Excellent location and good transport facilities offered by the hotel. A slow restaurant service was the only thin that stopped me from giving full marks. Well mannered staff and fast room service. Keep it up.

Firstly donot get carried away with the name. It is a Hotel not a resort. There are no ammunities in this hotel. But provides good service & good food. The washroom & toilets get mud water in the room. Just be sure, you are fine with mud water. I won't recommend people who have kids, the mud water is not... More

Got a nice tree canopy view from the balcony. The hotel staff were friendly enough. Ran into 1 or 2 minor issues and was resolved immediately by the staff. The food as part of buffet breakfast as well as room service ( we had dinner ) was excellent. Though service was slower, the taste easily made up for the delay.... More

The hotel is about 2 kms from Kodaikanal lake. The area is calm and faces a mountain. Ample parking place is available for vehicles but if you do not have your own vehicle then commuting to lake may be a problem. Food was quite tasty. The North indian dishes were also well prepared, only naan did not resemble a "naan".... More

We had a nice stay here.Since most travellers would have their own transport its ok,otherwise a bit far from the markets and eateries.The food served was good.We were unable to get hot water in the evening and had to make a few requests for it.

I really liked the stay here and the view from balcony was excellent ! Breakfast was too good. Staff was courteous. We spent 1 day and 1 night here. Location is very calm away from the noise of the city. Its a cool place.

Must say, a very pleasant experience. When I got in, I didn't expect it would be that great. I had originally booked a room via cleartrip and one checking in, asked them to show me the room we would be checking into. It didn't have a balcony and the window faced a rockface. On requesting a room with a balcony,... More
