaddy. This hotel was one of the best experience for me during my visit to Kerala. Firstly we did not book but walked in to the reception. Right from the moment we stepped out from the car, both the receptionist and the guest relation manager (Deepthi) walked out from their... More

Ours was one night stay, The Room given to us was stinking as there was no cross ventilation. The staff did try to clean twice but it was so stinking that my wife slept out. The towels in the room were not clean and we used our own towels. Rest of the things like arrival, swimming pool etc are good.

The Elephant Court Hotel is perfectly placed in Thekkady for visitors the the wildlife reserve and lake. It is however tired and a bit run down. The worst of the hotels we stayed at in in Kerala because it just didnt live up to its billing. Our room had light bulbs out, the bathroom with shelves loose, a toilet that... More
