After arriving in Ooty during terrible weather we decided to stay somewhere mentioned in the lonely planet. Behind the reception building it is a little bit like a compound with a couple of buildings separated by metal gates and with metal mesh covering the overhead space outdoors. It's not a particularly nice environment, however I admit the experience was made... More

Sweekar is place for people with low budget who need just place for sleeping. Everything there is simple. You will get room with bed and shower - nothing more, nothing less. Hot water is only at the morning from 7.30. You can buy a breakfast. Owner is helpful man - he can arrange trips and transportation to other cities -... More

We had breakfast twice. It was good but... More

rooms are not very big and very humid, what makes nights really cold. hot shower in the morning sometimes is hot, sometimes only warm and an elderly man demands tips for nothing. If you want to stay in Nilgiri Hills we definitly recomend you to choose any other placy than Ooty which is the ugliest and most polluted city there.... More

We read in the Lonely Planet that this place had VERY CLEAN rooms and very friendly staff. The old lady that was at reception gave us a price of 550 Indian Rs, which was much more than we expected. She said that the reason for the higher price is because our room has a ''private hot shower'', i we want... More

Hotel Sweekar is a great base from which to explore Ooty. It is located mercifully away from the bustle and noise down in the town, on a little hill overlooking the racecourse. The breakfast (not included) was delicious and the value for money in general very good. Best of all about this place is the lovely couple who run it.... More

Overall, my girl friend and I had a good experience. It was mostly due to our interaction with the polite, friendly, and helpful owner. We are 22 year old backpackers that are travelling on a budget for several months around India. We paid 600 rupee for a room with a shower, on the lower end in Ooty. The owner was... More

Hotel Sweekar is a budget, no frills hotel and you get exactly what you pay for. It was perfectly adequate, with decent sized rooms. The shower was excellent, both powerful and hot whatever time of day it was used, which is a huge bonus considering how cold Ooty can get at night. The room was a little dusty and the... More
